I also cooked up one new number that I like a lot &#8211; for some reason, as sedate as my music writing is when I&#8217;m thinking of stuff with lyrics, my instrumentals over the past 10 or so years have tended toward get-up-and-wiggle-all-available-body-parts stuff.  I also discovered, along with the various useful unfinished music, the long-lost full <em>8-minute <\/em>version of the PDF theme &#8211; you better bet you&#8217;ll be hearing <em>that<\/em> excerpted a lot on the next DVD.  Hell, even <strong>I<\/strong> had forgotten how long it originally was &#8211; I wish I had remembered that while scrambling to find enough original music to cover the audio gaps on the first DVD!  I may post some previews in the days ahead (like anyone&#8217;s <em>that<\/em> attached to my &#8220;white guy doing &#8217;70s funk&#8221; routine!).  Having had a little burst of musical creativity here, though, I&#8217;m probably going to wait until much later in the game to do more &#8211; &#8220;compose to picture,&#8221; as they say.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the PDF DVD, you can get it this coming weekend at Sniderman&#8217;s table at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccagshow.com\/\">CCAG<\/a> in Cleveland; at roughly the same time, relatively speaking, the newly-released Odyssey2\/Videopac cartridge <em>Martian Threat<\/em> will be debuting with cover artwork by yours truly at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurocon.info\">Eurocon 2008<\/a> in Karlsruhe, Germany.  That&#8217;s not a bad reach, geographically speaking, for a guy who stays home with the baby in Arkansas all the time.  The weekend after that, you can find the PDF DVD at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toomanygames.com\/\">Too Many Games<\/a> in Reading, PA.  I&#8217;m hoping that I&#8217;ll have a trailer ready for the CGE stuff by then too, but if that happens, it&#8217;s going to be an insanely tight squeeze.<\/p>\n<p>A while back I promised a follow up to Doctor Who In 35 Minutes; I&#8217;m coming down the home stretch on that, mainly because I&#8217;m going to need it finished and off the Avid so I can continue working on the CGE auction (!!).  As soon as I&#8217;m done with the CGE DVD content, it looks like I&#8217;ll be doing the packaging artwork too.  I think we&#8217;re still firmly on target for Christmas though.  I&#8217;ll make sure it doesn&#8217;t look too much like another PDF DVD.  \ud83d\ude06  <\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much like Psi Corps, I&#8217;m everywhere, for your convenience.
