Sandbaggin' at the Fargodome
Lindsey and I just got back from sandbagging at the Fargodome. There were so many people there - hardly any parking spots. My camera had almost zero battery power but I managed to get a couple less-than-perfect shots of the action. The top photo is the south end zone area and the bottom picture is a blurry, crappy picture of one of many sand piles that dotted the dome. Our backs are pretty sore but what the hell. The news casts make it seem like the flood is under control so far... at least in Fargo-Moorhead. Now I'm drinking a Leine's 1888 Bock. Wish you were here compadres!

Spring Break!
This week is my second Spring Break in a row. Last week was Mankato's, now this week is the U's. Last week I had a ton of work to do and I had to go into school every day, though, and this week I just have to work my two days in Mankato. Plus it's warm out. So it feels like Spring Break, and this lady feels it too.

Frank Quitely (and Grant Morrison) to do "Batman and Robin"
from CBR:
"The DC Nation page that concludes this week’s new DC Comics releases confirms long-standing rumors that Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely – the award-winning and best-selling creative team of “All Star Superman” – are in development on a new Batman series called “Batman & Robin.”
Accompanying the Frank Quitely images is a message from DC Executive Editor Dan DiDio that reads, “We interrupt this week’s DC Nation page to showcase some very special art for a very special new comic series….”
“Batman & Robin” is expected to debut in June."
Sounds great to me - hope it's true and actually occurs. How 'bout them teasers?
Superman: World of New Krypton Trailer
I thought I'd post this in case y'all are interested. DC started this over-arching Superman story a few months ago, but the actual first issue of the 12 issue "World of New Krypton" series came out last week. For the next year, this World of New Krypton series, Action Comics, Superman, and Supergirl will all be following this storyline. The gist of the story is that a bunch of Kryptonians show up on Earth, cause havok, and are banned from the planet. They all then go off to a new planet, "New Krypton" and set up shop with none other than General Zod as their militaristic leader. Superman goes off to New Krypton to keep an eye on Zod and will be absent from Earth for the next year. [...hope I got that more or less correct...]
I don't read a ton of Superman, but I will be buying the main "World of..." series. Last week's issue#1 was really good and sets up what looks to be an interesting tale.
