We begin our second Game of Thrones of the season with another installment of My How You’ve Grown, this time starring wee Brandon Stark, dancing through his dreams looking like he’s ready for freshman year at NYU. Even in his hallucinatory prophesy dreams he’s crap at archery, but at least he can walk and pal […]
Beware the Ides of March. I’m not really going to inflict a Roman history lesson or a deconstruction of violence in politics on y’all right now. I’m not even going to make any Shakespeare allusions. I’m just going to share a couple memes I think are funny. It’s a sunny day and I’m going hiking. […]
Last night, I finished reading Tucker Max’s most recent book Hilarity Ensues. I also read his Assholes Finish First, but I didn’t bother reviewing it here at the time. Nor did I mention the fast-forwardable movie based on his first book. I am on record for thinking Tucker Max’s first book I Hope They Serve […]
Nancy A. Collins is probably the most influential living author of vampire novels. I was a big fan of her work before I founded Blue Blood and she was kind enough to sell me multiple short stories, when I was just starting out. If you’ve ever played any game from White Wolf, her work had […]
Back when Spin was new and fresh and a little punk rock, Legs McNeil wrote rock journalism for it which was so good it convinced me I should totally do rock journalism when I grew up. (Hmm, maybe I should hold this against him.) At any rate, Legs McNeil is going to be doing readings […]
Today, Slashdot asked the question: Ask Slashdot: What’s the Most Depressing Sci-fi You’ve Ever Read? For me, it was The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. Ray Bradbury brilliantly presented how the banality of evil could be exhibited wherever mankind ended up. The minor mundane awfulness of humans, even in what should have been fascinating circumstances, […]
Murder at a con. Who hasn’t been there? The specific convention setting here is GenCon. As that part of the world is outside my usual geographic orbit, I’ve only done GenCon once, years ago with White Wolf. I was going to tell an anecdote about this, but, come to think of it, I think I […]
I posted this update about editing the film to our California Deathrock book Kickstarter pages and I wanted to share it here too. I eventually did find the needed art pencils. They were in a pencil drawer, along with an inexplicable neurological pinwheel. Forrest and I are getting ready to start going through contact sheets […]
The Kickstarter Forrest Black and I are doing for our California Deathrock book is happily now 111% funded. This means the project is definitely going to be completed. If we break $2,200 then we will be able to make the book hardcover and a teeny bit longer. It is looking pretty good for hitting that […]
It was hard to make this video happen because working on it was giving me the hugest spasm of shyness. Fortunately, Forrest Black and I still managed to bust it out. So now you can see behind-the-scenes footage of what our nightlife portraiture shoots look like, as part of the Kickstarter for our California Deathrock […]
