A few more tickets to the Comic-Con are available. These are "returned" memberships, meaning (I guess) someone bought them and then cancelled. Go here and try to get one if you need one.
Hey, remember when a bunch of my friends and I went down to the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside to see our pal Frank Ferrante? I wrote or at least noted that the theater was beautiful and had a great sense of history...but I didn't know then that it was where Gone With the Wind had its sneak preview. Read this when you get a chance.
Here's a long profile of Mike Huckabee, who occasionally sounds like the kind of Republican I could maybe imagine myself voting for...or at least, I might not worry a lot if it looked like he had a real shot at being president. Even though some polls peg him as the G.O.P. frontrunner, I suspect he won't be by the time it comes to pick.
