Make New Friends, Join a Cult!

sfcultsmain.jpgAre you lonely? Wondering what to do with that tax return? Do you miss the sense of belonging you once felt as a raver, on the college lacrosse team, or while serving jury duty? Try joining a cult! Cults can serve a variety of functions like creating tight knit communities, justifying polyamory, or ushering followers comfortably into the afterlife.

The fact that San Francisco is second only to Austin in per capita dorkiness (Source: 2000 US Census), is probably unrelated to it being such a hotbed for all things comic-related. Oh, you didn't know? See, San Francisco was the birthplace of underground comics, has some of the best comic book stores in the country, and is home to some genuine comic celebs like Adrian Tomine. We even have a Cartoon Art Museum for chrissake. So if you're a fanboy, newbie, or anything in between, it's mandatory that you get to know and love the places on this list. Assuming you're not already a regular, that is.
