I guess Dan was right. I just had to wait until I felt like it.Today's post inspired by ANNIHILATOR (1986), a not-good, but interesting pilot for a TERMINATOR rip-off television series shot in and around LA of the period. And then it gets kinda interesting and wild and probably could have gone places.Anyways, the Bonaventure was featured in a couple quick shots. Here's a photo I took of the place in 2016.

Los Angeles, 2016. From the observation deck of Griffith Observatory, very early in the morning.

San Diego, 2002. Though I don't trust that date. Probably 2001, maybe even the year before. Guy I knew from my job in LA moved down to downtown San Diego where I was living at the time. Built a lamp for his place out of empty pill bottles. Kinda neat, really. Taken with the Kodak DC290.

2004, the Isotope in the Sunset Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. I think this was taken early on in the evening of the Isotope Awards ceremony/party. Probably one of the first times I ever visited the shop. James (Sime) and I both have more gray hair now than then, but the love of comics still endures.

First iPhone photo to be run on the photo of the day feature, I think. iPhone 7 because the upgrade treadmill is not a thing for me.Anyways, it's a secret photo of my writing process."What should I have them do next?"*intense stare*"Okay, but what about this plot branch?"*intense stare*"Any help on this thing I can't reconcile but can't remove?"*bite*"Too purple? I did spend a whole two paragraphs talking about a mixtape and what it meant to the character and really the totality of the moment."*indifferent stare*There you have it, folks! A glimpse behind the magic! What other clues can you tease out from this?

Yup, forgot to post yesterday. Double post today.San Diego Comic-Con, 2007.Stumptown Comics Fest (as it was called by that name for a couple years still) that same year. Not the show floor, but a dinner after the show on Sunday, I think. Maybe Steve knows which restaurant this was. Chinese place. Had a section on the menu just for "Scallop and Frog."

2016, Rose City Comic-Con, and one of my favorite/most hated video game villains ever.
