    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hey guys,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So most of you know I've been getting into the videogame scene over the last few years -- mostly through this Hand Eye Society collective I helped start. It's an amazingly energetic community and full of super-talented and super-nice folks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What you may not know is what kind of games these people make. They're not all first person shooters or sports games. The Toronto games I've curated for tonight's Nuit Blanche event feature ladyscientists, snot-spitting green pigs, ambient orbs and weird landscapes. Everytime I get an excuse I sit people down and show them these games, because they're amazing, fun and beautiful:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://handeyesociety.com/arcadianrenaissance/&quot;&gt;http://handeyesociety.com/arcadianrenaissance/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
...and tonight you can play them on old-school arcade cabinets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If I haven't sat you down yet, or even if I have, you should think about coming tonight! It's at the TIFF Bell Lightbox at King and John in the atrium, from sundown to sunup. At midnight we're having a Nidhogg tournament with the hilarious Jonah Hundert as a ringside announcer. It's 8-bit fencing under a giant chandelier. It's bloodsport for nerds. It's NIDHOGG!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, post-event we will be looking for places to host the extra cabinets we've made. If you know of any places (bars? art spaces?) that would be up for having a cabinet of Toronto indie games available for free play to the public, let me know ASAP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Come to our 9th annual family picnic!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We had a surprise wedding at the first one and every year since we've had a theme -- last year it was &quot;Hats!&quot;, this year the theme is &quot;Marriage ain't always a picnic!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming up on our eighth anniversary we want to celebrate the ups and downs of married life. Feel free to share your recipes for a happy relationship or air your pent-up dirty laundry. Or just eat some of the awesome food, play games, and chat with cool people about non-familial things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Date: Sunday July 4th, 1-4pm&lt;br /&gt;
Location: Grange Park, Toronto, under the trees near the playground:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?q=grange+park,+toronto&quot;&gt;http://maps.google.com/maps?q=grange+park,+toronto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bring: Your favourite peanut-free dish, your friends, games, bubbles, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Susan, Jim, and Sidney&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PS. If it's threatening to rain, please call us at 416 920 3199 before you come: we will put an outgoing message saying whether it's still on or not. &lt;br /&gt;

    <title>our graphic novel launch on Thursday</title>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hey Toronto folks!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We're launching our post-Rapture graphic novel this Thursday May 6th, 7pm, Tequila Bookworm (512 Queen Street West, upstairs), free. There's a nice back patio, reasonably priced beer and comfy chairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first twenty people who buy the book at its discounted launch price of $15 will get a free Sword of My Mouth seed packet -- the book has a lot to do with the urban farming in Detroit, and hey, it's spring! The launch is a part of the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, where we'll also be selling the book and doing panels on the weekend. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shannon's also been doing illustrations of people for their Facebook profiles to promote the launch. She's done over a hundred so far, and is still up for doing a few more if you want one... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See Shannon's Faces, the seed packet and our other promotional gambits:&lt;br /&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hey guys!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We're a week away from shooting our new lo-fi sci-fi movie GHOSTS WITH SHIT JOBS, so if you have some time to get involved check out how you can:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://nomediakings.org/vidz/help_us_destroy_toronto.html&quot;&gt;http://nomediakings.org/vidz/help_us_destroy_toronto.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, I'm a founding member of this great videogame collective that meets every two months:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://handeyesociety.com/social/hand-eye-society-the-quadrocial-social-4/&quot;&gt;http://handeyesociety.com/social/hand-eye-society-the-quadrocial-social-4/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
...the next Social is this Thursday (the 27th, free) and this month's hosts (the dynamic duo behind the game N+) are flying in an indie gamemaker from California, Alex Austin from Cryptic Sea, to show some of his stuff. The Socials are always great rowdy fun but don't miss this one!&lt;br /&gt;

You are invited to our annual family-and-friends picnic at Grange Park.&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Sun. July 5th&lt;p&gt;
1-4pm&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href=http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=grange+park,+toronto&gt;Grange Park, Toronto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;
This year the theme is: hats! Sidney suggested it. We asked if it could just be &quot;hats.&quot;, but she insisted: &quot;Hats!&quot;&lt;p&gt;
So wear your most exclamatory hat, bring some yummy peanut-free picnic food for the potluck, and perhaps some kind of game-playing equipment.&lt;p&gt;
If it looks like it might rain, call us at 416 920 3199 before you leave to find out what the deal is. If it's canceled (as it was two years ago) we will leave an outgoing message to that effect. Otherwise it's on!&lt;p&gt;

Sidney &amp; Susan &amp; Jim&lt;p&gt;

