All Over the Place
Friday the crew and I got together and headed for the Rathole Theatre in Flora to watch "Bad News Bears" on the cheap. It was better than I thought it would be, and the first two acts are surprisingly funny. Sure, it's cheap humor, but it's cheap humor done well. After that we headed back to Fitch's and watched an Australian zombie movie called "Undead". It was a quirky little flick, with surprisingly good Special Effects, and a clever, unconventional story. The best praise I can give it is that it reminded me of one of Peter Jackson's early films. After that, we watched damn near every episode of "Wunder Showzen". I'm a bit conflicted on WS. Admittedly, it's the most daring work of commercialized counterculture I've seen since... hell, South Park first started, and it can be quite funny and shocking at times. But there's also a certain degree of tedium to the show, and it's possible I'm psychically chafing due to the fact that it's a blatant parody/assault on Sesame Street (I'm something of a Muppet fan).
Saturday, Boolah and I rolled on down to Evansville, IN. First stop, Kinko's where we printed up the mini-comic, flyers, and a six page preview of "Very Odd Jobs" (the preview packet will be free with all purchases). After an hour of manic printing, stacking, and trimming, we finished up and moved on to a costume shop called the Nick Nackery. There we bought a dozen glow in the dark hockey masks (more on those in a later post). Moved on to Hobby Lobby, loaded up on Art supplies, then went to Staples and got more convention survival supplies. After that we went to "March of the Penguins". Great frickin' movie. I thought I had it tough, but my life is easy compared to the Emperor Penguin. After that we scored some comics and ate a disappointing meal at Garfields (I drew a naked lady on the paper tablecloth with the complimentary crayons...), then rolled home.
Spent all day Sunday cleaning my house (yes, it was that cluttered). Occassionally took a time out to staple up my Mini-comic and my promotional packets. I finished up around eight o'clock, and spent the remainder of the night penciling sketches for the Con.
