Hey, my employer is having a "Christmas in July" friends and family online event. See my profile for url and Promo Code :)
Also, my sample sale is coming up, so if you want me to look for a single item for super cheap, let me know. No guarantees, we never know what will be on offer, but the deals are amazing.
Whedon-inspired improv show next Tuesday, 7/14, in Chapel Hill, NC. (for my & Zenkitty's birthday!) Should also have a streaming link eventually & will share that, too.

Would folks please help spread the word on a cool grown-up coloring book Kickstarter? I want them to be successful, because 1) friends with a cool project, and 2) they have ~future plans~ involving work with me.
Thanks!
Over in the Gaming thread they have very strange mating habits we're trying out something new. After 22 games of Battlestar Galactica, we've broken out a new game, a card game called Race for the Galaxy. This is a card game, where each player is trying to build up a layout (representing a space empire) that will earn them the most victory points. Obviously, being a card game, there's a fair amount of luck involved; but there's also wide scope for meaningful decision-making, and multiple viable strategies. (It is one of my favourite games; Biyi and I have probably played it more than any other game.)
We've run one game so far. It took about 21 days to play through. I'm in the pricess of putting together Game 2, and we have one slot left. Anyone who thinks they might like to try it out, drop me a line. I'm happy to answer any questions and to take sign-ups. You don't need to own the game, I'll provide all the info you need and take an active role in explaining what's going on. In addition, scans of every card in the game are available online: [link]
If you've ever wondered what actually goes on in the Gaming thread, now's your chance. First in, first served.
I'm talking about wings and flight and inventors (other than that daVinci guy) who dreamed of soaring, over at iO9 today: [link]
Hey, peeps! A good friend of mine, who, while not being a Buffista, is Buffista adjacent for sure, is finally seeing the light at the end of the unemployment tunnel... once HR gets back from vacation.
In the meantime, she's exhausted most of her resources at this point, and needs a little help, if anyone can. [link]
She's good people. (She's also local, and I can vouch for her.)
Hey there, what's new?
Just kidding... I have to tell you that watching the b.org live book drop was one of the best things last night. You are amazing friends and I love you so.
I made you a book launch present over at Chuck Wendig's: [link]
