Zombies Vs. Robots Vs. Aliens

THAT is a battle I tell ya'. I am still alive. I just nearly died as far as this giant web is concerned. I think I'm back. So... As far as reading matierial goes... Fables 9 came out, and does not dissapoint. The series just keeps drawing me farther in. And in this volume, Santa gets thrown in the mix. Excellent. I'm currently reading "Contract with God" by Will Eisner, the legend himself. The art is simply beautiful, and the story is very moving. Really, I'm touched. It's the most recent edition featuring a couple other stories that take place in the same apartment block. Highly recommended, though considering the man has the most coveted comics award named after him I don't really think you need my endorsement. Just read it. Read quite a bit lately, but it's difficult to go back. I'll keep the updates coming.
Lots of great music happening. Okkervil River's latest is great, and the show they played early this month was as incredible as I had hoped. They played "Westfall", which is the surest way to bring a smile to my face. Modest Mouse and Earlimart rocked the house and Treasure Island Festival. I can't wait for next years. I think it's the best organized festival I've ever been to. I hope next year keeps up the high quality.
A highlight of the last few months had to be the Sci-Fi museum in Seattle. I didn't even know it was there. I had a large piece of heaven really. Saw young Skywalkers cut off hand gripping his lightsaber, Darth Vader and Yoda, Alien, Indiana Jones jacket, costumes from Blade Runner, it goes on and on. Wow, it was cool.
