When I first met Bryant Griffin, it was in the newsroom at a Tampa Tribune bureau office. I was the editor of one of the Tribune's weekly community papers, and Bryant was a page designer who was very quiet, and unhappy about the fact our newsroom used PCs instead of Macs.

You can't be an entertainment news outlet of any sort without planning a (very expensive) trip to San Diego Comic-Con each July.

It's real late on a Thursday night, and I'm just plain exhausted. I spent the first part of the week putting together an Alpha Waves Radio broadcast that hadn't even been regularly scheduled (but turned out to be an awesome interview with Deric A. Hughes and Benjamin Raab from "Warehouse 13"). I' ...
