No, we were OK with the conversation. They just lock the threads after they hit 10k. Usually just takes a while longer for the mods to lock 'em up.

Hey Mike! I didn't think you were talking about me and didn't mean to give that impression.

We all have different budgets and collect what makes each of us happy. For many years my new art pieces consisted of $40.00 commissions from Tim Sale and $20-$40 pieces from Ron Lim and I couldn't have been happier. I actually miss those days.

I'd rather spend $2k on a new trailer for my Seadoo, or another custom surfboard or something, rather than a piece of art for that amount. :laugh:

Yeah - a bit like that. Having a baby around would be nice though. Are you enjoying her? It's a really cool age and only gets better. Today was just a tough one. Wife at work all day and I had all 3. They were overtired as stayed up too late to watch Futurama!

you thinking of artist or writer sigs? think the que may depend on the popularity also.

if it's a creator or book that you really like, i would be tempted to 'waste' the time in line - especially if you don't think you will get that chance to meet them again.

but, yeah, it's a tough call to make on how to divide the time. and not just at the show, like you said there's also sightseeing in the city to think about also :vortex:

Bought "Kick Ass" on Blu-Ray.. enjoyed it enough, so I see myself watching it a couple of times a month, probably.

Any of you own it and can confirm if the extras are any good? How's the commentary, etc?

I usually buy BR's of movies that I love, but.. Kick-Ass was just a fun flick, so I took a chance. :)

I'm sure school is a bit of a bitter sweet thing, while it would be awesome to have the little ones at home it would also be good when they are back at school, well that how it is with most of my other mates who have kids anyways! :rolleyes:

I have learnt one thing Dave, it's true what they say about not be able to leave anything laying about! lol

Bella is now pulling herself upon things and walking along them and if she can reach anything she will grab it and want to play with it, so the little vases and whatnot we had sitting around on the furniture have all been moved, the house looks so bare now other than toys for Bella, it's a funny sight! :laugh:
