Pimp Your Stuff Thursday

[filkertom]

• This weekend, I'll be at ConText in Columbus, OH. Lotsa guests this year. billroper is the Filk GOH, and we should have a grand time and at least one Skyline Chili run.
• There's a contest that numerous people have told me about, to write a NASA wake-up song. I wonder what they have in mind....
• We're nine pages into Duel In The Somme, a 24-page online comic adaptation of a Ben Bova short story, scripted by Rob Balder and drawn by Bill Holbrook.
• Definitely don't forget Gutters and Looking For Group.
• Dunno how long it's gonna be free, but if you've got an iPhone or iPod, you might want to check out Harry Potter: Spells, a magical dueling game where you make wand movements with your hand, and the motion trackers in the iPhone translate it into game zaps.

Ready... Set... Pimp Your Stuff!

Slept in a bed ain't got no gravity
Every morning you gotta wake down

Every morning you gotta wake down

Livin' in a can way up there in the sky

(I was tempted to make the line about a toilet with no gravity, but I'll leave that for someone else.)

> NASA wake-up song....
Rocket Ride by Tom Smith would do just dandy.

[terriwells.livejournal.com]

Let me add my two cents to that. Let them wake up to Rocket Ride...please!

Well, I do my shoutcast streaming audio show on Friday and Saturday nights. Folks can always stop by my journal then for announcements of when the show is on and links to How To information. It sure would be nice to have some of you folks give a listen!

- "WHAT A RIPOFF! VOLUME 2" album for sale at Luke Ski dot com!
"What A Ripoff! Volume 2" continues in the tradition of Volume 1, wherein Luke attempts to get his hands on more money from his fans so he can pay off the cost of his wedding. This album is made up of tracks Luke Ski has produced over the past few years that did not end up on either "Target: Audience" or "Too Much Stuff", some of which have never been heard anywhere before. It also has cover versions and parodies of Luke Ski tracks by Tom Smith, Steve Goodie, Devo Spice, as well as cameos by Carrie Dahlby, Worm Quartet, Insane Ian, Soggy Potato Chips, and many other FuMPers (see "Explained Outtakes Part 2"). There's also a couple of spoken word tracks, including the infamous original version of "True Tales Of Ignorance From The Caricature Stand".

- TOUR DATES:
ARCHON 34
http://www.archonstl.org/34
St. Louis, MO - Westport Plaza
October 1st thru 3rd, 2010
Yes, the weekend following my wedding, I'll be returning to Archon, one of my favorite conventions of the year. I'll be doing a concert on Sunday afternoon per usual. Once I know the exact time and place, I'll let you all know.

[shaharazad.livejournal.com]

Looking ahead to September, my next convention appearance will be at MICE (Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo) (http://www.masscomics.com/). This is their first show, and it has the backing of a really great group in Boston Comics Roundtable. It will be held September 25 at the Art Institute of Boston.

I'll be there representing my small press comic imprint, Dandelion Studios (http://www.dandelionstudios.com).

If you're in Boston, I hope you'll try to stop by. This is a show totally dedicated to indy creators and you'll find some amazing creations at MICE that you won't find anywhere else.

Unfortunately, tables are sold out at this point, although the website has a link to get on a waiting list.

Here's a video I made of Tom at Pi Con last weekend!

[neverbugtama.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you mentioned this! I've never been to ConText before and am definatly going to have to check it out! Huzzah! Unexpected goodness!

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Hee. If you're in Columbus proper, it's literally just north of the Loop, just east of High Street. Get off at the exit for US23 North, take the first right, and then the first right.

Two this week

For those in the Indianapolis area, Perfect Balance Massage is having a special during the week of the 30th (Aug 30th - Sept 3rd). If you refer a client to them you get a free massage! You can send them up to three people and get free massage for each one. Call them at (317) 213-6751 to set up an appointment. Their address and directions to their clinic may be found at the Perfect Balance Massage (http://www.perfectbalancemt.com) website.

Also, I am a seamstress looking for work so that I might save up money for a new car. My previous one ate itself and I require a new (to me, anyway) one in order to get a job and more easily facilitate my getting back and forth to school. I make custom corsets, capes, skirts, dresses, cloaks, shirts, or just about anything else you might want. I am more than willing to work from custom designs (your own or one you have the rights to use, please) or commercial patterns. You supply the materials, I supply the labor, you get a nifty something, and I get that much closer to obtaining a vehicle. If you are interested, please send me a private message here on LJ or email me at robin_firesong (at) yahoo (dot) com for more information.

Hey! I actually have something to pimp! :-)

I finished the first of a three part story in the Torn World universe:

"Asleep"

Now I just need to write the second and third parts in-between my Cisco training...
