Ssalefish GSO First Look #71 for 8.8.18

I had the pleasure today of having lunch with my old friend Joe Scott, proprietor of Geeksboro Battle Pub, formerly Geeksboro Coffee & Beverage Company, formerly Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema, now located across from Target at 2618 Lawndale Drive. Sampling the Lady Vengeance (tatter tots, teriyaki tri tip steak, sriracha), the pimento beer cheese with homemade pita chips, and the big ol' bacon wrapped meatball, and everything was spot on!

For lunch, dinner, brunch, or a nightcap, it will definitely be a new go to restaurant for me as well as continuing on as the beacon of the nerd culture community in the Gate City! We'll be installing a spinner rack to keep stocked with lots of first issues to keep you busy while you wait for your grub or beverage, and we'll be working with Joe and his new partner Steven on more comic-centric programming in the months to come.

Speaking of comic programming, I took some time last Saturday to beef up our events page here on the site with all of our likely convention appearances through the end of the year as well as our plans for Batman Day, 24 Hour Comics Day, and Halloween ComicFest!
