Month: April 2006

Nifty steampunkish graphic novel coming out in May:

True story: in 1899, Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla decided to end war forever. With Twain’s connections and Tesla’s inventions, they went into business, selling world peace.

So what happened?

Only now can the tale be told– in which Twain and Tesla collided with Edison and Morgan, an evil science cabal merging the Black Arts and the Industrial Age. Turn of the century New York City sets the stage for a titanic battle over the very fate of the mankind.

Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla versus Thomas Edison and J.P Morgan. Heh. Sign me up.

It’ll be in bookstores and comic shops, or you can pre-order it from Amazon.

For those who like to browse, here’s a 22 page B&W preview PDF (cover and such in color, interiors in b&w — which will be color in the final).

It’s still just a bit over two months away, but I’ve started thinking about what I might want to do for my birthday.

June 13th is a Tuesday, so that’s right out….but I’m thinking of having a party of some kind on Saturday the 10th. So pencil it in.

Any suggestions? Doing something social with friends is about as far as I’ve gotten.

Well, after not hearing anything at all from half of the stage show for two days now, an “executive decision” has been made.

and I will be auditioning for the cast.

I just got off the phone with the E.D., who said that we was excited that we’ll be auditioning.

I’m actually kinda looking forward to it — I love performing, and the scenario this year has potential (damn sight better than last year’s “Gypsies Gone Wild”). I have a few roles that I’m interested in, and I’ll shoot for those. If I don’t get any of them, there’s always Chess Match.

Plus, this plan has the added benefit of getting me out of the house on a regular basis for rehearsals.

I loved doing a stage show, but it apparently wasn’t to be. At least not this year….maybe I’ll put something new together for 2007.
