I'm renewing my call from earlier this year for a manager. We need someone who can help us out in a number of ways, mostly in the areas of promotion and media. Basically, the dutes would be: to promote our shows in such a way as to maximize attendance, to contact media outlets and act as the band's media contact, to come to shows to make sure our sound balance is good, provide immediate...

Thanks for the link ebenbrooks High fructose corn syrup increases risk of hypertension up to 87% . It's also been linked statistically to the increase in obesity in Americans over the last 100 years.

Ah, DC comics. Your shameless marketing ploy has succeeded in sucking me in once again. I was about to discontinue picking up the "secondary" comics of Blackest Night focusing on particular heroes. (For example, "Blackest Night: Wonder Woman"; "Blackest Night: Blue Beetle" etc.,etc.). Then my local comics store owner told me that DC is handing out free plastic power rings from all of the eight Lantern...

Wow, I'm doing lots of reviews lately. How did I get so many going at once? Maybe it's the sheer volume of "Blackest Night" related comics coming out. It is kind of nice to be able to read developments in a big crossover story arc once a week instead of once a month...as long as they're good. Luckily, most of the ones I've read have been good so far. "Blackest Night" 4 takes the spotlight off of...

Recently, the COH MMORPG has come out with some new graphic enhancements for characters. ebenbrooks and I recently did some redesigns. Holey cow, our characters look cool now! I should explain that we both have lightning-themed characters. My tanker, Storm-Chaser, has electrical sparks running up and down his body that arc into his sunglasses. By playing with the color palette, I shifted...

Quoting my previous post, to spin off a discussion thread... The Con-Chord dead dog party last weekend generated a TERRIFIC discussion on convention marketing, recruitment and retention of filkers under 40. I hope that Rodney was taking notes, I think he was. Who wants to be a YouTube Star? Filk needs you. Try to find the word "filk" in YouTube? It's a hard pull. Please, friends who post convention...

Eben Brooks recently was mentioned in an article on the TV Tropes website. Read all about it here .

ebenbrooks found this: http://www.slideshare.net/danroam/healthcare-napkins-all It pointed out something I had thought, but couldn't quite vocalize: Why are we calling it "health care reform" when it's really insurance reform?

Since you two are involved (or are soon to be involved) in the only semi-regular (ha!) L5R campaign I'm running right now, I just wanted to let you know: I plan to continue with 3rd edition rules for the forseeable future, at the very least until Spring of next year. As excited as I am about the 4th Edition announcement, it is not likely to be out until 2nd or 3rd quarter of next year at the earliest...
