TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3314:

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 service, and the online comic book shop / social media promotions, long enough to take in a Holidays Excursion to Las Vegas / Kingman areas, as I blogged about yesterday in Blog #3313.

The photos at the top and the top right are just a few of the 1810 pics taken with our new camera from Christmas, but No... I'm not going to bore you with family vacation photos in this blog post.  Well, just 9 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, plus one more named 'Comic Oasis', and another one that is brand new in Kingman, Arizona!

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

But more on that in the days / weeks to follow!

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