Season of the Witch

It’s a new one from Nicholas Cage, who is also in ‘Kick-Ass’ as “Big Daddy”, and Ron Perlman, “Hellboy”. It’s a medieval tale of a witch being escorted with the intent of her being either tried or converted. Unlike most middle-age witches, this one is a very bad girl. Lots of cool special effects and armor. I’m not sure about Cage as a knight but only time will tell. Let me know what you think of the video.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Children of the gods running rampant in modern day New York? Zeus lost his mojo? Olympus is actually at the top of the Empire State? What in the world is going on here? Actually, it looks pretty cool and from the way the books are flying off the shelf at the store, I think I may have to pick this one up myself. It also makes a great gift this time of year. Have you read any of the books and if so, how did you like them?

Lone Star Shindig December 4-6, 2009

This weekend the ‘Verse will materialize in Austin. Thousands of Browncoats and other denizens will descend upon Grace United Methodist Church at 205 east Monroe street for the Lone Star Shindig.

Join us as we celebrate Shepherd Book's journey before becoming a crew member on Serenity. We'll start with an Abbey Fashion Show, showcasing Asian-inspired designs, while offering Sereniteas' blended teas, as well as homemade hors d'oeuvres. We'll have a costume picnic on the Abbey grounds and then a dance in the Fellowship Hall with music by The Bedlam Bards and food made primarily from produce grown at the Abbey! We'll end this shiny shindig with Serenity on the Big Screen at our local Alamo Drafthouse Lake Creek.

The best part - all proceeds from this event will go to support The Al Wooten Jr. Heritage Center of which Ron Glass, our Shepherd Book, is a Board Member.

Want to spend a weekend at Southdown Abbey? Get your tickets now. Space is extremely limited for this event, so don't miss out!

It’s benefiting a great cause so I hope some of you can make it down there. Take pictures and let me see’em!

Geek Orthodox’ Reis O’Brian opens up shop

Reis over at Geek Orthodox has found a way to make a little scratch to pay for the upkeep at his website. I’m keeping an eye on him because I would like to do the same thing one day. In the meantime, check him out and also take a look at his store.

Richard Cheese – Galactic Lounge Singer

Found this video posted on The Kessel Run and thought I’d link it here. Check out their blog, it’s pretty cool! The song will get stuck in your head if you watch it too much. Like I did.
