First off you've got http://eyeofnap.wordpress.com/ , a brand new blog dedicated to arts, music, along with general entertainment and news from out of Indiana! It's not all Indiana based though, so take a look and you'll find exclusive interviews, downloads, unique perspective and guest contributors. A lot coming in the next few weeks and months, so check it out!

Likewise, you've got the brand SPANKING new http://conspiraporn.wordpress.com/ dedicated to CONSPIRACY and PORN! OK, so there really won't be any porn there, but a lot of sexy stuff and probably some naked boobies from time to time. It'll be updated often with science, tech, gadgets, and all kinds of "WTF!" type of information, so please be sure to bookmark and help spread the word!

Tell your friends, let's make this thing fucking VIRAL!!! INDY needs a  boost, that's for sure, and these sites will be updated with cool stuff every day or two...

Have a nice weekend.

-Posthumous release from author, Fortean researcher, and prolific blogger Mac Tonnies-

Likewise, with any luck I'll be a weekly contributor over here for the next couple months; a new website tribute to the late Mac Tonnies who passed away Oct. '09....

The first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll's tale has recently been restored by the BFI National Archive from severely damaged materials.

With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film's original colours for the first time in over 100 years.

(Some think this is a fraud, viral marketing campaign for the new film. You be the judge!)

It’s the End of the World as we Know it:
Interview with cult-favorite horror author David Wellington
-MAD 3/4/10

==========

-MAD: MR. Wellington, it’s really awesome to speak with you, thanks for taking some time with us. I just finished reading your MONSTER TRILOGY and could tell from the start that this is definitely an instant classic of the “zombie apocalypse” sub-genre of horror literature, and just an all together great series of books even if you aren’t necessarily a fan of horror! When did you first realize that you wanted to be an author, and how did the genesis of the MONSTER TRILOGY first come into fruition?

-D.W.: I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I started when I was six years old. Thirty years later, I was getting a little frustrated that I’d never been published. So I put my new book online, thinking that at least people would get a chance to read it. Enough of them did that I got a book deal out of it. I was pretty excited.

-FULL INTERVIEW CONTINUED-

For the 5 people who might actually be wondering what the hell happened to my official website, www.upsidebackwards.info , you may have noticed that it's been down for a week now. The reason being the hosting bill and domain bills were due at the same time, I'm broke as hell, and busy as hell booking local music events here in INDY and performing with my new band Pièce de Résistance.

Anyway, things are slowly getting sorted out but it will probably be another 4 or 5 days before the website is again up and fully functional, with www.upsidebackwards.info pointing in the right direction. If you've never checked out the website before, you really should, there is a ton of cool information and knowledge over there, and it's updated on a regular basis with some of the most interesting and crazy news stories from around the web. Hate to see the place not working, but it's happened before, and will probably happen again. Please be patient, just wanted to leave an update here for those hardcore viewers who might be wondering what the f*ck happened. Site should be back up next week sometime.

In other news, Saturday is my birthday, not that anybody gives a damn. I know I get annoyed with all the LIVEJOURNAL updates of "Guess who's having a birthday?", and "such and such received a virtual gift!" so if you got any spam emails regarding my birthday, apologies. Obviously nobody cares, not that I really care when your birthday is either, so I guess we're even. I'll be 31 years old, but I think from now on I'm going to start working backwards, 29, 28, 27, etc, etc, until I'm a baby like Benjamin Button (and no, I still haven't seen that damn movie. Not a big Brad Pitt fan, though INGLORIOUS BASTERDS was pretty good).

What else? Hmmmm, I guess that's about it. As you can tell I don't use LIVEJOURNAL as much these days as I used to. I'll try to get back in to update here more often, but like I said I'm swamped with INDY music events, which can be found here if you're the least bit interested: http://www.myspace.com/crossroadresonances and already have 5 other sites/blogs to try and keep updated. Until next time...

Oh yeah, one more thing...

Over 30 years of conducting UFO and fortean research, I’ve come across some parti­cularly strange reports that are suggestive of either glimpses into the future through some sort of ‘time window’ or sightings of actual time-travellers visiting us from our own future.
