Link o' the Day: Casebook: Jack the Ripper
Across the nation, people celebrated the release of the Venture Bros season 3 on DVD and Bluray with costume parties, parades, and themed luncheons. I joined about 2,500 other fans yesterday at the Omni-Biltmore hotel for a huge costumed ball. There were hundreds of Monarchs and Dr. Mrs The Monarch, #21 and #24's, Hanks, Deans, Thadeus's, Sgt. Hatreds, Phantom Limbs, Mr. Mondays, King Gorillas, Dr. Henry Killingers, Alchemists, Byrons, and loads more. I attended as Truckules--along with a dozen others--it was a hard night to be original. That's not to say there weren't some surprises.
President Obama joined us and others via satellite, decked out in a bitchin' Jefferson Twilight ensemble, to wish us all a Happy Venture. We could see Michelle Obama in the background dressed as Brock Sampson, and the First Kids as Watch and Ward. They kept their link up for a couple of hours as everyone danced, danced, danced.
A good time was had by all. I hear the Seattle party got so big that the governor (who went to the Olympia party dressed as The Action Man) was forced to call in the Washington State National Guard when rowdy Venture Bros fans rewired the Space Needle and launched it at Eugene, Oregon.
Good times.
Good times.

Should be a pretty manageable day today. I've been keeping on schedule and see no reason why that won't be the story today as well. I'e been working on a fascinating book called Character Kings which features interviews with a lot of familiar Hollywood faces, if not names talking about art and the business of acting. This month's medical journal is just about out the door--just waiting on some final ads. The SFWA Bulletin looks on schedule--in plenty of time for the Nebula Weekend. I'm also doing another book for Intellect. Pretty good.
On the TumbleTap front, our sampler book is at the printer now, and once it's been reviewed, we'll have copies printed up for the San Diego ComicCon and get full volumes of Rogue Satellite Comics and Oz Squad out as well before July.
So, good times.

Today's link goes to a killer site: Casebook: Jack the Ripper, a complete clearinghouse of information, all the information, available on Jack the Ripper. Locations, victims, documents, police, witnesses, suspects!. (Prince Albert was one.)
Have fun sleuthing!
Cheers!
