Before Oakland, there was Madison, Wisconsin. In Madison, the hours that weren’t filled up by my day job were typically devoured by event planning and running the city’s popular arts and politics news site,
Dane101. Some of the events I organized include an annual two-night cabaret/carnival/masquerade party called the
Fire Ball Masquerade, Madison's biggest non-city sponsored
Halloween party, the geek culture focused
MadPubQuiz of Awesomeness, and the first W
hedonesque Burlesque in the country.
Having successfully reshaped the reality of Madison, Wisconsin I packed up and moved to the Bay Area in February of 2013.
In addition to comics, I enjoy imbibing cocktails and beer, exploring foreign cities, consuming food of various temperatures, hearing music performed live, losing at board and card games, and getting caught in the rain.
Isotope: The Comic Book Lounge, 326 Fell Street in San Francisco, has been named Best Comic Book Store by readers of the San Francisco Bay Guardian. Isotope proprietor James Sime wrote on the store’s website that this is the eleventh year in a row the store has been bestowed the honor. Congratulations, Isotope!
