Counterside Noise

Tagging the crazy all over the place

Sipping on your own urine in one story, working out how to conquer the world in another, crazy is never far from the posts of the Comic Shop. No hard fact given the writer of the site is often in his own world jabbering, jibbering about whatever it is that shines brightest that morning.

With the far ranging blow of stories highlighting the merchandise in store, there was always a need to perhaps collate and group the detritus. So in that end, tags are popping up in a couple of the articles. That way, if you're on the look out for some other and older posts about health, it shouldn't be that hard to find.

Martin Place frocks up as Metropolis again

Metropolis Museum flag - upclose
Down in Martin Place, for at least this Saturday, the flag poles all up and down Martin Place look so very tempting once more. Reports will have it that Superman Returns has returned for some location filming. And with the banners flapping in the winds, how can they be wrong?

Need to scale the poles in order to souvenir one of the Metropolis Museum banners? Try it during the day time, when more people are less likely to be that of the Red Sun crew. And bring something like clippers or scissors hardy enough to clip plastic rings off. Don't forget a stick to flick the top part off the holding pole.

What else are you going to do in the city?

Supanova blast zone

Down on Wharf 8 King Street Wharf, that monster of a convention known as Supanova is having it off.

Friday night's queue for the preview night featured a Klingon and her family of faeries as well as a few goths for good measure. The line up was already starting from the roll of 17:15.

Saturday and Sunday, staying well away from the area while working the first at the Comic Shop. For the sake of staying away and keeping away from the area for the next few days out of principle.

Clearing of the blast zone as it were.

Zoom suit riot

Within the span of a fortnight, the people of Assassination Entertainment or Superverse or whatever, sent through two sets of cards from their upcoming Zoom Suit project.

Sturdy, and a complete set of seven, they depict a few scenes from the short film or the comic. Not too sure. Haven't read the letter enclosed. Signed and possibly numbered -- outside the series "of" designation -- the cards look pretty much like miniature posters.

Coming from Boca Raton, Florida, the best thing about the correspondence -- outside the colourful front face art -- was that Australia Post were able to deliver the letter when the suburb was repeated, taking over the state information.

Score for the use of postcodes!

Bad taste in the mouth

Rancid move this, a throw up of a few things that are circulating the mind and doing some rounds. They don't have paper boys any more. The cars have run them all down.

The Outbursts of Everett True, despite all over the place everywhere is still something fun to read.

Like the chunk of the wall underneath the action figures back at the shop, the Vertigo trades is rather large. Handy then the Vertigo trades list for those who might want to see what they haven't got.

The Kirby Museum is open.

Cartoon themes that should be a good look early in the early morning when the ISP isn't looking at the usuage on the fat pipe.

Chugging along with about and over 2000 articles to date, the Marvel Database Project still manages to steal a lot of time. Most of it in the research and chipping away on entries that read too similar -- as in word for word -- to that of other sites. That's why they've got people going through them.
