Blogs and bloggers?

Wow, John! You are a busy beaver online, aren't you??

Question, your sketchbook collection....how does that work? Are you just buying hardcover sketchbooks and then you have artists fill in the pages? Cool idea. Some great stuff you have there!

Man, I wish we had a Korean BBQ joint around here in Reno. I love me some good Kimchi. I ate it whenever I could while I was in Japan, there were a few spots that had it. Reno has the suckyest selection of restaurants.

I know, I can't live without my Korean BBQ, there are two spots I love to go to both have their perks... We were actually talking about hitting a spot for dinner tonight! LoL... Do you not have any decent oriental grocery shops up there?

As a matter of fact, yes, we have two Asian supermarkets here, but imo, they are just OK. If you want packaged/canned/jarred stuff, they are decent, but for a good selection of fresh stuff, not so much.

That said, I did stop by one of the joints today, and this place is mainly Korean and they always have fresh Kimchi in the cooler there. It never looked that appealing but I decided to pick up a tub of it anyhow and test it out. Its decent, but I've had better.

Bart Bro, I feel sorry for you...

Even though we have a population of just over 100k between Fargo & Moorhead, we have at least one Korean BBQ joint, several Sushi places, 3 authentic Thai restaurants, a couple Japanese/Teppanyaki places, one extraordinary Vietnamese restaurant, & the usual profusion of Chinese buffets, two of which are very good.

I also know of at least three - four good Asian markets. (you can actually buy ox tail & chicken feet)

When I moved back here from HI in 93, friends on the Big Island were sending me care packages almost monthly...

Who knew Fargo was gonna turn into an Asian restaurant/market hot spot...

Yeah, Reno is limited when it comes to GOOD international cuisine. Being from Chicago, we had everything. Out here, lots of American food. Believe it or not, imo, we don't even have a good Italian restaurant, and that is PATHETIC.

We do have one REALLY good Chinese spot, and 2 very good Thai spots, 1 good Vietnamese/Chinese joint, and 2 or 3 sushi spots, 1 of which I really like. We do not, as far as I know, have a real Korean place. Supposedly, there is a sushi place that serves Korean here but I have heard it isn't very good.

If you want a good burger though, we got em. Pizza is a little tough too.

I use my Facebook page to update all the useless stuff nobody cares to hear about.

I do two different things - I've got several hardcover sketchbooks that I take to shows - in the old days most artists would doodle in them for free - these days you have to pay them for the sketch. It helps that some of my books have very well known artists in them so a lot of artists want to be included.

The other thing I do is I take graphic novels to shows and get artists and authors to sign them - they frequently put in small sketches. I've got quite a few books like that and some are quite spectacular.

That's awesome, I have some original stuff too. Nothing like an original or signed comic. Very neat.
