Dread Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Another publication! And this is the first I've ever been paid for. I wonder if this means I am more legitimate as an artist. Probably not. How'd I miss that? I read it. Incredible. My favorite yet, Niki. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I fucking love spring break. Also, I fucking love getting $165 worth of comics for $35 thanks to pricing glitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I get a week for break. I'm spending it at work with one day set aside for going to a local gaming convention. On the bright side, I'll have a good amount of money for Chicago so it'll be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Logan Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 So the new job? Looking like I'm going to be managing a store...and probably not moving all that far (which means no packing up the family). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Right on, man. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Watching Devin Townsend live was amazing. Well, outside of all the feedback. There were audio problems for a big chunk of the show. I eventually moved farther away from the stage because my head was pounding. They played for about two hours, so it was definitely worth it. During the last song Devin actually got off the stage and played through the crowd. Since they were flying out at 4:30 this morning, Devin said he stay back for a bit to sign stuff for the fans. I would have stayed back, but I was exhausted. Maybe next time I’ll ask if he remembers a certain Desmond from Vancouver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I was one of the winners of IDW's Twitter contest. Not sure exactly what I'll receive, but it's cool nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I've entered a contest for writing a 67 word or less short story to win the Best of Joe R. Lansdale (I have a lot of the limited stuff but I don't like reading it too much to ruin the value). I've written four thus far. I may self-publish a chapbook of a bunch of them when all's said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may self-publish a chapbook of a bunch of them when all's said and done. Good luck. Micro-fiction is possibly the hardest fiction to write because you somehow have to tell an entire story in about two to four sentences. It's hard enough condensing one's thoughts down that low, let alone telling a good story. Best of luck on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George W. Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I've been promoted! I've gone from back up night cashier at a 24-hour grocery store to back up night grocery manager. I'm in a position of authority. Two nights a week I'll be in charge of the store. Fuck me, we're doomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 No, I mean I wasn't even trying. One minute, I'm talking to this girl in the comic book shop, not even ten minutes later, I'm watching her leave with her number in my hand.

KnightWing Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Give us the play-by-play. What exactly did you/she say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 She was there, thinking about buying the Wonder Woman DVD. Store owner is telling her it's good, then he looks to me for support. I nod in agreement and go "yeah, it's fun". She asks a few questions, I answer them (plugged the review we did on The Show in the process) then go back to looking at the racks, thinking nothing more of it. A minute or so later, she just walks up and starts asking me what books I read. We get to talking about comics for a bit. At no point am I hitting on her or trying to make a move. She laughs at my jokes. Eventually she makes like she needs to leave, so I just say "nice talking to you, enjoy your movie". She says something about needing someone to watch it with and before I know it, we've made a date. Like I said, I have no clue what I did.

KnightWing Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I have no clue what I did. I think it's called "her liking you." Good job there just being yourself, man. And hey, WW is a great date movie for comics nerds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 The "be yourself" method never worked for me before. I'm going to assume she's an axe murderer until proven otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
