Y’know who else is in Ohio this weekend (and Monday)? Neil Gaiman.

No, really. He is!

The owner came to the door and said, “Thank God it’s you guys. If the Feds knew how much drugs I had in the basement they’d seize this house.” The agents replied, “good thing they aren’t here.”

That line made me laugh. It sounds like this happened many years ago in the text of the article. It’s hard to tell though.

I found the Tyrese interview both illuminating and factually suspect. I wrote a little song about it because of that.

The Asahi Shimbun link takes me to a WordPress login page for CBR.

I think the real story of that Tyrese interview is his comic being up on iTunes. It looks like it’s bundled with a single. If you buy the entire LP/album for $1.99, you get the entire comic digitally plus other bonuses (you can apparently read the comic with or without voice-over narration and sound effects). At first I thought it was a motion comic but it doesn’t sound like it is. Unfortunately there’s no way to sample it before buying.

Anyway, hopefully this is a first in iTunes figuring out a way to make comics available. Several companies have figured out how to get comics on the iPhone. There seems to be a race as to who can become the “iTunes for comics”. Well if we can get comics on iTunes (but without having them paired with a song or some other media), then that I think will be a big win.

So this guy Miles ran a local comic store here in College Park called “Collector’s Crypt” that switched locations a couple times. His last location ended up in a converted house. We made fun of the fact that in later years Miles added some interesting items to his stock like vitamin supplements and muscle builders.

I’m trying to find out more details now, but I can’t help but assume it was Collector’s Crypt that the marijuana was stored under. There are a total of 2 comic stores in College Park and only one would be referred to as a house. That’s pretty wild.

That Vault link doesn’t work for me, something about ‘malicious code’. I blame the Cabal.
