I can haz vendor table sign?

…Sorry if that caused an involuntary flashback and/or a sudden existential terror. “Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.”

Anyway, I bought the sign last weekend. It’s actually acrylic, not glass, so I won’t have to worry about it falling over and smashing into a million potential lawsuits; and I can set it to glow or cycle through a variety of colors. A bunch of the vendors around the folks selling this had clearly gotten their own signs, so maybe it’s more attractive to people selling stuff than people buying stuff. Still, I get to have nice things, too.

You can see more at KATS. I probably should have ordered the battery pack.

Check out Flying Koala’s space at Galactic Con!

Galactic Con! Located at the Howard County Fairgrounds (2210 Fairgrounds Road, West Friendship, MD 21794), June 11, 2022. 10 AM to 4 PM. $10 to get in; $20 for families. Flying Koala will have a table fairly near the replica ECTO-`1, which is always nice to have as a draw.

Come by and check my table out! Or just buy my books now. That works, too.

Working on this backdrop.

Aside from the most obvious point: the curtains are the wrong color. They are, however, what I have to work with. My wife’s already suggested not using all the straps and safety-pinning the extras, too. Which will make the final version a lot less sloppy-looking.

Even as is, it’s worth it to get the sign off of the table, honestly.

TINSEL RAIN Update: I wonder… how do people feel about bookplates?

I did some pricing for them* and the cost isn’t too bad for custom-made ones. But I’m essentially doing softcovers here. Would people be interested in signed bookplates featuring one of these designs, do you think? Either as part of the Kickstarter, or as something I just sell to folks buying my books on Amazon? The answer can be no.

New Penny Arcade race tonight featuring a Flying Koala sponsor car!

11 PM Eastern time. Different car, different color scheme, same inherent coolness:

I’ve been practicing talking like a sponsor. Well, we here at Flying Koala Publishers are just thrilled to be able to help support races like these, and give something back to the racin’ community. We’re looking forward to an excitin’ time tonight; and we wish all the drivers good luck, and good racin’. Stuff like that is part of the fun.

BEHOLD! The Flying Koala digital race car.

For anybody visiting from tonight… TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION will be coming out by the end of the month (click here to preorder a signed copy). But in the meantime, check out my first novel, which is set in the same universe and called FROZEN DREAMS: it will be the best post-apocalyptic high urban fantasy pulp detective novel you will read today. Magic! Elf! Orc! Dwarf! Wisecracks! It has it all.

Oh, and subscribe to my mailing list!

:pause:

Right. Anyway: as the above might indicate, I’m sponsoring a car in the Penny Arcade racing circuit! This Thursday, and the first three Thursdays in February. The race tonight starts at 11 PM Eastern Time, and will be on their Twitch channel here. Pictures of the race car after the fold. I think it looks pretty dang spiffy.
