Wondercon 2016 Pictures! At long last
The convention ended weeks ago. I Finally got all my pictures sorted (as well as my dad’s). These are a few of my favorites. enjoy. I had a blast and as usual, the costumes were amazing. Thanks to Forest and my dad for making this happen and sharing your pictures. Huge thanks to everyone at Wondercon and especially everyone in costume (please send me links and i will happily include them here). See you next year!
Beautiful day for flying
It started off a bit hazy. The air was not ideal for photography, but I still managed to capture a few great shots. It was actually my first visit to Catalina Island. Luckily, it was the first day of the late hours, but unfortunately the restaurant did not get the memo. We had time to hike about before taking off again. We took a meandering route back to Hawthorne and did some sight seeing. I even took the yoke. Continue reading for some amazing pictures.
last minute arrival to TMBG show!
Coming from Wondercon to the show was only a bit stressful because I had left my tickets at home. Luckily we got there moments before the show started. Our late arrival didn’t help us stake a great spot. Luckily my new camera has impressive zoom for it’s tiny package. I even got some amazing video.
Superbowl Sunday at The Broad Museum!
Amazing exhibits. They let you take pictures, so here are mine. enjoy.
Celebrate Black Friday with friends at Tuna Canyon Park
As someone who enjoys his occasional blatant consumerism, I spent this year’s favorite shopping day in much more serene surroundings. After an incredible brunch with friends in Topanga Canyon, we journeyed on to Tuna Canyon Park. The air was so clear we could see for miles, even all the way to downtown Los Angeles. After the sun set, Sushi (and Sake). What a wonderful day.
Hot enough for you?
LA topped 100 degrees today and I am melting.
An Air Raid Siren Woke Me Up This Morning. . .
Seriously, at 6:30am approximately. I was ripped from my slumber more confused then annoyed. Trying to figure out what it was. Not a car alarm, no modern alarm at all, but the rolling wail of sirens past. The only thing I could think of was the cold war era air raid sirens that have dotted the San Fernando Valley landscape. It rang out again at approximately 10:30am. We also remember hearing something last night at approximately 11pm. I drove down to the nearest to have a look and snap this photo. It looked just as derelict as always. No sign of hooligans. I may never have answers. According to the internet this emergency system hasn’t been used since a test in the mid 80s. Anyone else have a clue?
Interested in these things? here is a great map:

Parking in Santa Monica is serious
This is how I find my car after the vallet parkers have gone. What were they trying to do? What purpose does that chain serve? I may never know.
