Zero Day
Why am I pluggin' the new MC Frontalot album, Zero Day? Is it because he's my bro and I don't want him to die destitute in a ditch? A little. It is because it's got John Hodgman and Randall XKCD and there's a song about Wil Wheaton on it? A little less. Is it because it's "nerdcore hip hop"? No. It is because it's one of the best hip-hop albums I've heard in a few years, nevermind the nerd-core? Yes. It has actual funny skits. It has pretty lady singing choruses. The guy from Soul Coughing is on it. It is a really good record, and if you order the CD you can download it NOW.

Man, why the heck do you guys allow me to do things? You guys gotta stop letting me do things, I keep telling you I don't know what I'm doing. For those of you who saw it, that cardboard fortress was only about 75% finished for the entire show.

And if you came to see me (a thing that I always seriously doubt is possible) I am sorry I was preoccupied with trying to keep everything from breaking.

Anyway thanks to everybody who came by and especially everyone who helped! There was Doc Hastings and Mama Lasagna and WesTo and SamLo and Deathmole Jacques and The Huss and Doctor Birthday and Malki! and Cape Breton and Christopher and Mr. Jon Rosenberg and Tallahassee and The Puzzler. Did I miss anyone? That would be AWKWARD!

Gotta go, got a meeting about the new Wigu site!]]> http://www.overcompensating.com/posts/20100310.html http://www.overcompensating.com/posts/20100310.html Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0500 <a href="http://www.overcompensating.com/posts/20100310.html"><img src="http://www.overcompensating.com/comics/20100310.png" width="780" height="410" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0" alt="strip for March / 10 / 2010" title="Before I was so rudely interrupted by the television I was GOING to say &quot;some celebrities got pets that got pets that got pets that got teeny tiny little pet molecules&quot; -OR- the snake&#39;s name is Bonita Applebum"></a><br /> Pet<br /> <a href="http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&amp;Store_Code=TO&amp;Category_Code=ALL"><img src="http://www.topatoco.com/graphics/00000001/tkt-seasick-sm.png" width="150" border="0" align="left" vspace="3" hspace="6"></a> <font size="10"><b>COME ON DOWN TO SNAKE TOWN</b></font><br><br> <font size="4">Been so busy </font> getting ready for <a href="http://www.emeraldcitycomicon.com/" target="_blank">ECCC</a> I keep forgetting to make comics about it!
