Just messing around with my acoustic guitar, a drum pad, and a microphone. Don’t mind the flubs.

Angie was out tonight and suggested I create something; this is the result, mostly made up on the spot. I guess I should start doing this more often.

San Francisco! My girlfriend Angie and I took a trip up to San Francisco for an extended weekend last month and I thought I would post some of the pictures on here. We flew up on a Friday evening and stayed at The Mosser. It’s a pretty cool European...

San Francisco!

My girlfriend Angie and I took a trip up to San Francisco for an extended weekend last month and I thought I would post some of the pictures on here.

We flew up on a Friday evening and stayed at The Mosser. It’s a pretty cool European Style(?) hotel right in the middle of everything. The room was pretty small and the bed was probably purchased from Ikea, but it felt cool to be staying in in downtown and the decor inside was awesome.

I had been up there a couple times before, but Angie hadn’t and really wanted to see Alcatraz. I had never thought to get tickets beforehand so I had never been either. So on Saturday we met up with some friends to go. We decided to walk down to the piers to take in the sites; it’s always great to walk through a new city, especially if LA is the one you're familiar with. San francisco has great street performers along the way too.

Alcatraz was amazing. It’s really cool as you take the ferry over to the island and see it grow larger in front of you. There was a surprising amount of walking uphill involved. But the cell house audio tour was definitely worth the climb. They walk you through the whole place with stories from former prisoners and guards. The hospital wing was open so we got to walk through there as well. Seeing old equipment and the psych ward was pretty interesting. I’ve never done an audio tour before, but it was a lot of fun. Looking over during the tour and seeing Angie smile at the same parts I was listening to was a great feeling. I’m really glad we both got to experience it for the first time together. 

That night, we found a restaurant called Bix on yelp. It was great. I’m relieved we took a taxi to get there because the entrance is down an alley and it might have been hard to find. It was dimly lit, two stories, and completely open inside. There’s a jazz trio that played music all night and the bar took up an entire wall, complete with backlit bottles to add to the atmosphere. We sat on the second story overlooking it all. It was perfect. I don't even remember what I got to eat but I remember it being delicious.

On Sunday, we met up with Brian and Iliana again and went to our first Giants game. It was a bit cold and they got their asses handed to them, but the ballpark was awesome and Brian got us great seats.

That night, we went to The Bourbon & Branch, a speakeasy bar. The first of my friends to move up there was TJ, and I had met him there on my first trip years ago. It was quite a night. This time, Angie and I met up with him and Laura, his wife..This place really commits to the theme. You have to make a reservation, there’s no sign, and you give a pre assigned password through the door slit to get in. It’s dimly lit, and looks like you stepped into a film set in the 20′s. There are a ton of old style cocktails and every one I tried was amazing (TJ and Laura weren’t so lucky; something funny in the egg whites, apparently). Since our reservation in the main room was limited, afterwards we stepped through a hidden bookcase into “The Library” bar. Angie and I closed it down after sipping more cocktails and hanging out the rest of the night.

We probably should have gone straight back to the hotel, but Denny’s sounded amazing after multiple drinks. It definitely wasn't the next day haha.

Our flight home wasn't until Monday evening, so we just kind of wandered around the city. We left it open ended to see where the day would take us. We got in Ghirardelli square (and sundaes), the marina, the wharf, Boudin, and plenty of tourist shops. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to the Golden Gate area or on the trolley, but we’ll definitely save them for the next trip.

Our flight back home ended up getting delayed by a couple hours, but the trip had been so fun it really didn’t matter. And luckily our ride, Shannan, was awesome and came late to get us.

These were only a few of the pictures since Tumblr limits posts to 10. I posted more over on Google+.

#Communicast

Oh hey, that podcast I do put out another episode. We talk about this week’s comics, that Batgirl cover, and a bunch of other stuff. Listen, if you please.

sagaoutofcontext: “Saga #16, part of Volume 3 Written by Brian K. Vaughan Art by Fiona Staples ” Words to live by.
I love so many things about this panel. She-Hulk knows what’s up.

I love so many things about this panel. She-Hulk knows what’s up.

I love comics. It’s one of the only types of media where a lot of the creators are readily available. Darth Vader #1 debuted this week, and somewhat surprisingly, spun right out of Star Wars #2. I was curious about it, so I tweeted at the writer, Kieron Gillen, and he replied almost right away. Awesome.

Secret Wars Reading Order

Time for another Marvel event! If Hickman’s last event, Infinity, is any indication, the reading order may be confusing for all the tie-ins and lead in stories. So like I did with that, I will be keeping an ongoing list to help myself out and whoever else stumbles in here.

image


This really just starts with Hickman’s whole Avengers run, but I’ll start from Time Runs Out here since that’s where it really kicks into gear. Marvel has collected their suggested pre-reading in a paperback linked below. I’ll also include links to any completed hardcovers or trades as they come out. All titles in italics are either not released yet or not sure where to place. Lastly, Comic Book Herald has been a big help in ordering this list.

Secret Wars

From everything I’ve read, you should be able to just read the main series, but I’m going to try and insert all the tie-ins chronologically where they should go in relation to it. There are a few categories of tie-ins; here are the descriptions so you can plan reading accordingly.

Collected: Secret Wars

Last Days

Last Days issues feature your favorite characters from Captain America and Ms. Marvel to Loki and Magneto in their final adventures before the Marvel Universe comes to an end in Secret Wars. They will expand on moments either briefly seen or not glimpsed at all in the main SECRET WARS series, allowing one last look at the past before the Marvel Universe moves forward.

Battleworld

Battleworld series contain stories that will directly affect the main story taking place in SECRET WARS and characters who will play a part in the larger event.

Warzones!

Warzones! series take place on the patchwork planet of Battleworld, but follow stories with more separation from the main SECRET WARS while providing building blocks for the future of the Marvel Universe.

Classic Secret Wars

These books reference the original Secret Wars and are pretty separate from the current event.
