All this week, I have had almost nothing to do at work. My equipment is on order, but I am beginning to suspect that it will never come. What nefarious plans can they have for me, that they would offer me a job just to sit in my office and think strange thoughts?
Still, I cannot complain too loudly, since I do have work and all the downtime has given me some ideas. I started an advertising campaign for
logjamming.com, loren and I's web hosting company. You can catch textads for it on
kuro5hin,
metafilter,
daypop, and
blogger. Can anyone think of other good places to advertise? I'm toying with the idea of setting up a
Google Adwords account. We only do textads so far, but we might do banners on
blog*spot and
skylab.
Here is a mock up of a banner I made. We're gonna make banners that say little goofy things about logjamming, sort of like the Killoggs titles. This is just an example. Any ideas?
Another thing I am working on is "
A Summer of Shows". We're gonna do a show every two weeks this summer at the dirtfarm, along with video artists and spoken word and charities and vegetarian BBQ and all sorts of fun stuff, hopefully. The first weekend is all lined up, with Early Humans, the Great Collector, Carrion and Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine playing. It looks like Majority Rule, Strong Intention and True North may do shows, and I've asked QandnotU, Page 99, Lightning Bolt... A lot of other bands, too. If it comes together half as nice as I hope, it'll be great.
Tonight, I'm going to my film workshop class. I contacted my actors and will be meeting with them when I come back from my trip. We shoot April 6th-7th. I'll post my scene on here at some point soon.
Oh yes, my trip. Saturday I fly to Baton Rouge. While I'm there I hope to see a lot of you. Brian Bibbly is going to help me file papers to make logjamming more official than it is, and I'm going to do my taxes (and logjamming's). I'll be in New Orleans a lot, hanging with the Big Head Crew (evan).
I'll take a page from Milky's book : Anyone who wants a postcard,
email me your address (even if I already have it). It's doubtful you'll get anything written to you personally, but I'm gonna be going through my remaining belongings at my parents and will simply find interesting things, cut them into the shape of a postcard and mail them. So maybe that will be better than something handwritten. Maybe not. Who knows?
