Last week I went to the Sci-Fi Museum in downtown Seattle. I’ve been a member of the museum for a number of years (many of which, I wasn’t even living in Seattle) just because I wanted to support this kind of institution — a museum devoted to the art, literature, movies, and TV that most [...]
Emerald City Comic Con is still going on today, but my schedule won’t let me spend another day bumming around the hall, hobnobbing with cartoonists and spending money on cool comics.
