Three Gatherings and a
Funeral Podcast
May 22, 2006
First off, a pimping: go give The Zombie Hunters
a look. It's a young webcomic, still in its infancy, which only means
it'll be easier to catch up on. The art's grand and I like what's there
so far. Hopefully you will, too.
I seriously don't remember a damn thing from this month.
Considering I spent it sober, that's a bad thing. Anyway, I have
a place to live and will be moving there soon. I will again have
roommates, one of whom is Josh - aka my ads manager - aka Jason from the
comic. This will be interesting, living in an apartment with a sword or
other weapon in almost every room (actually, a lot more than one per
room). Wheee!
So, yeah - Clarine Harp, the basis for Aubrey, will be in Boston for Anime Boston this week. I'm excited,
to say the least. Sadly, I can't make the con as this is the last
weekend for the show
I'm in (hint, hint). I'd asked Clarine if she was opposed to a
reader gathering on Thursday and she seemed okay with it. So, I'm
hoping to get the details for a reader gathering nailed down by late
tonight - someplace T accessable and NOT Diesel Cafe. I'm open to
ideas. This is a chance for a lot of you to meet Clarine (and I'm going
to try to bug Josh into coming - and maybe even Claire). I'll keep you
posted.
Sadly, my friend Diva (or as you know her, Dr. D. Iva) won't be able to make a Thursday
gathering as she's got work. She's also been trying to get me to go
watch her perform at Rocky Horror for a while - and it just so happens
she's performing this Saturday night. It's very likely I'll be going to
this performance - if I do, or end up attending her next performance, I
was thinking about making a reader outing of it... because, frankly,
misery demands company the more, the merrier! More on
that tomorrow-ish...
Also, it looks like I will soon be in Richmond, Virginia, to visit Rinny
and when this happens, we've also discussed doing a reader gathering
there. Again, dunno WHERE to hold this - but I get enough emails about
people upset that I only do reader gatherings in places they can't
reach, and there seems to be interest. Once I know when I'll be there,
I'll nail it down better. Again, suggestions are VERY welcome.
Oh, and on an upcoming episode of KeenCast, I'm a guest - along with
someone else "special." I will warn you, I was a lot more surly on this
little podcast than normal. Oh, I'm sure there will be complaints -
especially since my usual rule of "don't blow up about other
webcartoonists on S*P" only counts on this site, and not someone else's.
And when it comes to webcomics as a whole and "community," oh how I blow
up.
Okay - now I eat breakfast and draw ugly pictures for you. Wheeee!
