So we just crossed the country and I have a lot to show. We stopped in New Orleans for a Bourdain-style three hour tour of the city with our wonderful guide. We played slots at a gay bar, got slushies on Bourbon St., beignets by the river, and were able to hit a comic book store. My friend and I are usually trading books through the mail but this time we could do an in-person handoff. Mister Miracle and Beneath the Trees are his picks for me. He can’t say “no one visits me” anymore!

Went to the Atlantic City Chicken Wing Festival last weekend. I think I ate about thirty wings? Many of them were good! Surprising because I expected all of them to be good but there were some that we just a mess! They give you only one vote for the best wing, and I voted for a place called Smokehouse because I think they got the chicken right. Sauce is boss but I can always add that myself later.
There was a physical challenge as well, but we couldn’t quite figure out what it was. I was in the bathroom when they explained the rules, all I heard was that there was a many-time returning champion. My best guess is that they were bobbing for wings in a bowl of ranch.

Assorted Crisis Events #7 - I loved this story and I’m upset I missed whatever the prior six issues were. I think anthology horror works so well with the comic format and it’s so easy to recommend

Happy thanksgiving! My comic book store is moving to a temporary space in a antique mall, the old building is getting demolished. Future is uncertain for Old Bill but he refuses to die!
I try not to double post here what I'm already covering on other socials, you may have seen the turkey video already. That day, a friend brought over his family's signature sauce, or chutney, or something, called sambal. I'm not sure, but it's reddish pink and it seems to be mostly caramelized onions and peppers. It's really good! Speaking of cross posting, my Fantasy Football team is "regional sandwiches", inspired by my own blog. Often I update my football profile picture with a new regional sandwich, and I'm choosing to count these sambal hotdogs. I think I'll google that word tonight and see what that's all about. His family is Australian? Not sure if that will play a role in sambal's history.
These are #44 and #45 for my July 4th to July 4th hotdog counting experiment
