TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3313:

Tina and I want to wish ALL of our Blog readers, Facebook Fan Page fans, Facebook Group Page members, and everyone else that reads this blog post...

A Very Happy New Year from Las Vegas!!

Tina and I have closed the book promotion services, and the online comic book shop / social media promotions, long enough to take in a Holidays Excursion to Las Vegas / Kingman areas.

The photos at the top right are just a few of the over 1450 pics taken with our new camera from Christmas, but No... I'm not going to bore you with family photos in this blog post.  Well, just 8 of them, as shown above, LOL!

We both thank all of YOU that have read this Blog during the past year, and look forward to sharing with you more pics from this trip, which include stopping at Local Comic Book Shops, like 'Velvet Underground' and 'Alternate Reality Comics' in Las Vegas, and another one that is brand new in Kingman, Arizona that we just visited last night!

Plus more pics and info from our trip including photos from the Andy Devine Collection in Kingman, Route 66 in Kingman, plus museums in Las Vegas that you wouldn't think would have a 'comics' connection!

But more on that Next Year!  Starting tomorrow!  WoW!

Again, Our Best Wishes to YOU for the Upcoming 2011 Year!

I'm posting this blog a 'little early' this last day of 2010, as we will be checking out more museums in Las Vegas today, and then be on 'The Strip' tonight, which closes down several hours before midnight to traffic.  Only pedestrians are allowed on 'The Strip', so we have to be back to our room before then in the early evening!
