These places are real

Gediminas Pranckevicius paints as though these places are real. But, I think they are. The only reason I have to believe they might not is because I haven’t received an obnoxious call from a computer woman with a LIMITED TIME OFFER for a cruise that will take me to one

This past weekend I had the chance to stop by Short Run Comix & Arts Festival here in Seattle. I had never been before. In fact, I had never even heard of it until I was invited to a ‘Short Run Beach Party’ on Facebook where two bands I love, The Shivas and
