the shit factory

i got posted on kotaku today and got my first negative comments on the web! I have truly arrived.

but then… negative comments be damned - I sold 7 fire flowers (pretty much all i had!) plus a set of ghosts and some shrinky dinky stuff. all while i did things like eat pizza, played my guitar, and even went to the bathroom (this is the shit factory after all)

then, joey lubitsch (who i’ve known since birth but just ran in to after 6 years of not seeing him) and josh cantor (who i went to freakin HEBREW SCHOOL with and haven’t seen since 4th grade!) came over and we had some beers and played some music. i had a blast.

i’m too happy to sleep. i don’t know what to do with myself (hence the quarterly blog post)

i just finished a bunch of shrinky dink jewelry that i’ll be putting in my etsy shop over the coming days. i’ve actually sold some stuff to people other than my mom now!

next weekend, i’m heading to the video game expo in philly to play games and pass out stickers.

well, someone found my space invaders mobile on etsy and liked it enough to blog about it! let’s hope that someone who reads that blog likes it enough to buy it now.

also, the first automata (maybe last? see below) show was last night at the note. it went quite well. we won’t be playing alpine valley anytime soon, but we didn’t scare anyone away either…

the general consensus about automata is that people don’t get the name… so we’re trying to come up with a new name. a free pixelparty gift will go to anyone who comes up with our new name. the name needs to be short, available on myspace, not the name of a signed band or a working band in chicago, and preferably something geeky… any takers?

UPDATE: the fine folks at geek alerts picked up the first link and posted with more pictures. someone’s just gotta buy something. the pinky ring ain’t gonna give itself away…
