Phoenix Meet Up #2!

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 02:10:40 GMT

Planning post for ontd_startrek! :) Some of you couldn't make it last time, and one of you got stranded on the 202. ;_; So hopefully we can get this going!

What do we want to do? I'm up for this coming Saturday or Sunday.

We can:
-Grab food
-Watch Star Trek in the theatre again
-Have a 'Before They Were GQMF' movie night. ;)

(Because I can't get enough of Karl Urban XD)

For ontd_startrek.

Just a shout out if any Phoenix-area people want to meet up and catch Star Trek (again?!!). :) Something unofficial. Catch the movie, grab some food?

BATTLE PLAN: Tempe Marketplace, Harkins Theatre
2000 E. Rio Salado Parkway St 1160, Tempe, AZ 85281

MAY 30th, this Saturday @ 1:30pm~~ woo! (If any of you want to opt for 3:40 instead, let me know).

PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL - aelice@gmail.com - SO I CAN SWAP CELL PHONE NUMBERS JUST IN CASE. Gracias!

My work offers $6 discounted tickets, so I grabbed a few. :) I think normal price is $7 matinee, then jumps higher at night. @___@ Also, maybe we can grab some food afterwards and gush about the movie. I live nearby if we wanna cheap it out and just order a pizza and crash. :P

Question

Who's doing NaNoWriMo this year? :)

1. Have you chosen what you're going to write about?
2. Do you know the ending yet?
3. How long have you been meaning to write this novel?

I'm still deciding.

For musicians/artists on MySpace.

That's concerning. :(

There are 2 kinds of people in the world.

1. Those who need closure.
2.

burningmars could use some loving to help pay for a court thing. If any of you have a few dollars to spare, she has a bunch of anime/manga/shojo/plushies up for sale.

Holy Buddha the kitty sushi set is adoreable.

These 'Do Not Misuse' 'Warnings Are 'Cracking Me 'Up.

*scroll to the bottom*

"DO NOT SCALE WALLS WITH TINY EARPIECE"
"DO NOT USE IT TO LISTEN TO A BASHFUL WOMAN'S BREAST, EITHER"
"DO NOT ALLOW NINJAS TO PERVERT ITS USE"

So many. XD I want to meet the artist who pulled these out of Illustrator.

Art Tutorials

Fri, 09 Sep 2005 05:35:01 GMT

I am gathering a list of useful online tutorials for digital artists to post on my soon-to-be renovated art site, so people have an easier time directing artists to a nice little archive instead of scrambling over Google to find it. (I feel bad responding to emails that ask me to teach them something, and I cant find a good resource to share with them) If any of you can raid your bookmarks and drown me in any kind of digital art tutorial (Photoshop, OpenCanvas, Painter, Illustrator, etc), it would be GREATLY appreciated. :)

Also, basic tutorials in art/lighting/design/etc would also rock. ^_^
