Yes, I know you guys want details on how to book your Las Vegas travel arrangements for SiglerFest. Yes, I know you're anxious to start planning your glorious trip. Trust me, I want you guys to climb on-board the SiglerFest train too — just give me a little bit more time to get things ready for you.

In the meantime, you can help shape the event by clicking here and filling out this survey for me.

A few things to note:

Information from folks who really think they might attend is the most useful. Everyone's welcome to complete the survey, but it's quite specific to likely attendees.
We plan to record the event for sharing here on the site at a later date. Live-streaming the event is unlikely due to hotel restrictions, but we'll capture what we can and share as we're able.
The hotel isn't finalized as yet. We're trying hard, but it's still not quite done. We strongly advise you to wait until you hear official details in this feed before making any arrangements.
Current plan is for informal gathering on Thursday night for anyone who has already arrived, SiglerFest 2012 Friday and Saturday with informal evening things, and unstructured Sunday morning prior to departure.
Registration costs are not yet finalized, but will likely be ~$40 or so.

That's it kids! Help me make a great event by completing the survey!

Quentin is the most sought-after free-agent quarterback in the league. His agent, Danny Lundy, is fielding offers from the McMurdro Murderers, the Mars Planets and the galaxy's most-popular franchise, the To Pirates. But is Quentin even paying attention? He's happy spending time with his dad, and for once taking a break from a constant focus on football.

In this episode, it all comes to a head as Quentin and Danny sit down with Gredok the Splithead for a final contract negotiation. Next season, will Quentin suit up in something other than the Orange and the Black?

THE QUEST FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLER LIST:
Junkies, we did not make the list with NOCTURNAL. It's a major let-down for me, I won't lie. I spend about twenty minutes at the end of this episode talking about the ramifications of missing that goal. Things they are a-changing.

Quentin & Co. take on the Lu Juggernauts in another must-win GFL contest. Off the field, Quentin gets to know Cillian Carbonaro and starts to understand what it really means to finally be part of a family.

NOCTURNAL UPDATE:

to Scott on @Nerdist

I'm sure you guys have heard me blab before, but I'm a huge fan of the Nerdist podcast (with Chris Hardwick, Jonah Ray and fellow lefty-bassist Matt Mira), and a huge fan of Hardwick's stand-up comedy.

I was sooper lucky enough to go on @Nerdist and pimp Nocturnal. Y'all should listen, as the Director of Døøm herself was also called to a mic to talk publishing, getting books turned into movies, sports and Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks should star in everything, by the way.

That's Chris at right and me being giddy. Most of the time I try to be all Evil & Cool™, but sometimes you gotta let your fanboy flag fly.

Click to listen to this special alert audio message!

When we announced the 2012 tour schedule, there were shouts from Junkies all over the world: "When are you coming to [insert my hometown here]!!" "When will I get a chance to raise a glass with the FDØ?"

Well, Junkies, now's your chance. We've teamed up with the fine folks at Shindig Events and we'll have a virtual tour stop this Friday, March 30th, at 3:00pm PST. And no matter where in the world you are, here's your chance to hear Scott read from NOCTURNAL, ask questions in real time, chat with other attendees, and even talk face-to-face with Scott. That's right, no matter where you are, no matter how many other folks show up, we'll have room for you too!

What do you have to do? Easy:

On Friday at 3:00pm PST (or whatever that works out to be in your town) head on over to: www.shindig.com/event/37-Scott-Sigler
Enter your name and a valid email address. You'll also need a computer with a webcam and mic if you want to be seen and heard.
If you've got a question, come ask during the Q&A, but keep in mind this is a public event.
If you're so inclined, bring a beverage of your choice to enjoy during the Q&A. I'm pretty sure Scott will be ready to raise a glass by Friday afternoon.

That's it! The Shindig Events interface is super easy to use, and it'll only take a minute to learn how to ask a question (either by text or live on-camera), chat with other Junkies directly, or mingle with the assembled folk.

We know this won't work for everyone, and surely someone will say "but have have to [insert something not-as-cool here]. But it's a cool addition to the tour, and we'll have it recorded as well. We're excited, and we really hope to see you there. You don't know, there might even be a surprise or two.*

*Disclaimer: Surprise or two not guaranteed. The whole virtual tour is a surprise in itself!!!

As Scott and I "grow up" in this publishing venture, we're learning new things all the time. In November, when THE ROOKIE sold out, we learned that there are some folks who will wait until the last moment to pounce, and some folks who will be quite sad very quickly after the last moment that they waited too long.

Since I can help you now, but can't help you once it's gone, I'm doing what I can to say soon it will be too late, this is your chance, gogogogogo!!!

Also, a quick reminder about our Goreline. We get a ton of email questions, but it's always more fun to hear from you guys! If you want to hear your voice on the show, call 206-666-4673, or email an MP3 to media@scottsigler.com.

