Sharkey's Chicago Report With Gobs o' Pics

[Sharkey]

Thursday night: Sushi with Greggy, Seanfingh, TheWatcher, JoeyPost, and Doc Joe. Greggy also picked me up an awesome Shark Week bag, which is featured in many pictures below.

 

Please note, I hit post before I added captions I'll be doing that soon, so check back. (thumbs u

 

Also, many pics are of me wearing a "Hannah's Heroes" shirt. That's my niece's fund-raising team and they raise money for the JDRF (juvenile diabetes research fund).

It was good re-meeting Sharkey this weekend. For the record, in the pictures above, I see 1 potential nipple slip and 2 "It's a man, baby!" candidates.

Good job with the pics!

[Sharkey]

Thanks! I also picked up a handful of books, but haven't had time to take pics and post. Will try to do so tonight after work. Picked up some Bronze Age Horror 100 pagers, some early Ditko (Thing, Space Adventures), a Sgt Fury 1, and some other stuff too.

 

It was great seeing all the boardies. I realize I focused way too much on taking pictures of the freaks and geeks, and not enough time taking pics of all you homies.
