Sandie Shaw. Hand in Glove.

Alcatraz

My first trip to Alcatraz Island was a little wet, but fortunately the main tour happens indoors, in the cellhouse. Guests get a guided tour with headphones, and it takes about 40 minutes or so. The tour was actually pretty interesting, and takes you through the entire cellhouse. For other parts of the island, you're free to walk around on your own. Very cool if you're into ghost towns, haikyo, stuff like that. My only regret is not booking the tour sooner, we wanted to go earlier in the day but were stuck with a mid afternoon ferry. It tends to sell out pretty fast so if you're planning a visit, reserve online in advance.

DON'T FLY UNITED

Just a quick post to remind you that United sucks. Their customer service is the worst I've ever seen, and half their staff is rude and incompetent. I will be avoiding these idiots whenever possible in the future.

Beaufort House

Stayed a few nights at Beaufort House in Asheville, North Carolina last week. Beaufort House was built over a hundred years ago and is now a bed and breakfast. Our room was great, and so was our vegan breakfast.

Dai Rakugaki Matsuri

Coming soon to Super7 San Francisco! Custom figures, paintings, and photographs by Gargamel (Kiyoka and Naoya Ikeda), Chamen, KaToPe, and Cometdebris. Opening reception on the evening of April 3rd. Kiyoka, KaToPe, and Koji will be in attendance. Hope to see you there!

Tokyo to Charlotte

Had the worst flight experience ever the other day. Took a flight from Narita to Washington, DC. That went ok. The flight arrived late so we missed our connection to Charlotte. Waited 7 hours for the next flight to Charlotte, it was delayed an extra hour, and then couldn't even get on. Ended up getting a hotel in DC that United refused to pay for because our late flight was an "air traffic control" problem and not their responsibility. Slept about 4 hours and got the first flight out. So darn tiring. We have 5 more flights on this trip and totally not looking forward to them. Will avoid United in the future, their service sucks.

Bags Are Packed!

Heading out to the USA tomorrow. Will be visiting North Carolina, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. I'll be in San Francisco with Kiyoka and KaToPe for the Dai Rakugaki Matsuri opening at Super7 on April 3rd. Pretty excited! Watch the blog or my Facebook page for updates from my trip and the show.
