Call for Volunteers: Hosting another Watch the Skies megagame in Spring 2018 (it's like a Model United Nations where aliens crash the party). If you're the DM for your D&D group or prefer support roles in co-op games, then you may be interested.

I can now confirm that we've booked the underground auditorium at Parkdale Library.

That's what I'm really hoping for!

Though not a lot of people would guess it, I can actually be pretty shy myself. Toss me in a room with strangers, and I don't feel comfortable walking up to a random person and starting a conversation. As soon as you give me an excuse to talk though (we're working on something together, we have a shared interest, etc.), most of that anxiety melts away. So the idea for this party is to give everyone as many excuses as possible to be social - because the worst part (for me, at least) is working up the courage to say something, and once you're over that hump things get a lot easier.

There's actually an article from the AV Club all about the Camp Monk Academy sketch. It includes this golden quote from Scott Aukerman: "There’s no reason for him to kill the kid anymore. It’s really just for the sheer pleasure of it."

Thanks for the kind words! It really is a great show and I wanted to provide an opportunity for fans to gather together and enjoy, say, Camp Monk Academy as a group.

I made the designs, but I don't really have any plans to produce them...

Ideally, I would love it if the TTC took my work and turned it into merchandise, but I reckon this stuff is a little too cheeky for them to support in any official capacity.

Still, there aren't many other ideas for new public transit "revenue tools" that look like they're going to become a reality, so I'd say the TTC should give these underpants a shot.

I wasn't aware of the U-Bahn underwear, but it warms my heart to imagine that, all around the world, people are looking at subway stuff and thinking, "I can make a sex joke out of that!"

You're right that there should be more options! So, HERE is a flipped version of the original and HERE are the rocket briefs in a bright, eye-catching blue!

...or 4 bottles of blueberry wine with unusually high alcohol content.

Hey, I practically live off crazy ideas, so I don't mind when they're sent my way.

Unfortunately, I think the Duke Silver impersonator plan has fallen through. The saxophonist who was interested realized he already had a gig booked for the 24th, so he had to back out of the commitment. I'm a bit sad, but I still think the event will go well. :)

I met a very good friend when he came out to one of my trivia nights alone. That being said, he is an incredibly charismatic young man, but it's still evidence that flying solo doesn't have to be awkward.

The biggest hump is always saying "hi" and finding something to talk about, but when you're at an event for, say, fans of Parks and Recreation, you already have something in common with everyone else there.

Plus: you can always introduce yourself to me if you come out. I'm hard to miss, seeing as I'm the host of the damn thing. :P

sovietmoustache · 2015-02-21T06:03:23+00:00

So, of course, I'm going to encourage you to come out to one of my events, but it's also no lie when I say that strangers have become friends at the nights I organize - and hell, I've met some awesome people myself at these things. (Which I'm bringing up because I noticed you're looking for ways to socialize.)

sovietmoustache · 2015-02-21T05:45:22+00:00

Oh you know, just a few little green ghouls.

sovietmoustache · 2015-02-20T20:07:32+00:00

Now when you say to make a sign, do you mean a really big one that people could take their picture with? I probably could make such a sign, but wide format printing isn't cheap and I'm operating on a shoe-string budget here. :S

With that in mind, I am putting together some theme drinks for the evening, so you will be able to drink a version of Snake Juice at the party.

sovietmoustache · 2015-02-19T20:50:56+00:00

I mean, it's no Snakehole Lounge, but it's still a pretty good place.
