DC Show Update

Sorry for the relative silence around here the last few days... I've been falling into some old, bad habits which have distracted me from my duties around here.

No, not these types of bad habits. Or this type of bad habit (gives "beer bong" a whole new meaning). Or even this one.

Nope, I'm talking about civil litigation, the habit that robbed me of 8 years of my life (specifically, September 13, 1999 to April 20, 2007, but who's counting?). I've been doing some pro bono (so far) work for a family member, and it's been taking up all of my time.

But I won't let that keep me from bringing you my weekly DC Show Update. Because, of course, I care about you.

As always, my picks are in bold, and new updates throughout the week will be in italics.
