An Introduction to Crowbar and Her Brothers

It turns out that RedJack will have a dealer's table at FiestaCon (Westercon 62), which will be in Tempe, Arizona on July 2-5.  I can't wait for the heat!  Seriously, the hotter the better -- it's been raining for five days straight up here in Arcata...My cat is starting to mold.
On the other hand, I'm bummed that RJ will not be at Wiscon this year.  My daughter is leaving for Belize that week, and I just can't make it happen.  I just got the word through the Broad Universe network that Lettie Prell is going to be writing the skit for the opening ceremonies, and I'm going to miss it (along with all of the other loopiness that is Wiscon)!  Wah.
Anyway, that's all my news.  I hope everyone has a great week!

...is the title of Frank Wu's animated short, which I saw at Westercon and loved -- especially because Frank was there to explain all the high-falutin' literary references it contains, which I missed while I was laughing at the high-heeled ray-gun shoes and the exploding chicken monster (and frankly, would have missed anyway).  Apparently, this short (the Director's Cut version) is being considered by Nickelodeon as a pilot for a series, so, Frank says it would help if we all go to YouTube and run up the hit counter in order to impress the execs.   I highly recommend it as a cure for artistic over-seriousness...

By the way, according to Frank, all of the music in the short is a variation on "The Chicken Dance."
