I'm now at the Power Plant at a place called Paperclips, where they have internet rental, and thank God for that. Waiting for the others to arrive, going to watch JURASSIC PARK 3. Across from Paperclips is a Dunkin Donuts. Got some coffee and donuts before walking over here. While munching on my Choco Caramel Donut and sipping on their not-so-strong brewed, I couldn't help but think about all those nights we spent in Dunkin or Mr. Donuts during the mid-90s. We usually ended up there after a movie where we talked about movie, other movies, comic books, and came up with many fantastic and inane stories that will never see print. The people in the Alamat mailing list were talking about meeting up and having a tambayan . Gerry was the one who mentioned about CyebrCafe, that it was almost a guarantee that every Saturday there would be at least two Alamat people in that cafe. God, I miss those days (and nights and early mornings). But life goes on and so do we. Last ...
Been reading the reports about this year's San Diego Comic-Con … nakakainggit! Went there in 1994, which was when I was giving away copies of COMICS 101, the very first comic book which I got published. It was at that convention when I gave Whilce a copy of our comic book, which reminded him to include me in that little meeting, which lead to the formation of Alamat. But that’s another story… Went back San Diego in 1995, giving away the Alamat Comics Package to every editor we could corner. Was able to meet Neil Gaiman. Got his autograph. Saw this girl dressed up a Voodoo... :) Hopefully can go next year.
btw, I've updated Dave's site (in case anyone out there is interested)
You think you're kung-fu is better than my kung-fu?! I am master of the Farting Snake technique! Attack me and try! Well, not really a kung-fu style, but the Sonoran Coral Snake does, well... fart when threatened. Now, I'd love to see that Croc Hunter -dude from Animal Planet try and catch a Sonoran. "Oh, what a beeeeooootiful snake..." PPRRRRRRRRFFFTTT!!! "Blimey!"
