Nicki and I are about to head out to enjoy Free Comic Book Day! What is Free Comic Book Day..? Free Comic Book Day is a single day – the first Saturday in May each year – when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE* to anyone who comes into [...]

M&Ms melt in your mouth, not in your library’s display case!

This weekend my wife Nicki and I had some errands to run around town. The tires on her truck have become balder than I am, I needed to get what little hair I have left cut, shop for some new shoes, and grab a bite to eat. She had been going through her comics collection [...]

When riding into Memphis from Mississippi with my wife Nicki, we occasionally see an 18-wheeler with Star Trek emblems, ship, and characters painted on the side of it. I’ve seen it here and there for a few years now- either at a weigh station or going the opposite direction on I-55, usually early in the [...]

The Backwoods Comics Festival- Good Southern Fun!

This past Saturday my wife Nicki and I got up early, hopped in the Batmobile, and headed down I-55 South towards Jackson, MS. The event was held in the Louisville Coliseum in Louisville, MS- which is northeast of Jackson, and just south of Starkville. We made good time on the way down and didn’t have [...]

Have Geek Will Travel- In Style! T-Birds flew into Memphis

Lin — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:33:31 +0000

One of the great things about Memphis is that you never know what you’ll see around the city. Last weekend Memphis had more visitors come to town from around the world. No, not more Elvis fans- although some seemed to be. These folks were T-Bird fans and they travel in style! On Saturday my wife [...]

“Hey, when/where is that cool convention?” The who, what, when, where, and why that should be on your website

Have you wanted to go to an event and had problems finding out even the most basic info about it? Can’t find a website for it? Not even a vague Facebook page for it? If there is a website, was it poorly designed and confusing? Could you look at just the home page and tell [...]
