JoCo T-Shirt Contest
NOTE: I should have said this before, but the four awesome photos taken by Dale May are off limits for T-shirts – I didn’t pay for that. This includes labcoat me, leaning-floppy-disk me, sultry-on-the-bed-me, and sitting-at-the-desk-with-stuff me. And in general, please don’t use any source material that would be illegal for me to print and sell as a shirt.
I’ve been meaning to do this for some time but couldn’t quite figure out how I was going to handle the details – submissions, voting, etc. Then I hear about the launch of Pixish, where you can post image assignments, allow the community to vote, and offer prizes to the winners. Just the thing I needed. It’s in beta, so we’ll see how it goes, but I bet it’s going to be awesome.
The winner gets an 8 Gig iPod Nano, their choice of color, signed by me if they want, and loaded with my entire catalog. The top five get signed Thing a Week Boxes and downloads of the complete catalog. See other details on the contest page. I may or may not print the winning design (or designs), for instance if it turns out to be something embarrassing like a picture of me naked.
You have until March 2 to submit. Get cracking!
Lady A’s Muu Muu – Last Session I Think
[UPDATE: I’m calling that mostly done, should be able to release it by the end of this week. I have one other tiny thing I’d like to do, and of course there is always room for tweaking the mix and such. If you missed it today or any other day and you just can’t live without the opportunity to look at the back of my head for long stretches of time, you can always watch them non-live on my Ustream show page.]
I don’t want to crap up the arrangement too much because I like this one nice and simple, but I’m going to try some backing vocals today, tweak the drum part, and mess a bit with the mix. Watch above if you dare.
Ukes in San Fran
If you play ukulele and are coming to the show in SF on February 22, please email me. I’d like to talk to you about something.
A Non-Political Plug
I can’t make it this year, but I have some musical friends who will be there (and who are on the fund raiser CD). MarsCon: check it! The text below is directly from the (e-)mouth of The Great Luke Ski:
It’s a 2-CD set full live concert tracks from MarsCon 2007 (including Sudden Death, Worm Quartet, the great Luke Ski, Possible Oscar, Rob Balder, Carrie Dahlby, The Gothsicles, Power Salad, Ookla The Mok, Carla Ulbrich, and more) and two new studio bonus tracks by MarsCon 2008 performers PAUL & STORM & Hot Waffles! And when you order the CDs, you also get a link to download the tracks on MP3! The funds raised will go towards the hotel costs of the MarsCon 2008 Dementia Track performers. For the full track listing and ordering info, follow this link!
