    The boys (and their gals) hit up the Knights of Columbus Comic Con to start the year right. Big pickups were made (nothing on our 26 want list) so listen to find out hat treasures we found. After doing con we also took the ladies out for stuff to do like antiquing, checking out a record store, and getting hotpot. It was quite the day!
