You will break your arm during a fight with Jucynog Duthor in a bar on Pingos. While Jucynog’s effort to hurt you may seem overzealous, you will say some horrible things about her mother.
Normally, you would be given instructions on how to avoid this altercation, but seeing as how, years from now, you and Jucynog will be the best of friends because of this fight, try to consider the big picture as she snaps your forarm like a twig.

I sit down with genius internet filmmakers Brant and Ian Duncan, creators of such instant classics "Overdrift," "Assassinz," "The Crystal Tape," and "The Remarkable Journey of Higgins Von Higgins."
We talk about how their movie about drift-racing and dinosaurs came to be, the perils and bonuses of working in a short-film format, and the beauty of putting your entire first act into one sentence.

There’s blood up to the windows. It must have seemed like a good idea at the time, to stack the bodies in the Mercer Building, to get ‘em off the Rail. But I can’t help wondering if the allusion to gore behind those art-deco panes is worse the actual carnage. At least they’re off the Rail. At least there’s that.

I say it's high time we had somemore mash-ups around this place.
After all, listening to more than one song at once can be considered multitasking. “Together As One? was mashed-up by DJ Earworm. You can find it and other mash-ups at djearworm.com “Standing In The Way Of Contact? was mashed-up by A plus D. You can download it and other mash-ups at aplusd.net “Burn Your Radio? was mashed-up by Instamatic. You can download it and other mash-ups at www.mutantpop.net The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net.

“The readiness is all,? says Hamlet, but is it really? How do we know we’re ready, really? The catch is, the only way to know you’re ready is to throw yourself out there, and see if you are.
I didn’t feel I was ready, this weekend. I wasn’t ready to pitch a comic, and certainly not at a convention as nuts as New York Comic Con. I didn’t feel like what I had to show was “good enough.? But, as listeners of this show know, “Crap is published all the time.? Or, as Molly Crabapple, founder of Dr. Sketchy’s put it: “There’s no way to know if something is publishable, until it’s published.? This episode featured “Shrink Proof? by Wicked boy.

On the road and more than a little delirious, I decide to compare and contrast the differences between the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention and New York Comic Convention.
Both are celebrations of commercial art and the commercial artist, but one seems to be, well, cooler than the other. And not just because tattoos hurt more. As for details about what I was doing while at NYCC, you'll have to wait for next episode.. The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net

While at the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention I was lucky enough to get to speak with some suspension artists from around the country about suspension, why they do it, and what they get out of it.

The denizens of Weyaw, home of the intergalactic fast-food franchise Squishburger, will invite you to dine upon their famous food, the Squishburger. Be prepared to tell them it tastes exactly the same as the many times you’ve had it through out the galaxy, as consistence is something they strive for.
Resist the tempation, however, to tell them that their “consistant taste? is one of cardboard drenched in sewage.

It’s an UltraCreatives “two-fer? today: You’re getting TWO
interview episodes for the price of one! Today’s first episode is with Jared Axelrod,
a podcaster, writer, actor, director, puppetmaker, costume maker —
there’s very little this man can’t do, which is why it was a thrill
having him on the podcast.
In the podcasting community, Jared is best-known for his “Stories from Free Planet X? podcast. J.C. Hutchins and Jared speak at length about that and his other creative endeavors. It’s a hoot, and you’ll learn a lot about the life of a multi-faceted artist. There’s tons of news for listeners to learn about, including coverage in The Washington Post and the groundbreaking “audience participation? invitation for all 7th Son listeners for the 7th Son: OBSIDIAN short story anthology … but there’s no time to do it in this episode. Expect an informal “Beta Clone Army Update? episode in a day or two. Find Jared Axelrod on the World-Wide-Everywhere: Promos:
