Tiki Tour w/ Adam Beechen
Friday, March 2nd

Break out your finest Hawaiian shirts, by extremely popular demand, the Isotope is once again hosting the perfect event for out-of-towners looking to find the coolest spots to drink in SF... our world famous tour of San Francisco tiki bars!

Since the ancient days of yore, the great tiki gods above made blessed the beautiful city of San Francisco with such an over-abundance of watering holes of the tiki variety that it makes others weep with fruity cocktail and indoor rainfall envy. And so for half a decade the Isotope honors the great Island Lords by paying tribute upon the bar stools of the city's many tiki bars. Legend tells that those who can complete the tour are granted the wonderous gift of never-hangover. But no man or woman has ever managed to master the great tour of tiki. The brave still try...

Our featured guest superstar for this event is comic author Adam Beechen! Beechen is rocking the DCU recently with a smokingly good run on Robin, taking over Teen Titans, and he's one of the architects of the massively hyped and oh-so secret Countdown (http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=102192).

Mister Beechen swears to us us that he's not going to reveal the covert details only he and a few others know about DC's massive Countdown mini-series. But can he resist letting those classified secrets slip when the intoxicating power of the Tiki Tour begins flowing through his veins and clouding his judgement? We think not!

J.M. DeMatteis @ Isotope
Saturday, March 3rd

The Isotope couldn't be more proud to be flying in Mister DeMatteis especially for this event!

Last year's WonderCon celebrations here at the Isotope included the great Grant Morrison, and there is only one man in the entire comic industry who has made a similar career out of defying those same kind of high art/high pulp boundaries of typical comics classifications as Mister Morrison. And that's J.M. DeMatteis.

Author of seminal works that redefined what American comics were and are, Mister DeMatteis is one of the industry's only creators who effortlessly walks back and forth across the line between high art and high pulp comics. Among his hundreds of credits DeMatteis is the writer of Moonshadow, Justice League International, Blood: A Tale, Stardust Kid, Dr. Strange: Shamballa, Abadazad, and the incredible Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt.

We're thrilled to be celebrating this industry giant who was not only was doing Vertigo a full ten years before there even *was* a Vertigo, but was also writing the best Spider-Man comic of our lifetimes... at the same time!

For you hundreds of folks in from out of town who want to swing by the shop while you're here, either to attend our Saturday night bash or just to check out the digs, we're always happy to see you. And don't sweat the city driving, WonderCon is a mere 6 blocks from our front door. Click here for the map (http://www.isotopecomics.com/2007/02/most-wonderful-time-of-year.html)

The Isotope's huge WonderCon Weekend celebrations are co-sponsored by our pod-and-video-casting amigos at iFanboy (http://www.ifanboy.com). Slip on your sexiest gear, fix your hair, and try not to sleep with the staff... your wild weekend is about to be broadcast worldwide!

FWIW - I am on the frequent flyer list that gets the magic SSSS on my boarding tickets. After 24 this week, I guess my highlighters and mini recorder are contraband goods as well.

Bah - another SF event :(


Sometimes the California-centric attitude pisses me off. I suppose that they wouldn't want to plan events that they couldn't go to. But, all this partying out west makes me feel left out. Of course, realistically, I don't go to parties anymore where the celebrants don't wear little hats and beat a Pinata.
