Adventures of the Week

This week is turned out to be a late one for me both Tues and Wed nights. Tuesday, I went to the Feist Concert at Humphrey's with Ed and it was a great concert. L. Feist was engaging with the audience and added a rebellious streak to a notoriously conservative San Diego. The security did show their weakness of power, since they could not contain the drunk concert goer female dancing to the wonderfully harmonious tunes that drifted it's sound in the cool yet warm bay air. Funny as it seems, I was rooting for the concert goer for a moment, then started rooting for the security guard as the rusher's backs were in my face from the lack of 'cow herding' so to speak. A bit of anger went in the air when an otherwise peaceful looking fellow told Ed "why don't you shut up, after he told the peace fellow's girlfriend to sit down because her back was in our face and we could no longer see the stage from our "good seats". Not something to say to Ed. It was a weird brief moment of my life, where I let myself go and shouted "just sit the FU*K down and all will be good". No fighting is ever good, but in Ed's defense, be a bit sympathetic to those who couldn't get the good seats yet never take the motto the early bird gets the worm for granted.

COMIC CON PREVIEW NIGHT
I am not one to go to this, in fact, I felt a bit out of place with the geekiness in the air. My mission get to booth 2729 and purchase a place to get to be a foot away from Tori Amos on Saturday. I guess the first 20 people in line, turned in to the first30, and hour in that line, I was ok with that, what I wasn't was my lack of blood sugar from waiting and knowing that this event was a test on how patient I really am. I guess if you want something really bad, you can do it. I get the people with passion and maybe too much time on their hands to wait days for something. I wasn't quite that desperate but I did hold my patience and was granted the right to a coveted Tori Amos meeting, just for my brief under a minute signing, maybe sneak a photo or two. This beats the binoculared viewed concerts that I have faithfully attended for over the past twelve years here in San Diego. So after brief nice words from few of the comic artist collaboraters that worked on this project, one of which had beautiful etchings of his talents on hand for my admiration, I walked away with #2 of 500 of the limited print of the cover exclusive to the convention. I will still need to purchase my book for her to sign, but at least I am in. Now to get into the con. on Sat. with out bursting my patience bubble.
Here are some of my purchases:
