Tat City
I’ve never lusted to have someone create indelible drawings on my own skin. But I kind of enjoy looking at other people’s tattoos. And I have many questions about the larger tattoo culture, e.g.: why has it become so much more mainstream in … Continue reading

Pagan Pride
In case you didn’t have a chance to stop in at Saturday’s ninth annual Pagan Pride celebration in Balboa Park, I did. It was too beautiful a day for me to dive too deeply into metaphysics, but I did come … Continue reading
Powerless
San Diego is normally a glowing, buzzing, light-filled place, at night as well as during the day, so when the power went out yesterday it transformed the place. When it started, around 3:40, I assumed that the heat had caused … Continue reading

Pony Talk and Donuts
I drove up to Del Mar this morning, parked at the racetrack for free, walked in the gates for free, helped myself to a free cup of coffee and chocolate donut with sprinkles, and settled down to listen to three … Continue reading
Ye Olde Comic Days
Among my few regrets in life is that I never went to any of the early Comic-Cons. I couldn’t have attended the very first one — held in March of 1970 in the basement of the El Cortez Hotel — because it … Continue reading
