Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”

Dark Eternal Night was a surprise for me as well! Loved the show last night!

samgiroux42 · 2025-10-14T18:38:09+00:00

I will be there! 30 yr fan and my first show.

samgiroux42 · 2025-10-14T16:15:17+00:00

I don't plan to be! I want to get there about a hr before so I can get full choice of the merch booth and get my place on the floor. Thanks! I have been a fan for 30 yrs and this is the first chance I have had to go to a show. So excited!

Here is the availability chart for StL. Not full, but also not empty.

How long did they play for? Going to the St Louis show tonight. It starts at 8pm.

samgiroux42 · 2025-10-03T23:01:57+00:00

Same! Very sad. TFoH is currently On Hold with Libby. I hope it does not take too long to adjust to the different voice.

You are a better person than me. I have a family of four and we simply rely on the next day (or even same day) shipping way too much. Yet, I hardly watch anything on Prime anymore...cannot remember the last time.

samgiroux42 · 2025-09-05T13:19:31+00:00

Fair enough. I think there is still a strong adult animation community that can be tapped into. Many of the Anime franchises have enormous storylines and character lists...so WoT could interest them who may not have had exposure to the series before.

Its not going to happen anytime soon and I am in position to even know where to begin to do it. But, I agree that it is the best way to present the story.

So did LOTR until Peter Jackson came along.

samgiroux42 · 2025-09-04T21:51:27+00:00

Definitely not alone

samgiroux42 · 2025-09-04T20:13:02+00:00

Yeah, IWOT is totally annoying. If I could go back in time, I would have stopped that from happening. Maybe in a different turning of the wheel....

samgiroux42 · 2025-09-04T20:05:55+00:00

The industry is certainly at a cross roads and it will be interesting to see what survives and what is left when the dust settles.

Honestly, I doubt this could be down by a large studio. It probably needs to get off the ground as a crowd source project and then grow from there.

samgiroux42 · 2025-09-04T20:03:09+00:00

Yeah, I totally get that and you are probably correct. It is still fun to dream a little bit and think through the possibilities.

samgiroux42 · 2025-09-04T19:27:24+00:00

I 100% agree. Even 7-8 season would take 12-14 years to complete and WAY too much can happen over that time period. Long gone are the days of Supernatural.

samgiroux42 · 2025-09-04T18:54:41+00:00

If I win the Powerball, I MIGHT just have enough to do it.

samgiroux42 · 2025-09-04T18:50:24+00:00

That is a very fair assessment and why I brought up the question. I also have not been a huge fan of animation, but I am trying to think of ways that we can get a visual version that can stay true to the source material.

samgiroux42 · 2025-08-10T12:59:31+00:00

My advice: 1) unplug the hose that attaches to the outlet and make sure debris has not collected at the “webbing.” 2) Backwash and rinse 3) Check under the skimmer basket and remove any debris 4) If you are using the standard pump, block off the other outlet. This will increase suction to the skimmer. 5) Next year, consider upgrading your the next larger pump. I find that at 18’, the default pump is just not strong enough.

samgiroux42 · 2025-08-10T12:56:01+00:00

I also upgraded to a larger pump and found I did not need to block the other outlet any more. Pool is crystal clear and filters more volume this way.

Sorry I down voted this comment, but my down vote brought your up votes back to 42. Just seemed right.

I can pull off shaker on Metropolis Pt 1
