Code Blue book release party


Grisham and Aicher families were both in attendance although it was an adult themed night. Arab from love canal told Sharon about when they had punk gigs at the hotel (sea port marina hotel, long beach) it had a punk rock Vegas type feel to the room. The turn out was awesome. Our punishment for making naughty books was writing our names 500 times, but it was so worth it. My thanks to Jack and his big family, thanks to Iris Berry, and thanks to my friends who came down (Bridget Randsom had a new haircut and I did not recognize her, you have a beautiful wife John!) good too see my friends. you can still get me to sign yer books at my shop (Aicher's Pop Kustom Shoppe at Crafted 110 22nd street, San Pedro, CA 90731 in warehouse 10, space 118a) where I still have signed copies of Code Blue, Untamed, my comic books, t shirts, trading cards and lots more. I am there Friday thru Sunday 11am to 7pm... Stop in and see me. You might ever catch me painting live. Thanks for a fun night all you monster kids. most of all thanks to my wife Sharon who is my everything. Rest in peace, Marla.

Take a break driver 8....

Took a look yesterday at some old shops I have not been to in awhile. Memory Lanes was first and I found a Snoopy Toothbrush in the box from 1974! I had this as a kid but I was not sure I needed this (the box was beat, but amazing it was all there) it was on sale (20% off) so I got it. Found 2 kid cups too. A Hanna Barbera and a Pink Panther cartoon cup. I left behind a Planet of the Apes cup because I think I have one already in my junk dungeon. The next stop was a few blocks over to Street Faire Antiques on Satori in old Torrance. I found 3 old kids reference books on cars and space with cool illustrations and the odd thing I found was a Kenny Loggins comes Alive RCA video disc which I thought would be a buck or two but they wanted 15 so sadly I left Kenny behind. (could have been a cool gift for my pal Pete who is his cousin.) I might go back (maybe some rainy day) for it because now it's in my mind and on my blog. What is this junk worth? Well, what it means to me is a smile in the morning when I drink my coffee. Someday it will find another home or who knows, but for now I will be glad that now and then a good hunt is still fun. I may need to garage sale some old stuff to get more junk when I need to get out of the house. All in a day....
