One more thing about Penny Arcade: how awesome is this comic?

Maybe I’m the only one who wants an action figure of me (just look at those accessories), but I’d sure buy this product:

And then there is this image for “Always the Moon,” my sad little unloved entry in the latest round of Song Fu:

Thanks Len, but shouldn’t you be drawing monsters?

As announced at my show and then later and more officially at PAX, “Skullcrusher Mountain” is now available on Rock Band as part of the PAX Pack (both PS3 and 360). Three songs, three bucks: me, MC Frontalot’s “Livin’ at the Corner of Dude & Catastrophe” (co-written by Brad Sucks), and “Shh…” from Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. From now until Festivus 2008, Harmonix will donate all the proceeds from this song pack to the Child’s Play charity. I will most likely spend my proceeds on styrofoam cups, which I will arrange into a pile and set on fire.

Thanks to everyone at PAX for another awesome weekend. I really can’t overstate how well-run and damned-fun this event is – from Mike and Jerry and Rob on down to the tiniest, most adorable little enforcer, everyone associated with PAX is just so pleasant and helpful. You guys rule.

And what a crowd! I’m sorry about the Rickroll, but were you really that surprised? Felicia Day was kind enough to sing “Still Alive” with me, which is hard to dismiss as anything but the best. thing. ever. And I got to rock the mic with MC Frontalot (whose new record is fantastic) on the song I wrote the chorus for, “Diseases of Yore.” And also I Rickrolled you. Ha! Thanks to everyone who came to the show and bought stuff and said hi and in general made me feel like a rock star. My only regret is that I was too busy to really do or see anything other than my own merch booth. As always, if anyone has any bits of media they’d like to share, please feel free to add to the wiki page.

I have some catch-up posting to do – more news as it happens.
