Happy birthday!

Lets giveaway another set of soapy brass knuckles in his name!

Same deal as before, just get your one post in and on friday i'll punch you into the random name generator 2000 and see what happens. Fallensoul289 won last time.

You can be whatever level you want this time.

**** THE WINNER OF THE SECOND SET OF SOAP KNUCKLES IS Paperbat

CONTEST OVER. Winner was/is fallensoul289

for thefogerty! (no not for me)

***I REPEAT, IM NOT LOOKING FOR A TEAM FOR MYSELF***

thefogerty is looking for a programmer and I was intruiged by his little demo on his userpage and he needs someone to digest it with some akshinskript 3.0 (or 2.0!).

I've had a few people asking me if i know of someone who would code their idea and im tryin to hook people up the best I can. It DOES help if you have atleast a general idea of what you want to do though. There are some people that are looking to be on a team just for the sake of being on a team.

The idea of this project isnt to just find a team and make it on that ugly roster page. You actually gotta do shit, like make a flash game

==================

Secondly, I figured I'd plug some newgrounds-related events that are coming up this summer. It may be your chance to mingle with other NG folks in the flesh, or at the very least buy me a beer.
I would list all the newgrounds events but I'm not going to all of them and this is my userpage so its all about me. Oh speaking of being selfish, ill be giving away a new prize on my next fp post. It wont be a money bag, but itll be something equally silly hopefully.

Theres some other events coming up in the fall, but i'll plug those later in the summerrrr. I think theres events in Denver, Iceland and Atlanta.

*PS this is from australia meet.

Well, I redesigned my website, cause everyone else was doing it. I hadnt updated my site since October so it was much needed. I simplified the whole thing so its just a big feed of things. I got tired of commenting systems and all that shit. I dont think people visit personal websites to hang out anyway, they just want to know if you've done something new and what else of interest you may have done. My site does that, and only that.

++++ The winner of the Money Bag was DanMasterFlash ++++

So 2 weeks ago we had a competition of who could make the best lookin edible Pink Castle crasher. Today is the day we announced the winners so check them out HERE.

Alternatively you can also view/comment on em via the discussion thread @ general forum

Huge THANK YOU to everyone who made something, kind of a new type of contest and we werent sure how successful/unsuccessful it would be. I mean asking NG forum users to trade their spam gloves for kitchen mitts. Anyway needless to say it was awesome and we'll have to do more of those kinds of things in the future. Whether you won or not I hope you had fun with it and enjoyed eating whatever you made.

CIAO.

You may have seen Tom's post on creative folks... he mentioned someone who created a tray of castle crashers sushi

Well as is always the case, they left out the pink one. So this is where you come in:

All you need to do is create an edible pink castle crasher. It could be the whole body, it could just be the head like the example below. It could be made of sushi, it could be candy, baked, whatever you want. The point is you have to be able to eat it.

Once you finish, you snap a picture and post it in this thread. The most creative one(s) will get a Pink Castle Crasher as seen below. I gave a few away a few months ago and they are kinda rare because theres only like 12 or so floating around.

So if you're the only one who ends up making something then you are an easy winnar.
Go put on your apron, gogogogo

Deadline is Sunday April 26th

Okay, so its 1am and I've finally finished reading and mulling over the e-mails I got.
I managed to pull together a list of people who made it in.

You can see it here:

SBT 09: Roster

==================

If you didnt get in, then obviously I hope you dont take it personally. I have to make a cut off somewhere. I will write you an e-mail so it doesnt seem totally heartless but yea.
Each year the tour rises a bit on people we let in so its not like I purposely enjoy shutting people out.
Sorry :(

==================

If you DID get in, you should have gotten instructions. If you see your name on that roster and you DIDNT get an e-mail. Send me a PM

Shake the World is TODAY, so go and do something creative with your one minute of fame, its only hours away depending on your time zone.

Check the link for more inf. I think ill actually be at a wedding while its happening in my time zone so it might be more interesting than i originally thought it would be.

====================

In other news, I'll be in australia next week getting my newgroundz on with a bunch of people.

If youre in that part of the world and want to say hai, or buy me a drink then show up.

===================

in other other news, im in a good mood, lets give away a shirt dollar today! Just junk comment like you all usually do. I'll random pick a user comment and you'll win a whole buck. Yes a token of our sagging economy

Also heresss a Retro game done in flash. I found it mildly entertaining and you will too!

===================

Lastly, I submitted somethin today!

Firstly, the deadline to be in the pool of artists for the 2009 sketchbook tour is next week so if you have any interest to be part of that, browse through the thread or past userpage posts and see what you gotta do.

==============

In other news, I was over at the NG office and we wrapped up the Teddy Troopers Contest, it actually started last year and I fell behind and bla bla, the point is; its done and we had some awesome things.
You can BROWSE PHOTOS HERE

==============

The last piece of news is that I'll be in Australia in about 10 or so days, we'll try and have a newgrounds based meet up over there, for further details you can goto Rubber Ninja's userpage.

CIAO.

Okay, the REAL reason I made a post is to tell you that the NG Sketchbook Tour 09 deadline is April 12th. If you have any intention at all to be part of that, all you have to do is send an e-mail before the deadline to: Sketchbooktour@newgrounds.com OR NGsketchbook@gmail.com.

Please do not send PSD's, drawings or anything. All you need to do is write an e-mail saying you want to be in the pool of artists to participate. There is space for 200 artists this year so it shouldnt be as cut throat as next year, then again theres already like 180 people who've sent e-mails. Either way, you have nothing to lose but an email i guess!

===============

THE WINNER OF THIS PRIZE WAS SuperDeagle. Claim your prize by PMing me.

*DISCLAIMER: you're only winning the canvas bag, not the actual photoshopped money. You can fill it up with whatever you want thats your of problem! This aint no govt bail-out
