We bleed orange and black.

THE STARTER will be in San Diego early next week. The FDØ™ will also be here in less than a week.  And in less than two weeks? Some of y'all will have your copies in your hot little hands.  I can't wait!

Continuing the series, here are the next three Tier One teams who will face the Krakens in THE STARTER.

Play hard, and leave it all on the field.

THE STARTER is less than a month away now. The FDO™ and I have made the lists, checked them twice.  He's practicing his signature, and I'm assigning numbers to names and printing labels like mad.

Continuing from last week's post, here are the next three Tier One teams who will face the Krakens in THE STARTER. (Actually, the Wabash Wolfpack is in here somewhere also, but y'all have already seen that one.)

FridayFix™: 2683 GFL Tier One Teams! (Part 1 of 4)

Are you ready for some football?

With the first 2010 NFL Preseason game this Sunday, and the publication date for THE STARTER just over a month away, it's getting pretty giddy around the Lair of Døøm™. We've acquired a Warehouse of Døøm (South) and lots and lots of shipping supplies, and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of THE STARTER pallets.

To celebrate, we're going to introduce you to the Tier One Teams, three at a time, over the next few weeks. The first three teams to meet the Ionath Krakens in battle this season?

I had the good fortune to meet Len Peralta at Comic Con, and spend some time with him and his fabulous wife.  If you're coming to Dragon*Con, you can catch Len and Sigler together on a the "Podcasts and Marketing to the Masses" panel.

And if you're digging the Dreadnaughts & Warlords logos, rest assured this isn't the last we'll see of ScottEPond, as he's got two more winning Tier One logos. 

If you haven't ordered yours, get on that.  Personalization available only until 8/20/2010, and you don't want to miss out.

FridayFix: Adrian Picardi wins the ANCESTOR video contest!

FridayFix!The FDO™ and I were amazed with the entries, both quantity and quality, but the judges have spoken! The winner of the ANCESTOR user-generated video contest is Adrian Picardi's vision of the "Where is Sara?" script (click here to read the script in PDF form).Three of the four judges voted for this one, so it's a clear-cut choice.

The FDO™ and I thank you all for entering. This was the coolest contest we have ever done, and it was amazing to see the vision and interpretations of so many Junkies. We'll be doing this again sometime in the future.

And as a personal comment to Adrian, the snakeskin-jacket Magnus was sweeeeeeet. Great performances, and killer lighting.

FridayFix™: The God Machine blog

Scott's still on the road for Week Two of the ANCESTOR Tour.  He's in Chicago tonight, Detroit tomorrow, then wrapping up the last few stops next week. Today's FridayFix™ is something different:

Liu Jian Dan's blog, as created back in 2007, for the first print version of ANCESTOR.

You'll notice some of the names and incidents have changed between versions.  And you'll notice the blogger behind Jian's posts was never revealed … until now. Back in 2007, Scott turned to P.G. Holyfield to blog as Jian, and P.G. rose to the challenge.  This blog is fun and full of references to the first print version of the book.  I hope you enjoy this quick peek back!


P.G. Holyfield is a fantasy writer that has been a Junkie since April of 2006. He is the author of Murder at Avedon Hill, available from Dragon Moon Press, and the story “Death, Taxes, and Scott Sigler,” which Scott played in his feed in December of 2006. 

P.G. is currently hard at work on the sequel to Murder at Avedon Hill. All of P.G.’s podcast content can be found at http://pgholyfield.com. He has the distinction of being the podcast author with the most Parsec Award losses in history without a win (a record previously held by Scott Sigler).

FridayFix™on Saturday: George Hrab's Trebuchet

Congrats to the Geologic team!

 

Warning: there's no Siglerificness in this download! 

 

Click here to download George Hrab's Trebuchet!

Friend of Dark Øverlord Media George Hrab recently released his new album Trebuchet, and is taking a page out of the Sigler playbook by offering it in it's entirety, for free, here today. Also, he's performing tonight at the Center for Inquiry NYC, if you're local you should check it out. 

Now, this isn't a music 'cast, and might not be your kind of music (we dig, but think George should put out a meh-talll album next) but we just had to drop this in the feed because in addition to George, our own Design Diva of Døøm, MsInformation, had her well-manicured hands all over Trebuchet. If you'd like to grab a physical copy to see her handiwork, click the album art at left. [And, she's furiously working on THE STARTER at this very moment.]

 

FridayFix™: ANCESTOR first weekend contest!

It's been a big week around these parts, and it's not over yet!  Scott's on the road, meeting and greeting on the ANCESTour.  He's getting such a kick out of seeing folks post their pictures, we've decided to have one last fun contest this last weekend!

Grab your new copy of the ANCESTOR hardcover, take a pic of it (and you!) and post it in the 2010 ANCESTOR Book Launch! group on Flickr. (If you don't use Flickr, you can email it to contest@scottsigler.com.)  On June 29th at noon (PDT) we'll pick a winner to receive a mint-condition copy of the 2007 white-cover ANCESTOR.

Go get 'em, and don't get eaten!

FridayFix™: Father's Day Interview with Irv "Coach" Sigler

Coach Sigler Father's Day Special - Click & Listen

Last year for Father's Day, Scott interviewed his dad. Scott loved recording it, and Junkies seem to dig it too. As it happens, Coach's favorite Sigler book is ANCESTOR, so I thought it would be fun to get them back on the phone this year.   They talk ANCESTOR, Michigan, cows, "Da Yoop," and even some football (of course they talk about football, those two have football on the brain).

I hope you enjoy this second annual installment, and happy Father's Day!
