Anywhere near Palm Springs? Why don't you go to Wednesday's showing of Nerdcore Rising at that town's International Film Festival? It begins at seven in the evening and details are readily available.

The whole internet has been very patient in its knuckle-biting anticipation of the Wallflowers Video Contest results. Trust us that the judging was extremely difficult. Everyone who entered was in fine, fine form. But! Highlander. So:

Our grand prize winner is: nicreations with this absolutely on-point stop-motion bonanza. Nic will win all the Frontalot merch that there is, plus a freestyle about his awesomeness.

First runner is: The Dean Of Rhyme, who told a touching story of dancing in front of cardboard robots and then ripping their hearts out. Justin wins his two favorite Frontalot shirts and a hearty congratulations.

Second runner is: ataric0n with some extremely kickass editing chops. You win a firm handshake and the CD of your choice.

Honorable Mention goes to: fuzzy gerdes who took the central idea of the song and did not let go of it. We hope fuzzy clutches it still, as it is the only prize available. That and a button pack, okay, fine.

Thanks again to everyone who competed! Frontalot has long deemed his fans to be a tasteful, talented bunch, and he is glad to have these contest entries to prove it.

Your gifts are already purchased, but get (for yourself) one of these charity CDs from the fine folks at Child's Play. Front's got a song on there, as does each of these Frontal allies: JoCo, Beefy, Lars, The OneUps, Anamanaguchi, Freezepop.

The gang plays Pittsburgh on Saturday night (after a Friday in Philly and before their bow-out in Hoboken) and they need you to help spread the word. Are you a CMU student? Write to yook@frontalot.com about teaming for us in the CS dept and elsewhere. You will be rewarded.

You already know all about Front's Jacksonville show on the 2nd, but have you heard about the last-minute birthday blowout in Orlando? It is December 3rd (that is when Front's age notches up again) and the party starts at A Comic Shop at 5pm, then proceeds to Black Box Collective for the rapping portion from 8PM onwards.

Front is actually, amazingly, charting a little bit on college radio. Please use telephone technology to keep the pressure on. By this we mean: make requests. The album is called Final Boss.

If you are one of these celebrity ladies, please contact booking@frontalot.com for a date (immediately.) (You do not want one of the other celebrity ladies on the list to get a date with me first.) (Thereby preempting you.) (From getting a date with me.) (Hurry! Offer expires soon!) (Well, technically not soon. But definitely at some point, like say if I were to get married to someone who did not want me to continue to date celebrity ladies after the wedding. Or if Johnny Depp were to come back to America and offer to have a date with me, thereby causing me to discover that I'm gay.)
