For those of you purchasing posters, thank you – the response has been great! I wanted to clue you in on a little bit of information.
The poster count you see telling you how many posters are left does not update itself dynamically after a purchase has been made. Those numbers have to be changed manually by me and then uploaded back to the site. It was my intention to make those changes at the end of each day.
If you’re curious about which numbered poster in the series you will receive, that information will be included in the e-mail notification I will send once the item has been shipped out.
Once again, sincere thanks to those who have purchased their posters. You’re helping to make this project a great success!

Sales of the posters have been pretty brisk – 16 in the first day! If we keep going at this rate, we’ll be out of stock by the end of the week!
If you haven’t purchased a poster yet, don’t get discouraged that the lower numbers are already gone. Remember, there are only 100 of these. So that means, if you buy one, you’ll be one of only 100 people IN THE WORLD who has a signed and numbered poster from Theater Hopper.
Maybe when this is all said and done, the 100 of you can get together for some kind of class reunion? Well, maybe not. But it’s still a pretty exclusive club!

I just watched Spider-Man for the first time. I don’t know why I waited. I guess i didn’t think it would appeal to me, but it did. ::THWIPP!:: Thumbs up!
I also watched Birthday Girl starring Nicole Kidman and Ben Chaplin. It was a very good film. It’s British and I really hadn’t heard much about it, but it was a good find. Russian mail order brides? Bank robberies? Plot twists galore? Count me in!
I was clicking through the links on the right and stumbled across the music of ComradeF over at The Misc. Check out the tracks with Lucy Doll here, they are definitely worth your time.

For those of you interested in learning more about John Cusack and his politics, it may be in your interest to check out Cusack For President – a totally legit effort to get out boom box hero into the highest office in Western Civilization. And they sell nice t-shirts to boot.
A shout out also for Alex Shebar who recalled Cusack riding a motorcycle in the rain during American Sweethearts.
Got any other examples of Cusack in the rain? Pass them along.

Cami and I narrowly avoided seeing The Real Cancun this weekend. We got in the car, drove to the theater to check for show times, grabbed dinner and then thought better of ourselves before deciding we should just go home. What can I say? We were bored. It was a moment of weakness.
I feared that any success that would befall The Real Cancun would bring nothing but bad tidings for the rest of us for all eternity. Billed as the first “reality” movie (suddenly documentaries don’t count?) The Real Cancun was filmed in 2 weeks in March of this year, edited in another 2 weeks from 80 hours of footage of a bunch of bronzed morons killing brain cells over their spring break.
We’ve already seen what reality programming to TV having wiped most produced dramas and comedies clean off the slates of most prime time rosters. Should The Real Cancun do any real business, a wave of this kind of material would surely follow. I didn’t want to be a part of that.
I mean, when you get down to it, what is The Real Cancun but a two hour long episode of The Real World where you finally get to see some boobs? Do you want to admit you carved out a block of time for that?

Mitch from Nothing Nice to Say has announced that he is cutting back production on his strip from 3 times weekly to once each Monday for personal reasons. I am unbelievably bummed, but wish nothing but the best for Mitch and his emotional heath.
Here’s to Mitch Clem – a great talent much less deserving of the crap being flung his way. Chin up, man. And take care.

I don’t know if this is going to be buried underneath the giant post I made trying to absolve my soul in regard to hooking up with Top Web Comics, but I’m giving it a shot.
Anyway, poster sales are reaching the half way point and I want to finish strong. That’s why I’m putting out the call for those of you who have already bought posters to provide a little good press.
I plan on developing a “positive feedback” page in conjunction with the poster sale that details how pleased all of you are with your posters. If you’d like to participate, just send me your information – a picture of yourself with your poster and whatever kind words you wish to bestow. If you are a web comic creator – and I know there are a few of you out there who bought posters – I am ESPECIALLY interested in your feedback. If I can provide a link back to your site with the kudos, it adds that extra bit of credibility.
I’m not fishing for compliments, but am looking to employ a tactic from a marketing standpoint that will put the lean on all the procrastinators out there who aren’t convinced of the superior quality of these posters. Maybe some impartial consumer commentary will persuade them otherwise!
Thanks!

I would just like to remind everyone since it is May 1st to please place your vote at Top Web Comics.
For those of you not in the know, they wipe the slate clean at the start of each month to give people EXACTLY LIKE ME a chance.
I feel good about adding the TWC banner. Yesterday you guys voted for me some 80-odd times. That’s more than the bulk of those sites see in a year!
But they don’t love you like *I* do…

On a recommendation from Carrington, I decided to find out what the site Googlism.com thinks of me. This was the one and ONLY result:
“Tom Brazelton is from Iowa and thus at a greater disadvantage than the others.”
Apparently even the Internet has now turned it’s back on me.
