Up until this point I’ve done pretty well in avoiding giving breakdowns of "What I did on this day," because, well, they’re usually pretty silly and annoying. Or at least I think mine would be. But Friday was pretty cool. I went and saw The Happening with Allie and her family, which was… well, let’s just say the company I was with was better than the movie we were watching. Later that day me and a bunch of friends went up to Domy Houston (comic book/art/book/hipster toy store) for the Gary Panter book signing.

Gary Panter, for those unknowing (probably everyone reading this save for the people that went with me), is an underground "punk" comics guy who also paints, is a musician, an animator, an interior designer, and about a million other things. He’s done Frank Zappa album covers and had his stuff in about a million big-name magazines like Time. He also designed the set for Pee Wee’s Playhouse (won a few Emmys for that), which is why I got him to sign my copy of volume one of said show. He even drew some sweet pictures all over it. He was really nice and talked to me for a while (he didn’t seem to concerned with the line) about Paul Reubens, politics, and friends of his who also helped design stuff for the show.

A little later on he narrated an art slide show and told wacky stories about Matt Groening, psychedelic light shows, and who knows what else. All in all it was a pretty awesome day and you should all be jealous for not being there. Unless you were there. In which case, I’m glad you came.

Except for you, Steve. I hate you. Tonight I kill you in your sleep.

Okay, sorry about that guys. Back to not doing "what I did on _____day" posts.
