Is it really this time of year already?
So, it is October and none of us have posted a blog about what's going on with the Gentlemen since we returned from Comic Con in July. Man, are we fucking lazy or what?
Truth is, not a lot. Frog is working on the Sketch Customs line and with his band A is for Alibi and that whole getting married thing. Matt is trying his damnedest to get Dreamers out by Wizard World Texas and his whole being a dad thing. Chaz is up to no good *cough*jailbait*cough*. And as for me, I'm just kind of doing my own things.
A few other secret things are in the works. Unfortunately, being secret, I can't chat about them just yet.
Aside from that, it's fall, it's election time again, and my birthday is in a couple days. I'll be getting LEGO Batman, so I probably wont be taking any calls for a bit. Until next time, peace out kids.

Back from Comic Con
So, I suppose I should let you know that we are back from SDCC. Especially since we came home Monday, then yesterday there was an earthquake that rocked the west coast. Man. We missed the fun. Ah well. We got a ton of cool shit, checked out the coast, chilled with friends, made a few new friends, all that fun stuff. Got some new books I'll be reviewing over at www.heroplex.net along with the regular slew of comics and movies. My legs feel like Jello and my brain is about the same. I'm out.

San Diego Comic Con! Here we come!
Hey kids! Sorry it's been awhile, but we've been up to no good. Since I last left any bloggage here, we've gone to see Hellboy II and The Dark Knight. You can check out my reviews of both of those films and the new comic Conan: The Cimmerian over at http://www.heroplex.net/ as well as some reviews by Matt and new comic book drops.
On to the upcoming stuff. Frog and I fell behind on getting the webcomic ready but for good reasons. For him, it is his impending (which sounds a bit sinister, now that I think about it) marriage to Miss Sketch Customs, and for myself...It is that Matt, Chaz, and I will be hitting San Diego Comic Con! Getting ready for this trip has been a pain in the ass, but now that the plane out is tomorrow, I am even more stoked than I can ever remember being. HOPEFULLY, we will be coming back with my review of the preview of Will Eisner's The Spirit (directed by Frank Miller!), the movie Fanboys, and possibly the video game Mortal Kombat Vs. DC, as well as an interview by Matt with Dead@17 creator Josh Howard. Who knows what other cool things we'll be back to tell you about? You'll have to check back in sometime next week after we've had a chance to cool down and get our notes and such organized.
Be sure to check back here and at the Heroplex website for the reviews and other news from the con next week.

P.S. Don't forget to congratulate Frog!

From Broadway to Cowtown...
Ok, I've had a bit of time to calm down since my last post. Well, more that boredom made it impossible to be angry. I digress.
This past week, the Broadway play Avenue Q played at Bass Hall in Fort Worth. I don't really know how to explain to you how good a show it is. I suppose a bit of basic information would suffice, for starters. Avenue Q is, at a glance, an R-rated parody of Sesame Street. Filled with vulgar language, puppet sex, gay jokes and racism. The jokes are not meant or told in offensive ways, but used in a way to hold maximum poignancy while remain incredibly funny. This is where I steer you to listen to the songs "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" and "If You Were Gay". Yes, the jokes are sexist and racist, but they are told in a way that is more like when an alcoholic finally admits to being an alcoholic. With a side order of self-deprication.
In depth, though, is where the story and plot really shine. The main character, Princeton, is a recent college grad who is trying his best to make it in the real world of New York City. But, after all, "What do You do With a BA in English?" He moves into the slums of Avenue Q and meets the rest of the down-on-their-luck cast who would seem more like your actual friends if they weren't made of foam rubber. Many of the characters hit rock bottom at different points throughout the story. It is in these moments that the characters begin to truly find themselves, and in their darkest hour shine their brightest.
The show is no longer at Bass Hall. So, sadly, I can't tell you to go pick up tickets. What I can tell you is to pay attention. See if it comes to your town. If it does, I highly recommend going to see a performance. Go pick up the soundtrack, if you can. I think they sell it at Best Buy, so it shouldn't be too hard.
Until next time, peace kids.