    <title>Do you know young people? Who like the videogames?</title>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;...because apparently, I do not. No wonder my slang is so dated. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Emily Pohl-Weary has hired me to do a videogame creating group for young folks in Parkdale, much like her lively and engaged program for writers:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://parkdalewriters.ca&quot;&gt;http://parkdalewriters.ca&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ideally the participants will be between 16-24 and willing to travel to Parkdale each Tuesday starting Feb. 10th. They have to be terribly excited about making a videogame -- they do NOT have to have any programming skills, as we will be using point-and-click tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe you have a younger relative who's game-crazy? Perhaps you have a friend who works with youth?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's free. All folks have to do if they're interested is email me before January 25th and tell me what their favourite game is right now, and why.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've attached a flyer for it and also for Rose's new filmmaking program. Please pass 'em around!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've been doing this for a while, mostly with artists in their late 20s and 30s:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://nomediakings.org/artsygames/&quot;&gt;http://nomediakings.org/artsygames/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
...and it's been really fun and effective at producing games (10 and counting!).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
***IF YOU ARE OLD LIKE ME BUT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE VIDEOGAMES AND MOVIES!***&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then drop a line anyway. We will be starting another round of the Artsy Games Incubator in a few months and we are starting to make a new lo-fi sci-fi movie, which can involve all sorts of people in all sorts of ways.&lt;br /&gt;

    <title>Kidlet-themed Picnic!</title>
    <link rel="alternate" href="http://nomediakings.net/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/test/20080617092626/"/>
    <id>tag:nomediakings.net,2008-06-17:%2Fcgi-bin%2Fdada%2Fmail.cgi%2Farchive%2Ftest%2F20080617092626%2F</id>

    <content type="html"> 
Hey pals, &lt;P&gt;

As usual we're having our exceptionally fun and frolicksome picnic on the first Sunday of July (the 6th) between 1-4pm at &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=grange+park,+toronto&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=43.652426,-79.39137&amp;spn=0.008415,0.016093&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=A&quot;&gt;Grange Park&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;P&gt;

What's unusual is that there will be a new kidlet there: our daughter Sidney! She is the only person in the world who is a blood relation of both Susan and I, and thus statistically very special. We can almost guarantee she will smile at you.&lt;P&gt;

And in case one kidlet isn't enough, our nephew Luke will also be there, turning 1 year old before your eyes. You will probably be able to see him mature in the couple hours you are there, if you are not too busy eating birthday cake to notice.&lt;P&gt;

We invite you to come and bring a dish for the potluck. Guests (kidlet and adultlet) and games are also encouraged.&lt;P&gt;

If it looks like it might rain, call us at 416 920 3199 before you leave to find out what the deal is. If it's cancelled (as it was last year) we will leave an outgoing message to that effect.&lt;P&gt;

Susan and Jim&lt;P&gt;&lt;p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hey Toronto folks! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
THEREFORE REPENT!, my post-Rapture graphic novel, is launching a week today to kick off the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. It's a co-launch with another comic about the end of the world -- my pal Claudia Dávila has written a thoughtful and ultimately hopeful story called spOILed about what happens when the world runs out of petroleum.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As well as the books being on sale, Salgood Sam will be bringing down the original Therefore Repent! art from Montreal for folks to ogle -- some crazy ass shit. To see his splash pages and the neato flyer for the event, check this out: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://nomediakings.org/events/drawn_out_apocalypses.html&quot;&gt;http://nomediakings.org/events/drawn_out_apocalypses.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
...or read the plaintext below for the deets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also: Have you always wanted to apply your artistic skills to make your own videogame, but don't program? Drop me a line!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jim &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DRAWN OUT APOCALYPSES: COMICS ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A comic book launch featuring two very different visions of the end days, spanning the political spectrum: Claudia Dávila's spOILed is a peak oil parable about a world without petroleum and Salgood Sam and Jim Munroe's THEREFORE REPENT! is a post-Rapture graphic novel about a world without God. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The artists and writers will be in attendance, and their original artwork from the comics will be on display. Books, original artwork and silkscreened posters will be on sale. This event kicks off the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, which culminates in the weekend fair of international artists on the U of T campus, info at &lt;a href=&quot;http://torontocomics.com/tcaf/&quot;&gt;http://torontocomics.com/tcaf/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday, August 16th, 8-10pm. Free. &lt;br /&gt;
Tequila Bookworm (512 Queen St. W., upstairs) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(The Bookworm's new location is ten doors west of their old place, and the upstairs features lots of cozy rooms and an outdoor patio to enjoy their local brews.) &lt;br /&gt;
