I have decided to go with the more popular blogging format that a lot of other bloggers are using.

So I will stop posting entries here at the House of American Activities Comitees Forum.

SXSW finalists

That's right, I was up against The Onion, A BBC production, and Nickelodeon...

That being said. The awards were fun. I sat next to some folks from Huge Inc. in Brooklyn, and they were pretty nice people.

I usually avoid talking about Powerhouse stuff in the blog, so that I can keep work and personal stuff seperate.

It's kind of different for me. For the past 10 years or so, everything I have written has been for cartoons- whether editorial, or animated.

The script I am writing is a fairly serious piece, which is something I have not done since I was an English undergrad in college. But it is a welcomed break. I put out about 20 pages today... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Capt Capitalism) http://captaincapitalismshouseofamericanactivitiescomittee.yuku.com/topic/414 Sun, 12 Mar 2006 12:18:14 GMT http://captaincapitalismshouseofamericanactivitiescomittee.yuku.com/topic/415/t/03-01-06-Flooding-Floors.html
Unfortunately, when we got back, the waterline going into our fridge busted, and flooded our pergo floors.

So I have spent the past several days doing this:

The trip was great. I love New York. I have said that it is the only other city, other than Austin that I would want to live in. However, I might have to amend that; it was 19 degrees most of the time we were there, with 22 mph, so the wind chill was like -8.

Here is a play by play in brief:

The idea is "Alabama: In Space"

Not the state. The band.

Genuis, I know.

After going to dinner for Valentine's Day with Mandy, I came home and finished out this lil' CC poster.

For some reason, this has been a hurdle...I am not terribly pleased with the way it came out, but I needed to stop playing with it, so that I can move forward on the serials. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Capt Capitalism) http://captaincapitalismshouseofamericanactivitiescomittee.yuku.com/topic/418 Tue, 14 Feb 2006 22:18:40 GMT http://captaincapitalismshouseofamericanactivitiescomittee.yuku.com/topic/419/t/2-07-06-Dog-Show-Detectives.html
Ok, I know it has been a while, and I apologize to those of you who remain.

Lately, due to some lingering production issues, I have not been able to work on Captain Capitalism as much as I would like... I have been tying some scripts down, and working on some character designs for the show, but there are some things I need to do before I can get back into production on the show, which I will talk about in the next few days.

But in the meantime, I thought I would... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Capt Capitalism) http://captaincapitalismshouseofamericanactivitiescomittee.yuku.com/topic/419 Thu, 09 Feb 2006 10:48:32 GMT http://captaincapitalismshouseofamericanactivitiescomittee.yuku.com/topic/420/t/1-14-06-Mars-a-thon.html
Around 5 we headed to the Alamo drafthouse downtown for the Mars-a-thon. While waiting in line, we were again suprised, by the sheer devotion the real fans of the show had. A lot of the fans seem to hang out at a site called "television-without-pity."

Jennifer, she of Captain Capitalism helping out fame, and some friends were going to Austin's newest hip pizza joint-- "Homeslice Pizza" on Congress.

We ended up inviting ourselves to tag a long with the younger Powerhousers, so that we could try the pizza.

Tonight I left work early and skipped Kung-fu to go to the Austin Film Society's 20th Anniversary party.

The party was held at Austin Studios.



From what I understand, the film society was integral in getting the city of Austin to help it transform Austin's old airport into a film studio lot. Since then, many independent and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Capt Capitalism) http://captaincapitalismshouseofamericanactivitiescomittee.yuku.com/topic/422 Sun, 15 Jan 2006 11:47:47 GMT http://captaincapitalismshouseofamericanactivitiescomittee.yuku.com/topic/423/t/1-11-06-The-Mantis.html

Partially inspired by Captain America's "token" side-kick "The Falcon," and partially inspired by the cover of Raymond Fogg's "The Seven Star Mantis Book."

Damn holidays...

Mandy cooked a nice dinner tonight, we are trying to eat healthier, and went and worked out after the food settled.

I spent most of the evening drawing concepts for another non-Captain Capitalism show that I have a concept written for. Mandy is even getting in on helping write some ideas for it.

Today was a pretty frustrating day. We had the day off from Powerhouse, but I did not get much done. I did some work related things this morning, then went to test out the arcade machine.

On my way to test the arcade machine I discovered our garabge disposal broke. The dishwasher was running and gallons of gross water started boiling up in our sink. I tried my best to fix whatever was blocking it, but in the process, the motor burned out. I temporarily fixed it, but will... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Capt Capitalism) http://captaincapitalismshouseofamericanactivitiescomittee.yuku.com/topic/428 Mon, 02 Jan 2006 21:26:56 GMT http://captaincapitalismshouseofamericanactivitiescomittee.yuku.com/topic/429/t/1-1-06-All-is-quiet-on-New-Years-Day-.html
I woke up incredibly late this morning, and by the time we had breakfast/lunch, and I read the newspaper it was already past 2. I spent most of the day cleaning up, doing the usual compulsive cleaning and organizing that happens when one makes resolutions, and worked on the arcade machine.

Mandy and I decided to go see King Kong at the Alamo drafthouse around 7, and it was a pretty good flick. Despite the vertigo inducing ending...

Spent most of the day hanging out with Mandy and running errands. Went to Lowe's to get L-brackets, and some wood for the arcade machine product. Then went to HEB, and the mall, and then to Academy. It was a nice relaxing day.

We decided to go down to 6th street, to see what was happening in downtown Austin. We walked up and down Congress avenue, making varous stops at the "First Night" event that Austin was having.
