Bizarro Genius Baby is the brand new single from Secrets. You might want to listen to the mp3, and you will definitely want to download the video (tiny Quicktime or DIVX, elsewise YouTube).
Front and company are having a lovely time on the road. Schaffer the Darklord is a great one to have with you in a van. Keep this in mind if he ever needs a ride home from somewhere. Tomorrow is Chicago with The Former Fat Boys. And ever onward! Get tix.
The Bizarro Genius Baby video is live and on the air. The accursed YouTubes have a copy. Better yet, see thevids page for your tiny-ass DivX or QuickTime versions. There’s a 100MB version at 720p, in which all of Jason’s lovely detail work emerges into clarity, but that file’s for VSP members only. Unless you wait around until Monday or so and get the torrent that Front is working on. Also Monday: the MP3 gets posted. Stand by!
Tonight: Boston! With Jim’s Big Ego! Sunday night: New York! And then the east coast is abandoned in favor of a westward trajectory.
Front’s officially on the road! Tour news: the Lincoln NE show got bumped up earlier and is now all ages. It’s a FTW-FTW scenario.
Biggest news is Bizarro Genius Baby related: Jason Thomas’s awesome video for the new single is done. You canget it now in fancy hi-def divx if you’re VSP. Otherwise, you can wait until Sunday morning when the song and various encodings of the video will be available to all.
Front will see you fine folks in New England this weekend!
Lincoln team is a go. Still we need a volunteer or two for Providence! Is it you?
New stuff in the store: a set of posters which includes the huge Gabe-drawn Secrets From The Future one-sheet, and the newly improved button pack that has a Secrets pin in it. Get spendy!
Lincoln, NE, show added on November 16th! Street teamsters suddenly needed! And!! We need two people to work Providence, RI. Every other town now has a solid team in place. Still, everyone everywhere is welcome to pass flyers around and post the all-dates images on your face/my/book/space/ndster blogospheric whatever-you-got.
Hey, if you’re in NYC on Monday the 5th, see Front’s maestro Gminor7 doing a bunch of his own songs at a showcase called Geeks, Freaks, & Good Ol’ Boys.
The street teams are pretty well fleshed out. Thanks to the volunteers! We still need someone to step up for the Rhode Island show, and we could use a second teamster in New York and Denver. And of course you’re welcome to join up in any other town, if you’re not going to be sad that the rest of the team got all the free tickets before they ran out. Write in.
This is the most interesting comic Front’s seen all week. And this, the loveliest flash puzzle.
Front needs street teamsters for all shows in November! You want to get involved? It is poster-putting-up, nerd wrangling, etc. You get into the show free and receive a certificate of awesomeness which is suitable for framing.Write in if you’re down!
Did you see Front’s little cameo as the delivery boy in The Grammar Club’s debut video? How about the most abhorrent flash game ever, did you play it? Does your ISP block outgoing traffic on port 25, and do old ladiesgive them the what for on your behalf? Is your monster hungry?
The November tour is taking shape! Currently confirmed dates are on the gig calendar. Start your attendance plannination. See also: video interview with the whole band from last weekend’s GGL showcase in NYC.
Yoiks! Don’t be fooled by the calendar-related lies that have appeared recently under “next gig” on the left! TheDigitalLife show at Javits Center (New York) is not on Saturday, but rather on this very Friday! Front takes the stage at 2:00PM and again at 5:30 for a pair of short sets. In between? Video game tournament stuff. Be riveted!
Front extends his big-sized thanks to the many rad people he met at KoL Con IV in Phoenix and to whoever yelled “Frontalot!” at him on the street in Portland the other day. It is nice to be appreciated.
We welcome the general public to begin its viewing of the It Is Pitch Dark music video. This is directed byJason Scott as an HD extra for his documentary on text adventures, Get Lamp. If you do not care for the weeQuickTime or DivX files at frontalot.com, you can help yourself to the gigantor 1280x720 HiDef QT, a mere 474 megs, available via torrent, or! you can go in the other direction and check out the shittiest available res over onYouTube. Blind fans will probably enjoy the mp3 instead.
Front and crew are aloft again in the morning, for a show at Earlham College on Friday night (sorry, kids, no general public admission) and then for the Kingdom of Loathing convention in Tempe on Satruday night. That one’s wide open, so get yourself over to The Sets nice & early for pre-show cocktails. The more you drink, the more adventures you have!
Oh! And do not miss Vaguely Qualified’s third Nerd Of The Week episode. It’s about young Harry and some book about him or something.
