Month: August 2022

The August Postcard is finally ready, and went out in the mail today. You can expect it in a week, at the latest. This postcard project is now almost two years old, and as I continue to record and work with this format as something to express myself with, I think I find new ways to be productive as a creator. It’s an excellent motivator, and I really hope ya’ll continue to support the work I do.

This one features the EXCLUSIVE zer0-g mice “dem0-t ape,” which features our best raw performances, and some information about the WILD tour that we’ve been on. This is a good place to start, for those who are not familiar with the exploits of the zer0-g mice. We have two streaming shows available for you to enjoy coming up soon: one during the September Audio Waffle (stay tuned for more information), and then as one of the acts doing a streaming presentation for the annual Norcal Noisefest. And: you can catch us two more times on UB Radio Salon, at the end of August, and the end of September. And, sadly, that will be the end of the zer0-g mice.

But that’s not the end of the work I do. If you would like to see me keep at this, and make new stuff that you can enjoy every month, the best way it support it is to lend a hand. (patreon.com/austinrich) There are a number of ways to sign up, and you get free merch and stuff in the mail, for every level of support. I will be revising the Patreon very soon, so if you want to Grandfather in under the old system, now is the time!

Hopefully the September Postcard won’t be late. And: thanks for everything you do to keep me doing what I do.

I’m watching Drag Race Season 13, and not a single queen had ever heard of Charles Nelson Reilly. Like, 100% had no idea.

Friends: our schools are REILLY underfunded. If we don’t start teaching our children about the important figures in history, how will they ever learn?

I’m stunned. Like, a Drag Queen who doesn’t know who occupied the upper right seat? How did that happen?

That moment when you realize that you have strong feelings about the song, “Hot For Teacher,” and you really can’t exactly put your finger on why. #WhoKnew?

A friend of mine gifted me a box of comics. (I’m not sure of the provenance of said comics.) They came in a “Fireball Whiskey” box, and while there was a stack that had been cut up for collage purposes, there was a huge box full of stuff that was ready to read.

What was incredible was that, aside from a few things here and there, this box has very little crossover with my own collection. (A few things, for sure… but not much.) And, more astonishingly: I don’t think I’ve read any of this stuff, and it was stuff that was on my radar as a 15 year old, but not really since.

I don’t have the HIGHEST hopes for the overall entertainment values of these comics. They’re beat to hell, there’s a lot of duplicates, and no complete runs. (Only a few issues of any given series.) So the entertainment value is probably fairly low. Still, as someone who went through a period where I would have LOVED to own all of these, I have a feeling that there will be more than just the Animal Man and Doom Patrol to entertain me.

Here’s a vid. Are there any DC Nerds in my friend group?
