The GoGreenMachine.Org "I DIDN'T GET TO GO TO COMIC CON-TEST" 2009!

You know…the only thing I like better than being the administrator of the best TMNT blog in the world…is giving stuff away on the best TMNT blog in the world!

That’s right! Ladies and Gentleman! I proudly present to you, the first (maybe) annual, GoGreenMachine.Org “I DIDN’T GET TO GO TO COMIC CON-TEST”!

We know many, many of you did not get to SDCC this year. And we at GGM feel sorry for you! So sorry in fact, that we want to give you something to make you feel better! You poor poor emo kid!

We are going to give away THREE sets of the following prize package:

Mike Dooney
Tristan Jones
Andres Ponce
Dario Brizuela

ANNNNNNNNND! (Did he say AND?) YES, ANNNNNNNNND!
a print of the Famous Talbot piece “Shadow-Splinter-Casey-April” Signed by Eric Talbot himself!

I know what youre saying, “Holy poop Stephan! That is one heck of a prize package! How do I gets me one?”

I’m glad you asked! All you have to do is tell us a story about why you didn’t go to San Diego Comic Con this year. But there is a catch! YOUR ANSWER MUST BE FICTIONAL! That’s right. We want you to lie to us. We want you to tell us the biggest, craziest, unbelievable lie your sick twisted brain can muster! Because let’s face it, the REAL reason you didn’t go is probably really lame and boring. And who wants to read lame and boring?!

Just like all of our contests, winners will be chosen at random (the ol’ name in a hat routine). The 3 winners will receive the above prize package, and have their big ol’ whopper of a story posted on GoGreenMachine.Org for all to see!

Please send your Name, mailing address (in case you win), and story to Stephan@GoGreenMachine.Org

Please have your story submitted to us by Monday, August 10th! (That is two weeks from today). Please keep stories to about a page in length.

YOU CANNOT ENTER THIS CONTEST IF YOU ATTENDED SDCC09 (I know who you are!) If we catch you trying to enter and you attended, you will be disqualified from this AND ANY FUTURE GGM CONTEST (trust me, so not worth it).

As Always, GoGreenMachine.Org writers are also not eligible.

GET TO LYING!

Huge Thanks go out to Rob Longert of Peppercom, Mirage Studios, Kevin Eastman, and Eric Talbot for supplying prizes!

SDCC09 Thursday (Or, Everything That Could Go Wrong, Did)

Hi guys!

First of all, I want to thank Terminator for being so on the ball with the technical difficulties update for me today. Let me expand on that situation.

So despite the fact that the convention promoted “Free WiFi” on their site prior to opening day, they neglected to mention that pretty much the only place the WiFi works is in or around the Press room. Meaning that, upon entering the conference rooms area, I quickly noticed that I couldn’t even load a webpage, let alone stream a video. That is also why it is taking me so long to upload Kevin’s Panel. I couldn’t upload to our Youtube channel from the con, so I am staying up (really Effing late!) to get this stuff out to you guys. Please keep an eye out over the next few hours on our youtube channel for Kevin Panel updates.

That having been said, lets tide you over with some pictures.

So first is a shot of the front of the line for Kevin’s Panel. I was quoted as saying before the line started forming, “As much as I love Kevin, I’m not sure how many people are going to show up to this…

Open mouth…

100_2781

Insert foot…

100_2782

Mmmmhmmmm…

Still Going…

Anyway, you get the idea…Crap-ton of people.

The panel itself started with some pretty standard turtle history stuff, and Kevin being as gracious and humble as ever in regards to fan appreciation. He showed a slide show with a bunch of photos from back in the day. Some I had seen, but many I had not.

He then went into a few new projects that Heavy Metal is working on. War of the World Goliath, and The Heavy Metal Movie. Can’t begrudge the guy a good PR opportunity. This being a TMNT blog however, I am not going to spend too much time covering them, and simply urge you to check out http://www.heavymetal.com if you want to know more.

Well, I am busy trying to get these videos out to you guys, so i am going to turn my attention to that rather than spending time doing this little slideshow for you guys. However, the photo dump from today can be found here. YOu’ll find picture of all sorts of stuff in there including the Mirage booth and the con exclusive prints they had out (ore on those later when I am not beating my head against the wall).

Much love.

Stephan
