Dang it, was almost done writing a comment and Win Explorer closed this site to protect my computer.
Okay, lets see…
The food may have been pretty good on the receiving end of the sweet potato pie toss.
C’mon, is Randie really surprised that noone bought one of paintings of evil, deranged, murderous gnomes? She is lucky (?) though that they amazingly did not appeal to a darker gang-attendee element at the festival who may have wanted them for free.
Ah, local community comic commentary. Is it that things get stolen there, that groups of evil gnomes run amuck, or a combo of the two?
And, lastly (yeah?), I put a link in yesterday’s comments to an amazing Nirvana reunion video with Sir Paul McCartney taking the lead honors at the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert last night.
stick… cartoonists, as you know, ingest the world around them… and regurgitate stuff. I have, for the sheer joy of regurgitation, remarked on the community in which I live. It cannot be argued that there is a gang problem in Salinas…. and thusly, crime. Why… just before the Cartoonery Christmas party, I had a cute fuzzy bag of candy canes on my office door… that was swiped. (I blame the gnomes).
And to further the “loud music” theme from yesterday’s toon (and prior toons leading up to it)… Um, if you have problem with LOUD music, that video is NOT for you. I hope the front row (and probably 50 rows back) brought their ear protection. Be it my job to comment here in this comment section, which may or may not be relevant, I didn’t like Nirvana when they were together. I still don’t like them… and Paul, whom I have always liked, but feel he should retire soon (just an opinion… I’m stating opinions here), seems to be trying too hard to stay relevant, himself. THIS WAS for a GREAT cause… so my judgmental-ness can be tossed aside.
In fact, disregard this entire message.
Oh… nice avatar, YAT… keep an eye on it! They wander!
Yeh, at 70 Paul is still striving for relevancy, even in the world of grunge. But what can you say, the guy is in demand, and a Nirvana reunion smacks of coolness. That video was interesting for so many reasons. Paul looks to be such a nice clean-cut guy among the original Nirvana cast, and yet I’m sure he did his share of drugs in his day too. Funny too that he sports a Bo Diddley sort of square guitar and uses a finger slide. Dave Grohl the big hairy drummer and founder/leader of Foo Fighters looks so much like the muppets’ Animal. And even though concert started at something around 7:30, McNirvana didn’t do their song until 1 am, which was amazing for the Madison Square venue. Well, I’m sure such other performers as The Rolling Stones, The Who, Bruce Springsteen and Kanye West helped stretch it out.
A big plus, the venue did not cut off the speakers on Sir Paul here, like was done recently in London when he and Springsteen were playing too late.
Okay, the concerts in NY and Cyp City are done, on with the comic show…
To answer your question from yesterday, I don’t know that I have a favorite band name, but I get a kick out of names that are full sentences, like The Number Twelve Looks Like You, or Arsonists Get All the Girls….
On the topic of Salinas having crime, there was an article in today’s Sacramento paper about yet another trial involving the robbery murder of yet another drug dealer.
The prosecutor (district attorney) said something to the effect of…
The good thing about being a marijuana dealer is that people think you have money and weed, and that makes you cool.
The bad thing about being a marijuana dealer is that people think you have money and weed, and that makes you a target.
btw, I was scheduled for jury duty this week and got dismissed.
stick.. the music celebrity list was impressive. The donations were impressive and the reminders of LiveAid, BandAid, FarmAid and the like were there… I didn’t watch, but I saw the highlight reel. Good on them.
… and Salinas thuggery ruins what would otherwise be a nice place to live.
uwg… them long band names makes the t-shirt cost much higher. Short name take less ink.
