Alright, we’re back from California, and everything is copacetic. Hope all the readers are hangin’ in there too.

Number one, I have to say, is that stepping off the plane from sunny Palo Alto and into the wonderfully gray Pittsburgh weather was not the most pleasant return. Nor was having our bags lost somewhere in Dallas, nor coming home two hours after we expected to in the wee hours of Easter morning, but we survived, and now we are back in the saddle.

I have no thrilling news for anyone, no updates on anything community or public wise, but as promised, we do have some pictures of San Francisco.

^ At Pier 39 (down along Fisherman’s Wharf) there were some interesting things to see. Here was our buddy, a Sea Gully. We didn’t name him yet, but we are open to suggestions.

^ Anne found a crab topiary and decided to mimic it.

^ And then we found a completely random wooden seal that I made friends with.

So if you are asking: “Did you two really run all over San Francisco taking weird photos of yourself acting like spazoids?” The answer is “Oh definitely.”

Good morning everyone. What a lovelyMonday we are having. For the first time in a long time, it is sunny and warm in Pittsburgh. I will not hold my breath that it will last.

I am, however, pleased to announce that we did complete our submission to the Webcomics Tarot Project, which you should all check out, because it is a pretty interesting concept. (I should note now that it has nothing to do with tarot, really, and has everything to do with artwork and webcomics. Then again if you are reading this particular comic, the chances are that you aren’t that spooked by the tarot anyways, yes?)

Anyhow, I was a little bummed that the major arcana were already taken but we still managed to snag the entirely appropriate 9 of Disks (or Coins as they are calling them), and the result was an astounding arrangement of art nouveau, and some Leo glory.

You can check out the full image on our DA page, and I’ll plug it into the gallery later this week.

The second thing is that Vienna Teng has just released her new album, Inland Territory, which I bought at the concert she held here a few weeks ago, and it is phenomenal. I suggest you all go buy it. It is best for everyone this way. Trust me.
