I missed out on meeting Ami from The Glass Urchin at Balticon by mere minutes.  For months after, every one of my webcomic friends got to know her and I feel I missed the boat since I have become a huge fan of her little comic.  But no longer! Thanks to the Twitters, we have had a chance to chat a bit, and turns out we are both fans of each other’s comics (or will pretend to be at the least).

The Glass Urchin is a autobio comic about Ami, though she is portrayed (as are her friends) as cute woodland creatures.  NO THIS IS NOT A FURRY COMIC.  It is, however, fun and hilarious.  Here’s my fav.  Go check out the site, it updates often and does not disappoint.

Ah, Is It Funny Today.  I have to give you at least a shout-out.  This new site lets you see tons of webcomics, and vote on whether or not they are funny today.  I find it clever because it automatically updates based on a comic’s RSS feed, and is run by ratio of Funny / Not Funny (not popularity).  I also have to say, it has doubled The System’s audience, so no complaints there (hi there, new people!).  Anyways, you should check it out, and keep an eye on my page there (also listed in the blogroll on this here site).  You can always vote for The System there. (The pic above, btw, is a quick screen shot.  #113 has been on top for the last 2 days!  I’m not-so-secretly thrilled.)

Yes, another reminder.  Super Art Fight, an event that I myself will be attending, is tomorrow night (8pm, $10, The Ottobar in Baltimore).  You can see more info on the site, as well as the many plugs we’ve been getting for the show.  Highlights include Baltimore Examiner, Washington Post, and a quick jaunt on Wonkette where she made fun of us.

This is a monster post, because you need to care about this.

Remember the last Super Art Fight?  There was a recap video, a blog writeup, and oh yeah, there’s a website?

Well, there’s another event, and it is this saturday night, December 20, 2008 @ The Ottobar in Baltimore.

Here’s a great promo video put together by MC Lars and gang hyping up for this next show. They talk about hating SAF after MC Chris kicked us off his bill 2 shows ago. More details on that, um, never. Still, we’ve embraced it and here’s the vid:

Thinking of going but not convinced?  Check out the Washington Post article on the subject, as well as one on Metromix.  Or hell, just check out the site.

Btw, if it wasn’t clear, I’ll be commentating again with Marty “effin” Day as we did at the last big SAF show.  Look forward to some awesomeness.

For those of you who couldn’t make it to Super Art Fight and really wanted to see how it went, I present this very awesome video.  For those of you who don’t know, I’m the one with a blue tux.

 

So, “when is the next one” you ask?  December 20, 2008 @ The Ottobar.  Mark your calendars.

I’m a little busy and exhausted to do a recap, but here’s a pic from the night.  Jami “Angry Zen Master” Noguchi, being crowned champion of Art Fight, by myself and Marty “Effin'” Day.  I was up on stage commentating with Marty all night.  Oh, and that’s Karmella’s Game in there as well, helping to guest judge the last round.

 

Artists.  Fighting.  Concert.  Webcomics. Oh, and I’ll be there.

The Ottobar, Saturday Night, Baltimore, MD.

ARE YOU in the Baltimore area?  Do you like webcomics?  Do you like rock shows?  Do you enjoy the idea of a new type of show beyond ANOTHER damn rock show?  Do you want to see me in person?  Has someone you know already told you about this?

If you have answered “yes” to any of these, you should go to Super Art Fight this Saturday night, at the Ottobar in Baltimore.  Here’s the site for more info.
