Hey Seek, 

Y'know, I realized there is one thing that you can do for me. If you joined my group: link Group numbers don't mean much of anything but it is a nice reflection of souls you've interacted with in the travels of one individual on the web. 

Well, let's start with what I recommended in comic shops.

When I was growing up, Comic shops resembled gangs of NY in the Warriors. You didn't cross the lines in your support. While so much has changed in NYC, you get to experience the feel of all of these stores that are literally maybe 1 mile away or a 15 minute subway ride from each other. 

and AGAIN, in this town...NYC is the Constantinople of the USA. That being when the Roman Empire was in decline, the East never missed a beat. Recession? Dunno about that. Rent and property continues to sky rocket. Print is dying? Dunno anything about that. Comic book stores struggling? Don't know anything about that. 

That's why I was shocked I had to take a bus outside of the downtown area of Austin to reach the famed Austin Books...and still can't believe you can't do online ordering on their site because that's a big part of how the NY stores make their money and pay rent. 

Also since you are doing touristy things like Book of Mormon, might I suggest going to the High Line Park. Look it up, it's one spot that doesn't disappoint. 

The best art museum in NYC is PS 1 in Jackson heights, Queens. PS=Public school and literally, they built an international museum of contemporary art out of a public school.

The other museum that is quite interesting is, Cooper-Hewitt Design museum...The Frick, Neuve gallerie, and Folk art museum are fantastic and more comprehensive breakdowns of genres as opposed to the MET which is the amusement park of museums. 

Never liked he Guggenheim but that's just me.

Since you seem to like off the beat museums, I would go to the Gagosian gallery. Since there are too many to type, I would go up and down 19th street to the 24th street between 10th and 11th ave. Along that area, there are a lot of marked and unmarked galleries. One building I think has 18 galleries within a building. Name escapes me, since I became a family man I don't have as much free time. Anyways, Chelsea is one area.

The other spot is the Drawing Center in Soho. 

As for comedy Clubs, Carolines is one where second tier comics work. 

Back to comic book stores, they are territorial in NYC, so I would compare Midtown comics (there are three branches in Manhattan) with Forbidden Planet (Union Square) with St. Marks (East Village), and Jim Handley's Universe. The crowd is different as well as the feel of the stores. 

No problem there. In fact, I should have just used that, I've been trying to find it in the podcast tabs. And yeah, my encyclopedia LEOG stops somewhere around Volume... I'd say 3, but it's been a while since I had to use it, and I think my brain purged all that so I can do the Geeks@College archiving (No, that isn't a shameless plug... well, it's not an intended shameless plug)

Hey, Seeker, you're the guy who has encyclopedic knowledge of LEOG. What episode is the Jared Pateleki story? I wanna relisten to that real bad. 

Also, I know it's recent, but for some reason I can't find the episode where they talk Cabin in the Woods/Avengers, so if you know which one that is, you'll be doing me a big favor. Thanks!
