Words and News from Yer Central Mailer for CTO #4
|
Okay, so this issue’s late, but it’s on TIME for being late…since we announced the pushed-back deadline last time. So right on schedule…and hopefully we’ll be right back on track for our next deadline. Though that’s coming up real close to the holidays, so if you’re like me, you’d better start planning ahead now for that submission, because December really sneaks up on you fast! Let’s see what’s up in ‘Timer news, shall we?
Chronicles of a Bounty Hunter #1 is out!
Congrats to our own Joel B. Levy, as the comic he’s editing—and writing upcoming issues for—“Chronicles of a Bounty Hunter”, has gotten its first issue out! Joel and the other partners at Dark Water Enterprises debuted the book at a comic-con in Baltimore, and racked up 50 sales (speaking from experience? That’s HUGE for a weekend convention take!) and getting interest from a number of store owners. While not in stores yet, you can currently get your own copy of the first issue right off their web site. To do that, or just learn more, check it out at: http://www.darkwaterenterprisesinc.com
CM goes to the “Serenity” world premiere in Hollywood! Yeah, baby! You might have read this info already on the CT board, but yes, I flew to Hollywood last month for the world premiere of the movie I’ve been waiting for for the past two years, got to do the red carpet walk, got to sit with the cast (!) in the theater, and got to go to after-party and meet the stars and director Joss Whedon. Dream come true? Understatement! You can read the details in the current edition of The F Word.
And then the following week, me and ‘Timer Aaron Storck each flew to San Diego (me from Sac, Aaron from Seattle) to hook up with our old Firefly boys to see the official opening day of the film. Had a great weekend back in the old homestead, and got to see the film three times while there. And it just…kept…getting…better!
Michael O'Connell, Tony Graham, Russ Williams and Aaron Storck minutes before going to the Serenity opening day first show in San Diego If you haven’t been to see if yet…get out and do so now! Don’t wait for DVD. This movie needs your money if we’re going to get any sequels. You won’t be disappointed, I hereby promise! And if you want to check out the first nine minutes of the film before you decide, Universal has made that possible for you!
