Okay not really. But I was due for a fp post, Comic Con is waaaay over now. Anyway theres a few things going on.
First and foremost is that Sketchbook Tour 2008 entry turn-in phase, ends on August 24th.. if you have yet to get around to visiting your postal office.. now would be a good time if you are part of that project. That goes especially for international users. It takes roughly two weeks in some instances for it to make it to my hands. Plan Accordingly
I made some headway on getting the online version started while entries trickle back in. The neat thing about this year is that the shirts will be synced to the NG Store so if you so desire you can just get them through the new and improved store once they become available (and the new store is available for that matter). My guess is there will be a relatively low count of shirts that become available on the first run. I do this mainly cause the sketchbook tour itself is of limited scope and i dont want a ton of shirts sitting in my basement. Specially ones i cant fit into -________-
Speaking of which, I want to clear out the shirts from 2007, if you want one PM me, I'm going to get them out at $10.00 which I'll absorb the shipping on... so in some cases what youre paying me might cover the shipping. Its not really for profit anyway, i just want them out. I'm sure you've seen Tom and a few people wear em on a whole bunch of occasions. They are kinda rare and once these are gone they are gone foreverrrrrerererrr. Wether you participated or not I think is moot at this point, if you want to represent the community spirit of NG or you just want an NG-based shirt that not everyone already has then knock yourself out. I only have like 6 left so PM me with what size you need and I'll tell you if i have it.
That asside (yes i know i mispelled it), I wanted to also use this to plug two NG based events going on at different parts of the globe coincidentally on the same dates (thanks Tom for bumping heads with me)
You got Penny Arcade Expo going on August 29-31st in Seattle, Washington. Tom and his goons will be unveiling the MUCH anticipated (3 years anticipated) Castle Crashers XBox Live Game.
It's been a special journey watching that game come together at all sorts of NG-based gatherings that ive had a chance to attend to and I can confidently say that game is spectacular and has come a long way.
SIMULTANEOUSLY on the other side of the globe, I'm taking the NG caravan to the UK for the 3rd annual NG London Meet 3. Thats going August 30th, for more info click that link. This has grown to become one of the largest non-convention gatherings and I always look forward to it and in fact this year was a rare time when it happend two times on the same calendar year. (the first one was just my birthday party)
I assume Tom will have the stickam going for PAX, and i'll try and get another going for London meet so youll be able to experience third hand, two very different NG based events going on at the same time.
Lastly, I was going to bring back Pass My Flash this week, but its been too much shit going on and I may be wearing myself thin on this multitasking bullshit so for the sake of getting some sort of control back in my life, I'm going to just wait until September on that.
No Artist-of-theMonth this month either, again I'm in super busy mode doing a bunch of other shit and i'll have to make up for my routine tasks next month I promass.
for the sake of showing what the sbt 07 shirts looked like heres a pic of Fulp wearing one.
