Saturday, September 8th, there will be a public audiobook release party at KBOO Radio here in Portland, with live renditions of some of the scenes from the book by many of the voice actors that took part, narrated by Danbert Nobacon.

Crazed Opulence
From Guest Blogger and Walch Art Group Artist John Maddin -
LA$ VEGA$! City of opportunity, or as Henry Rollins once put it, that “town of desperate %$#@heads”. Las Vegas played host to a Trade and Licensing Show early in June, and yours truly went to this soiree of commerce to see what could be seen. Having never been in Vegas before, I was curious to see what little I could of this famous burg that rose from a dusty nowhere desert community to a hotbed of entertainment and gambling practically overnight. Alas, I was unable to do much sightseeing, as most of my time was spent at the licensing show, meeting people and trying to make contacts. I got a lot of VERY helpful advice from the folks at Rosenthal Represents (www.rosenthalrepresents.com) and from Intercontinental Licensing (www.intercontinental-ltd.com), and had a very good conversation with Cathy Anderson at Wild Apple (www.wildapple.com). Licensing is a fickle field to get into, and you have to have a really good feel for creating the kind of art that will sell product. So, I’ve got some work to do to get a toe in the door, but it’s doable.
While at the show, I made a little movie with my camera to show Michelle the long walk from the front door of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, to the Convention Hall of the Casino, where the actual Licensing Show was being held. As I said earlier, I’d never been in Vegas before, and the crazed opulence of the Vegas casino world was a bit much for my fragile eggshell mind, so please bear with the tone of my voice over. Enjoy!
