I wanted to talk a little bit about fried chicken, a break from the sandwich talk. I was down south and BBQ spots always confuse me with their menu. For example, “bbq” listed without a size or a price. “BBQ chicken combo”, is that BBQ pork and BBQ chicken? Is that BBQ chicken with a side and a drink? What I’ve learned is to just show up and ask what they’re making, it’s always good. On this one menu I saw “fried half chicken” and had no idea what to expect. It was basically one of each piece, fried separately. I specify because I wasn’t sure if I was getting half a chicken fried as one piece, at a different BBQ spot I got a whole wing still attached to the breast. Anyway, it was some of the best fried chicken this Yankee has ever had and it was at a tourist trap truck stop, they must just do it better down there.
Been a big week for fried chicken. When back up north, I decided to check out this new-ish chain popping up called Asad’s. Supposedly bringing the south’s hot chicken to Philadelphia. They give you a giant chicken strip on a thick piece of white bread and let you figure out how to eat it. It was delicious and rivaled what I once had when I was in Nashville, I will certainly be returning to try their hottest spice level to see if it kills me.

The EAGLES are in the BIG GAME this weekend, the Super Bowl! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Also, the Eagles are the greatest team in NFL history. I’m writing this before the game. I plan to park my car in the city under the highway where there’s this bangin’ bagel spot. Below is the sandwich I got last weekend, when I parked there for the concert. This is one of my regular Philly parking spots.
I really hope the Eagles win. Last time when they lost to the Chiefs the walk back to my car was so sad, you would never have guessed that people were waiting to go on a victory riot the city streets were so quiet. I hope I get another bagel sandwich too.

PAX Unplugged was this weekend, mentally I’m still digesting. All the dice rolling and sushi conveyor belts have my head spinning. Recorded some b-roll for the new Bucky video, which also features a little cartoon. There will be more behind the scenes soon.

I just want to remind myself in the future that I really like making these little collages. Sometimes it’s work to throw together but it’s rewarding to have work to do that engages a little artistic energy.

Fantastic Four #34 - this was marked down for having a missing page, but as far as I can tell, it isn’t? What a steal!

Over the weekend was one of the local comic shows, they were just givin’ out Seinfeld DVD box sets like they were goin’ out of style. The bootleg Godzilla movies, however, were five dollars.
