WildClaw Theatre-Bringing Horror to the Chicago Stage!

As if I did not have enough to do...Some of my crazy pals and I are starting up a new theatre company in Chicago dedicated to bringing horror and fantasy to the Chicago stage! Many of the individuals involved were responsible for doing Clive Barker's In The Flesh play in the early 90's which was the first and most influential piece of theatre that I had ever seen. Now I am one of them and its very cool! So if you have some extra cash lying about and want to support the arts, head over to our website (which is in progress) or if you live in the area, mark your calendars for December 8th for the Wildclaw Wicked Winter Carnival Benefit Extravaganza....it will be a heck of a party. Our first production is Arthur Machen's The Great God Pan...and seriously folks, this is going to be some sexy scarey stuff of nightmares. I cannot wait. here's the poster...and if that isn't enough to make you come to Chicago to see it...I am not sure what's wrong with you?

Undead America Supports the WGA Strike! You can too!

November 9, 2007

FANS STAND BEHIND WRITERS IN LABOR DISPUTE
Fans4Writers.com Web site launched to pool resources, coordinate activities

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - "Don't write until it's right."

That's the message fans have for writers of their favorite shows as the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike nears the end of its first week. On Thursday, November 8, an ad hoc group of fans from around the nation launched Fans4Writers.com, as part of a grassroots coordinated effort to support WGA writers.

"As fans, obviously we want to see our shows back on the air as soon as possible," said organizer Brenda Lawhorn. "But at the same time, we recognize that it's the writers who make these shows so compelling, and they need to get fair compensation for the work they do."

The Fans4Writers campaign is made up of several components:

DIRECT SUPPORT: Through its "Food for Thought" program, Fans4Writers will organize and facilitate the delivery of provisions to writers on the picket lines. In addition, fans will gather to join their favorite writers on the picket lines.

MORAL SUPPORT: Through a paid ad in a major publication, fans will tell the industry - and the public - in no uncertain terms that they support the writers' right to a fair deal.

FOUNDATION SUPPORT: At the conclusion of the strike, any remaining funds will be donated to the Writers Guild Foundation to support its charitable and educational activities.

"The studios might not be prepared to value the writers highly enough to offer them a fair deal," said Christopher Frankonis, another of the site's organizers. "But the fans will commit themselves, their time, their energy, and their money to show just how highly we value them, for as long as the strike lasts."

Fans4Writers volunteers will make another "Food for Thought" food drop at 9 a.m. Friday morning at the WGA's planned picket line, in front of the 20th Century Fox studio on Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Laptop is sick...podcast delayed

I am sorry guys and gals...my laptop has been running really funny. I have recorded not one but TWO episodes that have both been eaten by the mac netherworld. I finally took it into the store and its getting a new harddrive and more memory...but it means further delays. I will try to record a little something on my sansa for you. But hopefully we will be back in business next week.

In the meantime, don't forget to check out the Buffy comics and the Angel After the Fall first issue. Also, pick up a copy of The Physics of the Buffyverse and start learning.

Now's the time to start watching Smallville too! They are slowly gearing up for the return of Brainiac and I cannot wait for James Marsters to come back to the show.

So...soon my pretties...very soon.

DIY Angel Season Six Comic Covers!

Announcing a NEW INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE at our Buffy Collector Club:
Angel: After the Fall Interactive Comic Subscription Experience

September 21, 2007 (Pittsburgh, PA): Online toy and collectible retailer Time and Space Toys has teamed up with IDW Publishing to offer Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fans a chance to get involved in the much anticipated Angel: After the Fall comic book series. Conceptualized by Buffy/Angel creator Joss Whedon himself, the twelve issue series will pick up where Season Five of the fan-favorite television series left off. Time and Space Toys will offer its own exclusive version of the series, inviting fans themselves to create and select the cover artwork for eleven of the twelve issues. Billed as an "interactive comic subscription," fans who have subscribed to Time and Space Toys' exclusive series will have the opportunity to pitch and discuss cover ideas and vote amongst themselves to determine the exclusive cover concepts that will be used on the published comic books.

Public fan forum SlayAlive.com has been chosen as the venue for entry submissions, discussion and voting. Entries need not be actual drawings, but can also be concepts and ideas to be transformed by IDW's team of artists into a unique cover. A contest will be held each month for the next month's cover. Each month's winner will receive a cover credit in the issue as well as a prize package of Buffy and Angel merchandise from the Time and Space Toys Buffy Collector Club. Each of the twelve issues is limited to 1000 copies. The twelve month subscription to the exclusive cover series is available to purchase only at Time and Space Toys' Buffy Collector Club website, BuffyCollectorClub.com.

"This is a unique experience in which fans' own ideas can be immortalized," says Time and Space Toys President Kevin Kriess. " I cannot think of a better way for the continuing story of Angel. The fan ideas and forum interaction will create another level of entertainment and fun for the participants over the next twelve months."

"This is a creative way to involve Angel's passionate fanbase in this exciting new series," added Chris Ryall, IDW's Publisher/Editor-in-Chief, "and I'm happy to work with Kevin-and the fans-to deliver some special covers for this project."

The first issue in the series is scheduled to be released on November 28, 2007 and features a "launch" cover exclusive shared by Pittsburgh area comic store chain, New Dimension Comics. Issues 2 through 12 will be released about once per month after that, each featuring a winning fan cover concept.
