The Songs of Johnny Go

After my week of struggle and angst culminating in the latest LJ entry, leave it to chickenhat to make my day:



I'm utterly moved. As Bloo remarked, "I want buttons."

And speaking of Bloo...

In addition to my new poster/postcard design, Bloo and I started batting around a couple other ideas. She was wondering if there was some way I could play with that "in the shadow of Hugh Hefner" motif, maybe having the shadow of a bunny (HARVEY-style?) behind me or something. I turned down that idea, then jokingly remarked that I might hand out black postcards, just pitch black, and say "That's a photo of me in the shadow of Hugh Hefner."

Then we came up with doing a separate series of teaser postcards. No image, no info on the front, just black matte postcards with the sentence, "Meet the Black Sheep of the White Bunny Family." The text would be white, but the word "black" would be in a darker shade of black than the rest of the card, and glossy too. That just might stand out and pique curiosity amid all the other postcards.

Two sets of postcards. Yeah, this just might work after all.

Now I'm just going to need to step up the marketing of HOW HEFNERIAN when I do it in Orlando. Maybe do an illustrated guide of what is and what isn't Hefnerian, ala those "Do/Don't" pictorials. Do it in three columns of images: "Comedy," "Tragedy," and "Hefnerian."

Heh. Once I get back to work after my break, let's bump this shit up a notch. Bam!

The Gotham Times have been updated! Which means if you click the "h" in "Gotham" on the headline, you'll see a certain someone has updated something as well.

Meanwhile, Concerned Citizens for a Better Gotham, a mysterious group of "100 concerned businessmen, police officers, and residents" have launched a Swift-Boat-style smear campaign against Harvey Dent. In response, ADA Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal!) holds a press conference to defend Harvey Dent and refute these allegations.

I really hope we see more of the actors do spots like this in character. How cool would it be if Aaron Eckhart pulled a "Borat" and started appearing on talk shows in character as Harvey Dent?

Sadly, the joke would be lost on your average person, which is why more and more, people (mainly the joyless asshats at chud.com) have been bitching about how pointless all this marketing has been, that no one cares other than the hardcore geeks, how it'll have no real effect on the masses. On one hand, they're probably right. On the other hand, eat a bag of dicks.
