Big news this episode, as I reveal I’m going on a brief hiatus until next Thursday—by when a new Aliens You Will Meet episode will be on the feed—but before I go, I gotta clean out the inbox and go through some feedback!

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 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. More information and work by this artist can be found at www.magnatune.com.

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..
