Farewell to Dick, Hello to Creeps. Plus free requests!

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

We’re coming up on the final episode of Dick Tracy here at Inventing Situations. This very Wednesday (depending on how quickly you read this, that’s tomorrow, today or the past) at 6 PM eastern. I’d give you a recap, but frankly, I have no clue what’s going on in the series any more.

To celebrate, we’ve even got a special set of pictures from the serial over at Wasting Precious Time - go write a story with them now!

The Phantom Creeps Of course, one serial ending means another one’s starting. And the winner of the vote I held with myself is….The Phantom Creeps, starring Bela Lugosi. All twelve episodes. Not just the three you’ve seen on mst and IS. The others will be coming to the catalog eventually. There’s also going to be a change of time - Thursdays at 4 PM, hopefully to catch more people capping from work. Not that we encourage that. Starting 4/26.

To mark the occassion and the 502nd item available for request, I’ve finally moved the catalog/request system out of beta and set the price at nothing! That’s right, zip, zero, zilch, nada. What the market would bear. Go ahead and make a request for the item of your choice to be capped at the time of your choice.

Ok, the other thread for folks to leave their thoughts was junkbait. Here’s a new one for you all.

Capping Cappers

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

After sitting on these pics for far too long, I’m finally going to
give you good people a chance to cap your fellow cappers from our
capfest last month in NYC here, at Inventing Situations. And since I don’t have that many pics, I’m padding the occasion out with a showing of the film whose msting made Matteus come down and caused the gathering in the first place, Dial Comes to Town, then showing the pics another time for latecomers.
The times? Tuesday 4/17 3 PM Eastern and again Thursday 4/19 8 PM eastern.

And for you interested parties, writing on the next wiki msting, Rest
and Health starring Dick York, has begun. The writer’s audition is being clever enough to find the page.

And one more thing, if you haven’t visited Inveting Situations lately, on your next visit be sure to notice the new hopefully easier to read color scheme and nifty buzzword enabled auto-refresh gallery. It’s not just for lurker’s anymore. Though the lurker’s gallery is still available with this link.
