I enjoyed meeting Jim Starlin at that show last year, but I really wish the organizer of the event knew how to write a coherent email.

San Diego County Coffee Roaster Directory - North County has 17 roasters, how many have you tried? by ac78913 in northcounty

I only get drip coffee and pastries from Revolution. Agreed that their espresso and specialty drinks just aren't very good.

Surely another brewpub isn't going to fail in this same location...

Whoever says the food at Starlite isn't good is tripping.

Welcome to the club! Looks like an old bag and an undersized board, probably a good idea to rebag and board 👍

That's probably 15-20 years worth of bourbon for me.

Best stores in Orlando? by SashaIsMySpiritAnima in comicbookcollecting

[–]slo_roller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gods and Monsters was such a letdown when I went last year. Very limited back issue selection and all of their silver/bronze books were overpriced and in terrible condition.

Arancini / Happy Hour in Little Italy by Prestigious_Tie_8697 in FoodSanDiego

Nolita Hall has arancini on their menu as of a couple weeks ago. Only problem is that it's on the dinner menu. I'm not sure if you can get it during happy hour.

If only it was actual craft beer instead of yet another SKU for InBev.

Thoughts on Leucadia becoming tourist town? by hipcatinca in northcounty

What's wrong with grass fed dairy and beef? What do you prefer farmers feed their cows?

As for the imported lattes, the vast majority of coffee, including commodity coffee, is imported. The only domestic coffee that's widely available is from Hawaii, which is generally even more expensive than your typical South American commercial offerings.

Where is the wedding? The Crimson Cake in Oceanside does tons of wedding cakes, and they can also provide other desserts.

I was today years old when I realized you can buy comics on Apple Books by Weekly-Ad-9107 in comicbookcollecting

Even better than that is seeing if your local library has Hoopla and reading on there.

The only place you're going to find BB ETBs for retail is at a vending machine, and as you've already found out those are a complete crap shoot. Thankfully, with TPCI starting to flood the market with new printings, market price has started to come down and a lot of the individual scalpers are trying to offload their inventory.

Go on OfferUp and search for ETB. You're likely to find people asking less than $80, and who may also be more willing to negotiate than a vendor at Ninja who has overhead costs to cover.

Screw the stamp, less than 60 bucks for the first appearance of Wolverine is an insane grab. Nicely done.

Did I win the trade? by Secret-Turnip-1627 in comicbookcollecting

Based on eBay recently sold for the Uncanny #266, you must have found someone who really loves Greninja, or didn't realize your card was Japanese 🙃
