ComiCentric 133: Mary of the Solitude, and the raiders of long box (Part1)

We finally caught a white sasquatch! Let’s welcome to the Nostalgic shop studio our friend Marisol 1.0, a long-time friend and colleague. Some might know her as the face of ELACape when we used to do interviews for the show. She helped organize the event from behind the scenes. We met Marisol in a journalism class in college, and from the get-go she was more adult than most of us who were of correct college age. Because of her critical mind and ability to make a spread sheet like no other she was open to the world and the world was open for her. Marisol was a great companion on many of adventures from midnight rides to the printshop that ended with mornings at Dennys to ComiCons where the accommodations where not as hospitable. Since then, she has gone to traverse the world in search of answers but instead found loads of paperwork. Nevertheless, I believe her profession will lead to her holy grail. Bigfoot. Marisol has traversed many a land in search of the elusive enigma. But has found only awesome camping and even cooler breweries. An interview so long in the making we had to make it a two parts. Now Join us as we go back in time and begin to incriminate ourselves just a little bit.
