Picspam of DOOM: San Francisco and Azkatraz

There are two sections of photos that I'll post today.  You see, this trip to San Francisco was two-fold in purpose for me.  Of course, there was the Azkatraz/fandom/SQUEE! stuff, but also, this was my honeymoon.  The first two days, I spent touring San Francisco with my lovely wife, fiona_fawkes , and seeing the sights of San Francisco.  By the way, she's usually holding the camera... hence the shortage of pics of us together.  *sad*

So, the first half of this is me and Fi (mostly me, because she's the woman with the camera), being touristy and gooberish around San Francisco.  If this bores you, freely skip to the fandom part.  However, this IS my journal, so I do want to document what I did and saw for my own memory.  Fair?

Anyway...
( Me, Fi, and San Francisco! )

And the second part, of course... FANDOM!  OMG I love you guys so much.  If anyone wants me to take their picture down, or not use a screen name, please let me know.  Also, if anyone HAS PICS with me or my close friends (especially Fi), please share?  Anyway, on with the fandom fun!

( FANDOM PICS! )

It was a blast, guys.  I have some more pics on my laptop, but my laptop is currently at home, and I... am not.  :p

And yes, I still owe a post about Wicked.  :D



ETA:  I don't know what the hell is going on, but LJ  seems to be inserting tags to end LJ  cuts in the most insane places, for no apparent reason.  So if the cuts seem strange, please let me know, and I'll try AGAIN to go back and fix them.   I've already tried SEVEN times.

NOOOOOOO!!!! Just... NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Part of my worldview has just been shattered. 

I mean, it's not like I was unaware of this.  I saw the movie.  Four times.  Three times on IMAX.  I was intensely aware of the canon changes.  However... it never quite sank in... until fiona_fawkes  put it out there in simple, straightforward English.

Riverside, Iowa, the tiny town now fandom-famous for being the birthplace of James T. Kirk, can no longer claim that title.  Why?  Because canon has FUCKING CHANGED, GODDAMMIT, and Kirk was born in SPACE.  WHY?  For all that is good and holy in the world of sci-fi and Star Trek canon, WHY?

WHY???????

And what will become of Riverside, Iowa???