Along with the glory of professional sports, there comes the heartbreak of the "final cut," when teams release players that didn't make it on the roster for the regular season. Quentin watches as the Krakens finalize their 2684 roster, and says goodbye to friends and teammates.

Quentin also confronts Don Pine about the Galaxy Sports feature story by Yolanda Davenport, the story that paints Quentin as a villain -- because he's taking the blame for Don's choices. Will Don step up and be accountable?

Many thanks to Bruce Press for graciously sharing his photos (most of the shots in the book are his) and to the Junkies who shared their stories of what Siglerism means to them. And mega-awesome thanks to Belladonna420 for her help collecting Junkie stories without tipping off the FDØ™.

GuestGoods: Three questions with artist Len Peralta

Click here to download GuestGoods: Len Peralta

Back with another GuestGoods, this time with artist, friend of DØM, and all-around good guy Len Peralta. Don't know his work? Oh, you will shortly. And you can even grab some for yourself, just like us! (Check us out as Villian vs. Hero below!)

What is GuestGoods?
There are a ton of creative innovators out there, and we think it's cool to share things that Junkies might dig. We're approaching it from the "If you like Scott's stuff, you might like this" perspective. We keep this show short! It's a three-question interview show, and the questions are the same for everyone.

Questions are simple: 1) What's your hot new thing? 2) What's in it for the Junkies? 3) Where can they find out more?

From Len himself:

Thanks to Scott and A for giving me this platform to hawk my wares and basically pimp myself out. I never miss a chance.

A colleague of mine recently compared my approach to art to a “gunslinger”. I found that funny, beca use I have never heard that term in relation to a cartoonist before. As we chatted more, I got a better understanding of what he meant. He meant to say that I just run out there and take chances with my art. I don’t know if a project will end up working o r not, but in the end, it’s worth taking a chance rather than not doing the project at all.

This is especially true of my current art project “50 vs. 50”. As with Monster By Mail (my other original art project), I created it with a specific goal in mind – to get myself to San Diego Comic Con. (Monster By Mail was created to hel[img_assist|nid=5917|title=|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=195|height=250]p pay for heath care costs for the birth of my baby daughter). In the end, I drew 50 villains and 50 heroes and was able to make it to San Diego for the festivities.

Now, in time for Halloween, I’m drawing 50 zombies and 50 apocalyptic survivors for people. There isn’t any specific goal in mind this time around. It’s really just a fun way to celebrate one of my favorite holidays. Folks can order a digital version of the art, or for a few extra dollars, they can get a signed print or even the original pen and ink artwork of their zombie or survivor. All in all, it adheres to my tenant of making commissionable original art for people affordable and cool.

You can check out my heroes and villains gallery at http://www.the50vs50.com. And you can be the first zombie that shambles into the Zombie Gallery. (As of this writing, I haven’t drawn any zombies for this project, so the f ield is open.) You can also check out all my other projects (like my wildly popular nerdy trading card project “Geek A Week” and my avatar creation site Flipface) at my main website http://www.lenperalta.com.

Happy Rapture Day! Before you get beamed up to your magical special place in the sky with Harold Camping, give a listen to these great Goreline calls from Junkies just like you. Warning! If you are offended by the C-word, I suggest you don't listen to this episode.

THIS EPISODE IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK. SERIOUSLY.

There are some calls about Sigler writing paranomral fiction, more info on NOCTURNAL, details on Lacuna Coil and questions about what direction Scott is taking when his current five-book deal with Crown Publishing is up.

Harold Camping says: "These Goreline calls are rapturous!"

FridayFix™: SiglerFest snippet! "Wizard's Duel"

And one more snippet from SigerFest for now. This is one more short story Scott wrote in his senior year of high school, and published in the Young Author's Showcase. You've heard all about Scott's travails on the football field in high school, right? I promise you haven't heard much about this. This one? It has rapping. And wizards.

Again, I'd recommend SiglerFest 2012 if you can make it. It's going to be a grand ol' time fore sure. In the meantime, take a listen to what you missed out on back in May!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Scott here, adding in a note. This might be the most-embarassing story I have ever created. I wrote this as a senior in high school, when Run DMC, Beastie Boys, NWA, Salt-n-Peppa and Kid-N-Play were ripping off faces all over the world. I'd read some of the SPELLSINGER series by Alan Dean Foster, and felt that hip-hop would be "bitchin' " (I belive that was the word I used at the time) as a poetic form of spell-casting. I'm sure I thought this was fantastic when I wrote it. Enjoy a laugh at my expense.

It's a must-win game against the toughest-possible opponent, the defending GFL champion Jupiter Jacks. Quentin & Co. travel to the Sol System for a pitched gridiron battle in the Jupiter Net Colony. Denver was traded to the Jacks earlier in the season: will she be geared up for payback against the Krakens? If Ionath loses this one, they are back in Tier Two.
