5 minutes
trying to recover my password for this blog!!
5 minutes.
in this age of pass protected accounts is it possible to have too many of them?
this isn't a rant...more of a self deprecating look at how many accounts to keep track of.
emails (personal & biz), banks, credit cards, blogs, websites, auctions houses, etc...
originally when i tried to retrieve this password i had it sent to one of my emails which is forwarded
to another email address. only it didn't show up. so i went to the other email account, and, you guessed it...i couldn't remember that one either!
there's a list somewhere with all of it.
now if i could only remember where that list is!!!!
lol

long over due- what order to tell- COSTA RICA
it's hard to ramble on about yourself. but what's a blog to do? so get over it!!!
in no particular order, i will recount the previous months adventures.
starting with......
we went on a big family trip to COSTA RICA!!!
absolutely wonderful. 12 intense days of running around doing all kinds of Eco Touristic things.
the highlights of the trip were all the wild animals we saw: Sloths, 3 of the 4 types of monkeys (squirrel, spider, cappuchin), an arboreal anteater, the resplendant quetzal, the Jesus lizard, many types of birds, snakes, frogs, and all kinds of butterflies and other creatures.
Spectacular jungles, and beaches. yes we got sunburned. even with tons of block..it IS powerful down there.
awesome food: Ceviche!!! great fresh tropical fruits....mmmm awesome.
in the jungle the humidity was so intense our clothing was NEVER dry!
one day, while in the bathroom, my daughter called out claiming there was a scorpion in the room. yes, the kind that can EASILY kill a child. i ran out, took a coupla pictures first! and then caught him in a jar and released him. i'm 100% positive NO costa rican would have released him.
the off road 4 wheel driving i did was incredible!!! thru small rivers, up and down steep muddy slopes! if it wasn't for our guide i wouldn't ever have known what i could do in a 4 wheeler! worth every penny to pay a guide i can assure you!
tours: the coffee plantation! incredible. if you're a fan of the bean, you must do this sometime in your life.
we also went to a cacao plantation. again if you're a fan of coco or chocolate it's a MUST
the incredible thing about CR is that it's a 5 hr flight from NYC. so easy, and with good planning you can have an incredible time. and we DID!!!

WonderCon S.F. short report
just got back and i have to say that the San Fran WONDERCON is by far my favorite convention in the U.S.!!
it still feels like an oldschool convention, with a flea market atmosphere and all kinds of dealers (many local cali dealers...who probably only do this show). the biggest plus for me: a mostly low-key presence for the big publishers (marvel & d.c.), which i prefer....and very little movie & t.v. stuff.
a big tip of the hat to Dan for all the great underground comics. his buddy who sold me a couple of Ted Richards strips. it really was hard for me NOT to buy more comics...but space is always an issue at home.
there are so many people i can see out there...so it was nice to hook up with my old friend alan and his wife jinky!
hanging with Spain Rodriguez again was fantastic. cheers brother!
we had good sales all 3 days and i was sad when the show was over.

why L.A. ?
-Because it's sunny and nice in late March!
-because where my brother lives (near sawtelle ave.) i can walk to a gazillion Japanese restaurants...oh and did i mention the sun?
other notables:
-45 minutes to Malibu Canyon hiking trails
-Venice Beach canals
-my brother lives here
-i love the garden behind his house (otherwise known as a back yard)
-in that garden a humming bird visits
-pitch and putt golf up the hill at the V.A.
-jamming with my bro...him on guitar, me on bass
-eating Ramen almost every day!
i'm usually on vacation here...so i love to chill.
that's why !

Millionaire opening highlights!!!
Whatta night!! Driving to the gallery felt completely surreal. The streets and cars buried in snow and traffic moving at a snails pace. We stopped at Union Square Wines to pick up xtra supplies and then we were lucky to find parking in Dumbo. Benjamen Walker came early to do an interview for WFMU radio. It was a pleasure listening in and gaining some xtra insight into Tony's approach to art. And then the faithful started to arrive...and they kept coming ALL night long. I wasn't sure what would happen because of the weather, but Tony has some great fans!! It was a helluva show.
Some people drank too much. Ahem. But everyone was quite well behaved...for a change! I made a lot of new friends and got to meet a lot of cool people! So a big shout out to all the friends and family who showed up and all the new friends we have. Dig the pictures here
