Isotope Comics owner James Sime dropped us a note about a “Comic Nerd All-Star Game of Croquet” in San Francisco this past weekend. Taking the top spots were Matt Silady’s Homeless Channel team and Kirsten Baldock’s Smoke & Guns team.
“Last place finishers included Ian Brill and yours truly,” James said. “It’s no excuse for lousy croquet abilities, but I’m pretty certain we drank more champagne than those other teams.”
Other participants included our own Graeme McMillan and his wife Kate, Matt Silady’s wife Serena, Ash Aiwase, Annalee Newitz and Other Magazine’s Charlie Anders.
“Even though Kate and I were the movers and shakers in organizing the whole thing (in belated celebration of Kirsten’s birthday), my complete ineptitude for any organized sport managed to make sure that our asses were well and truly whupped by the deadly team of Matt and Serena. Truly, their skills go farther than just the creation of Homeless Channels,” Graeme said. “That said, we still did better than Ian Brill, so there’s that.”
