It’s mere days to MarsCon 2012, and I don’t have anything new to report other than the Fund Raiser has reached its goal, and we now have 7 volunteers for Table 27. Thank you so much to everyone who bought the Fund Raiser album and who volunteered. Here’s a list of reminders with links, so you can all properly prepare for rocking the apocalypse!

SPAFF HAS CANCELLED HIS APPEARANCE AT MARSCON 2012

Spaff has regretfully informed me that he’ll be unable to make it to MarsCon this year. You all can go back to believing that he does in fact not actually exist, and that he is in reality a “Mr. Hyde” style persona of Steve Goodie’s.

MARSCON 2012 DEMENTIA TRACK T-SHIRT NOW AVAILABLE

With this year’s theme being “Rocking The Apocalypse”, I drew all of the Dementia Track participants representing or being menaced by various types of apocalypses (except for the COG who are seemingly causing them). You can see the image here: http://tinyurl.com/APOCimage . You can order the t-shirt at http://dementiaradio.spreadshirt.com . This t-shirt won’t be for sale at the con itself, you have to order it ahead of time.

None of the funds from this shirt go to anyone other than Spreadshirt. However if you would like to spend some money to help out the MarsCon 2012 Dementia Track Fund Raiser, you can pick up this year’s (and previous year’s) albums at http://marscondementia.com/fundraiser-shop . You can hear a free 33 minute preview of this year’s collection here: http://tinyurl.com/MarsCon12PREVIEW .

MARSCON 2012 60-SECOND VIDEO AD ON YOUTUBE

I used the Dementia Track art I created this year and some familiar movie audio to make a 60-Second ad for YouTube. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghFlLD17Yx4 Please share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

MARSCON 2012 60-SECOND AUDIO AD MP3 FOR RADIO & INTERNET D.J.S & PODCASTERS

Upon Devo Spice’s suggestion, I made a 60 second audio ad for DJs and podcasters to use to promote MarsCon. You can get that here: http://tinyurl.com/MarsCon12ad60SEC . If you’re still interested in the longer ones, you can get the 3.5 min, one here: http://tinyurl.com/MarsCon12adSHORT , and the 7.5 min. one here: http://tinyurl.com/MarsCon12adLONG . Any airplay you’re willing to give them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

“TABLE 27″ IS STILL LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS

Our huge double-wide merch table for the acts of the MarsCon Dementia Track is returning once again, and we need people to staff it. In exchange for your services, you’ll get a free badge into MarsCon for the weekend. Table 27 is just outside the doors to the Main Stage room, and will be open during the Dementia Track concerts, on Friday from 8:30 pm to 12:30 am, Saturday from 1:30 pm to 6:30 pm, and on Sunday from 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm. We will do our best to make sure our volunteers don’t miss out on anything at MarsCon they really want to see or do. We have 4 volunteerS already, and we’re looking for at least 2 more volunteers to help run the table during those times. Our goal is to have 2 or 3 people behind the table at all times when it is open, so if we have at least 6 volunteers, that should be easy to figure out. So if you’re willing to give us some of your time at MarsCon to help the Dementia Track in exchange for a free weekend badge, email me at thegreatlukeski@gmail.com . Thanks.

…More updates to come in the following weeks,
