Sadness. Actor Michael Gough, best known for portraying the Celestial Toymaker in the William Hartnell era of Doctor Who and Alfred Pennyworth, the butler of Batman in the Keaton/Kilmer/Clooney films, has passed away at the age of 94.

Pimp Your Stuff Thursday

Lotsa stuff this week:

• Once again, I extend my deepest thanks and a bunch of virtual hugs to all of you who helped me out last week. I'm going to keep the download folder open until Monday night, methinks. I've got a couple of new things in there now, including a recording obtained by hms42 specifically as a thank-you for everybody: the first time I did "307 Ale", at OVFF back in 1989. Lyrics and melody have evolved over the years, but the most fun is hearing an audience that didn't know the joke was coming.
• This weekend is MillenniCon in the north part of Cincinnati, OH. I didn't go last year because of another commitment, but this is in a lot of ways my home con. Wonderful, small, relaxing, fun. And, hey! Robert J. Sawyer is the Author GOH. I will be recording my concerts (three total -- one for the ConText room party on Friday ay 10:00 p.m., the main one at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, and halftime at the Masquerade), and putting them up in the donations folder on Sunday night. So, if you've still got the URL, it ain't over yet.
• Saturday, May 7, is Free Comic Book Day. I'll be spending it at Comic City on Ford Road in Canton, MI, along with Odd from Mad World Radio. Here's a flyer and more info.
• My dear friend markbernstein is performing this weekend and next in Neil Simon's "Laughter On The 23rd Floor". Click here for ticket info.
• Maureen O'Danu, a friend of this site, has a couple of nifty blogs, Walking Upstream and Am I The Only One Dancing?
• For computer musicians, the excellent Spicy Guitar VSTi is now freeware.
• In a similar vein, the award-winning Melodyne Editor can now be tried for thirty days with no restrictions.

Ready... set... Pimp Your Stuff!
