Friday Fun: Free Comics, Cinco De Mayo, and More!

After all the drama we’ve been having on the N-Judah (and MUNI in general) I thought it might be time to lighten the mood a little bit and highlight a few random events and things this weekend.
Aside from the alcohol-fest that is “Cinco De Mayo” (which you can safely engage in if you ride MUNI this weekend), it’s also Free Comic Book Day at participating retailers around town. You can use this handy locator to find the retailer nearest you — I’ll be heading to Amazing Fantasy on Irving and 8th, and my all-time favorite, Comix Experience on Divisadero, both easily accessible by the N-Judah.
On an unrelated note, I’m curious to know what (if any) social networking sites readers use. I am considering some changes to the site as we approach the anniversary, and would like to hear if any of you use Upcoming, Flickr, the much-dreaded MySpace, VOX.com, Ning, Consumating.com (a site I recently ditched) or any others. There are some new things I’d like to try out here, but I want to get a sense of what would be of use and what would not. Post your responses in the comment section below!
This weekend should have some nice weather, so get outside, take some pictures, ride the N-line and hope that it works for a change this weekend…if I take any interesting photos, I’ll be posting them to my Flickr site this weekend!
PS: Feel free to continue posting CC’s of complaint letters to our Save the N-Judah entry this weekend too!
