Welcome to the pooper-dome.

So I have been posting few updates, mostly the strips I do with the occasional band update. Since I haven't been drawing much, there have been no updates.

I have another blog on the live-journal thing, but for the last year I have just posted about the Transformers figures I've been buying. That's pretty boring and I don't plan to do that here.

But I should post something here occasionally. I love drawing my strips but I haven't had the time to even when the inspiration has been hot. I can blame the Wii (Damn you, Metroid Prime! Damn you to hell!), I can blame Netflix streaming (The Larry Sanders Show? I don't have anywhere to go!), I can blame the return of baseball, but I should just blame myself in the end. Shame. Shame on me.

I did write a script, however, and it is being produced as a play this fall (2011). Some projects I worked on through 2010 are coming to fruition finally in 2011. These projects have also taken me away from the drawing stuff.

And these projects could, I guess, fall under the King Vermin banner. The script is clearly a King Vermin product, it just so happens that a theater group is putting it on. So I will announce and update those things here.

I will post some here beyond what is on the twitter and the face-book. I will try to NOT write about my day or my feelings. Perhaps there is a short story in there. Perhaps there is a command to my legion of followers who worship me. Perhaps not. But if making a strip these days is lower on my priority, then I should find something to do with this space given to me by the blogger google gods.

UP & COMING PROJECTS

-The new HIRED GOONS album is called BIGGER THAN JEBUS. We hope to have it finished soon, and for realz. We are doing some final touches on it. It has been a long time coming and we're kinda mad at ourselves for taking so long. Various factors have been factored in. Did you know the first album took only five days to record and mix? Of course, this time around we jumped into the studio to record songs the band hadn't played live. Nearly half the album. So that was kind of rough on our schedule. Hopefully it will be worth it. Thirteen songs. Should be fun.

-Hired Goons will be opening for The Flaming Dames at Finn McCool's on Saturday, May 28th.

-I'm board op for CUBICLE, a play being put on by the same people who will be producing my script in the fall.

-I will soon be putting together The Paul Show #3.

-Free Comic Book Day: Saturday, May 7th. G-Mart Comics (2641 N. Kedzie Ave.). Stop on by.

Okay, that's it for now. We'll see how this actual blog use for my formerly strictly comics blog site goes.
