SPRING GREEN

Glorious stuff spring green.  I’m really enjoying seeing the leaves grow, see the grasses go from their winter greys, and see the sun out for a little while.  Pretty soon we will have May Grey and June Gloom with us, but right now there is a burp in the weather and we have sunshine.

The Federal Building, in the photo above, isn’t the Sports museum any more.  “Hall of Champions” they called themselves.  Captain Poolie, Director of the museum across the plaza, called it an event location.  What a shame.  But now we have something else moving in…Comic Con.

Wikipedia tells us, “It was founded as the Golden State Comic Book Convention in 1970 by a group of San Diegans that included Shel Dorf, Richard Alf, Ken Krueger, and Mike Towry;^[4][5][6][7] later, it was called the “San Diego Comic Book Convention”. It is a four-day event (Thursday–Sunday) held during the summer (in July since 2003) at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego.”  It is now so much more than comic books shown in the dark basement of the US Grant Hotel.

Comic Con has renewed their lease on the Convention Center with the city of San Diego.  Why not also have a location to showcase the arts in the city where they began.  They say they also plan to have Panels throughout the year.  I would hope they hire a real museum director that knows to rotate shows.  I’m looking forward to seeing what they do in the fresh Spring green of Balboa Park.
