Hi Everyone!

I’m heading down to San Diego Comic-Con this month and that means getting to play my favorite road trip game: Marvel Music Mash-Ups! It’s not all actually Marvel songs, but you put on a random song playlist and try to decide who each song is about. For example:

Broken – lovelytheband – This is definitely Ash and Michael from Star Trek Discovery (Just be together you two!!!). The appeal to embrace your imperfections, the allusion to a family/community that’s all around you but somehow a little separate from you, it all works for me.

Anyway, feel free to tweet me your favorite mash-up. And once you get down there drop by and say ‘hi’ at one of my events below:
