Photos: Vegas, palles (Day 2: Red Rock Canyon)

In my trusty guidebook, THE UNDERGROUND GUIDE TO LAS VEGAS, they recommended three "must-see" outdoor sights just outside of Vegas. I only had time for one, thus missing out on Mount Charleston and Valley of Fire State Park (which the guide recommended as an ideal place to "pull a Jim Morrison and just trip among the already-psychedelic sandstone shapes and rock formations"). Maybe next year.

No stories here. No smart-ass comments. Just pretty pictures of an awesome place from someone too wimpy and cold to even do one of the "easy" hiking trails.

not going out today, brb

I hate this day. No, I mean it, I really, really do. If I'm not made to feel like an ass, I'm disappointed because certain jokes just aren't true.

Harlan Ellison forms COMIC BOOK LEGAL OFFENSE FUND. I would be giddy with terror over the alliance of Harlan and Dave Sim, let me tell you.

Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev to adapt WAITING FOR GODOT. Bendis desperately needs to be kicked out of comics so he can become a playwright. In all seriousness, he has the ability to become the next Mamet. For better or worse.

Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Scriver's latest character resurrection: VIBE: REBIRTH. Hell, I'd happily take that over WIZARD's April Fool's joke article a number years ago about Paul Dini and Alex Ross doing an tabloid-sized fully-painted WONDER TWINS epic. My favorite part:

"There is a downside, though. Just as Ethan Van Sciver had to scale back his involvement with Blackest Night in order to do Flash: Rebirth, Geoff Johns won’t be available immediately for the post-Rebirth relaunch of The Flash. “I’m sure the fans will be happy to know,” Didio said, “that for the first six months of the ongoing, the Flash will be in Judd Winick’s capable hands.”

Winick himself was unavailable for comment."

As someone else already remarked on noscans_daily, man, that's cold.
