I'm not finding it. Did they still include it with the Oct. KM printed copy this year? I didn't ask for one since I'm all digital. If so, I need to start asking for those again. Trying to work out my reading schedule on my calendar. Usually takes me a while to get it done, so I start early. That will be tricky only having access to Jan.'s schedule.

I'm afraid it's going to have to be renamed, "Super Friends: The Legend of Spidey-2 Boogaloo." Here's why. Marvel: "Hey, Iron Man made all the money. Let's green-light a ton more movies. How about having them culminate into Avengers? Cool." - Proceeds to set up each major character with their own movie years ahead of Avengers release. (and at the very least, even introduces minor characters ahead of time to cover their bases) Result: Audience engaged. Avengers makes all the money. _______ Sony: "Hey, Avengers made all the money. We want that money. Amazing Spider-Man did really well. We gotta green-light a super-team movie in Spider-Man universe. How about Sinister Six? Cool." - Proceeds to machine gun audience with every character in the books in Amazing 2" Result: ASM2 flops. REVIEW: "The latest installment of the Spidey saga suffers from an unfocused narrative and an overabundance of characters." No duh. They tried to stuff all the groundwork for multiple characters into one movie that Marvel wisely spread out over many years. ________ WB: "Hey, Avengers made all the money. We want that money. Batman trilogy made all the money too, but it's done. We gotta green-light a DC super-team movie...one with Batman. Hit em with JLA. Can't lose. Too late to set it up in Man of Steel. We'll catch it on the next one. Cool." - Proceeds to write a film that stuffs all the groundwork for multiple new characters into one movie that Marvel wisely spread out over many years. (of course, the two characters that didn't really need any setup are the only two that got one) Result: Here we go again. I don't have high hopes. I just don't believe WB has the chops to introduce that many important characters into one film successfully. I really want to be wrong. Really, really. But I wasn't about ASM2. And I just don't see any evidence of a fundamental shift in the way they make movies. (sigh)

One could probably triple that amount, but, if it were a worldly event, it would still take forever. The Ukrainian brothers and sisters represented our people well...as per usual. Either that, or the angels were working overtime. ;)

...and what's with that beard?

"On the first day of the convention, the program was interrupted by a bomb threat, resulting in the immediate evacuation of the stadium. The entire stadium of more than 16,000 people emptied within 11 minutes" That's 24 people per second, folks! Does your cong. have 100 pubs? Imagine your KH emptying in under 5 seconds.

I don't have a favorite, per sey. Beers are like music, it depends on my mood. I'm so glad I live in a place where there is no shortage of selection or breweries. Keep your milk and honey - hops and barley! That said, no one's mentioned New Holland's Dragon's Milk. You practically need a spoon. Nom noms!

Needed a happy.

Did you have THIS look on your face after the punchline? Well, that's too bad; because sometimes that works too.
