| THE ACT-I-VATE EXPERIENCE DOCUMENTARY |
[Dec. 16th, 2009|11:04 am] |
The ACT-I-VATE Experience, a documentary directed and produced by Seth Kushner and Carlos Molina, (CulturePopProductions.com) gives a behind-the-scenes look at the premiere webcomics collective.
OR, VIEW THE ACT-I-VATE EXPERIENCE HERE: http://vimeo.com/8204237
“What began as a promo piece for ACT-I-VATE became an informative film about webcomics, web vs. print, and the future of the industry,” says Seth.
The ACT-I-VATE experience features interviews with and art by such comics luminaries as Dean Haspiel, Nick Bertozzi, Mike Cavallaro, Simon Fraser, Tim Hamilton, Leland Purvis, Molly Crabapple, Kevin, Coldon, Dan Goldman, Josh Neufeld and many more.
The film has already premiered at the Baltimore Comic-Con, Brooklyn’s King Con, APE in San Francisco, Quimby's Bookstore in Chicago, and online at Newsarama.co
ACT-I-VATE, the premiere webcomix collective, features original, serialized graphic novels and is updated daily. ACT-I-VATE's select artists produce their signature work sans editorial oversight and offer their comix for free to an ever-growing audience of loyal readers. In addition to these high-quality comix, ACT-I-VATE is known for having lifted the veil between creation, creator, and reader by providing a forum for spirited dialogue between audience and auteur. The website confirms one of ACT-I-VATE's core tenets: that the artists and writers of this curated comix community are the optimal providers of intellectual properties and original content. http://www.act-i-vate.com/ |

this is MIke McAndrew ... who sired the McAndrew boys ... father of three
upon moving to new york one of the things i always caught myself missing that i hadnt expected was conversations with my friends parents ... mike mcandrew was probably highest on that list. he was always good for a stern talk and a good laugh |

Another NYE-related post from me.
One of my friends can't come out because his mother is visiting and was asking if there were any restaurants I knew of that they could go to. I suggested Rumeli's on Brunswick, but he informed me that they require a vegetarian restaurant. Does anyone know of any good vegan restaurants that's doing something good for New Year's? I don't think his mother would like putting up with Rumeli's entertainment all night long anyway, so something a little low-key but still a good way to spend New Year's Eve with some decent entertainment would be great.
Thanks! |

There is within me a space which perfectly defines your absence, as if the edges of where I am hollow exactly outlines the velvet surface of your skin. |

i have not been out for lunch in a very long time.

| Aircon or Evaporative? |
[Dec. 16th, 2009|05:29 pm] |

We're looking at both. Aircon is cooler, but far more expensive and requires us to have one of our windows open for the outlet pipe (we have swinging windows so can't just jam them.)
We'll hopefully only need it for this summer, (looking at buying once we've sold our Sydney place) and the usual contracts for hire are 2-years, which is almost as expensive as buying.
For people who have coped through a Melbourne summer with either, and preferrably with both, recommendations? Comments? Obvious pitfalls? Bad poetry? |

God I hate Dec -> Feb.
I mean, retailers probably hate it too but for different reasons (namely they are busy as fuck). But the Office work is all thumbs twiddling and net surfing here. No-one in corporate-land wants to buy anything or have anything done, and all the drones are all surfing teh internets rather than doing work and trying to break their machines.
God, friday can't come soon enough...
Bring on holidays and beer. |

Hi MMs,
Can anyone here recommend me a laptop repair/service centre?
I'm looking for someone who can clone and upgrade my lappy's harddrive for a reasonable price.
There's a few dodgy looking places around my area, so I'm willing to travel on recommendation.
Ta! |

| They with the same hair from when we were thirteen |
[Dec. 15th, 2009|11:13 am] |
last night:
Sitting in Kino Cafe on Cambie Street, a place I am far too familiar with from when I was a teenager, out to support an old friend in the latest band she’s in with her brother. I am uncomfortable here, isolated, oddly part and yet not of the lives of the people involved with this evening. We used to come here all the time. The bartender would flirt and pour us drinks, even though we were underage. Fifteen years later, the bartender is gone, off to open his own place on Main St, but the place is little changed. As, too, are the people I am here with again.
Oddly, like the venue space, she looks almost exactly the same. The clothing has changed, but excepting that, the only thing missing are her braces.
Her brother, by contrast, I cannot see him as the person he is past the ruin of who he used to be. It’s as if someone has clumsily globbed handfuls of plasticine over the familiar corners of his body, rounding him out into the oddly bulky costume of a stranger. Underneath his new shape, however, it’s likely he is still a liar.
She is my conduit to these people, to this place. Her I named far more, in certain ways, than her parents ever did, a solid fingerprint the world does not know to see. “I don’t like my name,” she said when we met, and so by the time she was eleven, I had changed it, twisting the syllables until it described her face, until it fit her as well as her own skin. Little Mouse, she is, and for so long now that people commonly ask if she’s Russian. If it weren’t for her, I never would have come. Out of the twenty socially incestuous names I know in this crowd, she is the only one I would call my friend. For the rest of them, it was more that I was sometimes around, though we were all almost constant companions, present for almost every adventure, for years.
It makes me wonder if I should feel sorry, if there is something I missed, though I would not change our distance. Even through my disasters, I prefer who I am to who they would have me be. |

(Wishing I was at the Lady Gaga concert last night...)
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) feels_like_fire: She did a costume change like every 2-3 songs.
jou: RULE. DRAG QUEEN. <3
feels_like_fire: OH YES. but oh man, she's so fun. and very smart.
jou: I'm quite certain she is.
feels_like_fire: there was one part where she didn't expect the crowd to know as much of "speechless" as they did, I guess, because she totally teared up.
feels_like_fire: You could see the tears on her face on the jumbo-tron screens.
jou: AWWWWW WHAAAAT OMG SO CUTE GAGA CRIED AT HER OWN CONCERT.
feels_like_fire: and she was all, "You made me cry on my new black lace mask!" it was SO CUTE. |

If you were hired to paint a mural in a kids room, would you charge by the hour or by the job?
How much would you charge? I've never been good at pricing my work...
Thanks! |

but due to the obscene temperatures tomorrow... and my deliciously povo lack of air con at home, can anyone recommend a free wi-fi hotspot somewhere in the SE burbs I could take advantage of that has air con AND an outlet for me to plug my laptop into? If I'm going to actually get any work done I'll need to use battery draining programs.
Google tells me places roughly in my area but I can't find any air con/outlet specific information.
Thanks sexy mofos xx |

Nearly to the end of the first volume, now:
…Alan Moore who’s also in the audience at an early Roxy Music gig and watching Brian Eno in some insane costume making music with Science, Alan Moore, whose early career could easily be described as trying to find out what might happen if Brian Eno had written the Fantastic Four, Brian Eno, who conceived of his generative art software project 77 MILLION PAINTINGS as “visual music,” which is as good a term for “comics” as any I’ve seen…
