Comical Pirates and a Gubernatorial Candidate

Glendale College hosted a campaign appearance by California Treasurer Phil Angelides, who is running for governor. Some of those lenses were less than an arm's length from his face.

Until I read an article entitled "Menace to Comic Heroes?" in the Los Angeles Times the other day, I hadn't really considered the idea that comic books might begin to be digitally pirated. But apparently it's going on and an already beleagured little corner of the mass media is beginning to feel the financial effects.

***HOLLYWOOD BOWL TICKETS ALL SOLD: This morning, I sold the last of my Hollywood Bowl Tickets for this Friday evening. We will have a delegation of 85 strong (provided everyone shows up) to see Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" radio show. It should be a fine evening. If you are a student who still wants a ticket, check in class tomorrow and Friday to see if anyone wants to sell. Work schedules change, boyfriends get dumped, etc. There's often someone who wants to sell at the last minute.
