Saw this on Karn’s Livejournal. Too cool not to share.

That’s right. Today is the day millions of nerds across the world have been looking forward to both with anticipation (”Yay I get to make a sweet Deathknight and then go punch Arthas in his big emo face”) and dread (”God Blizzard, I was hoping to, ya know, see the SUN eventually”).

Before you ask, yes I am one of those nerds. Yes, I preordered the expansion from Amazon. I even got the collector’s edition. Though, in my defense, I payed the extra $30 to get the art book inside (Mmmm, sweet Blizzard art) and not so I can have a cute but otherwise worthless zombie dragon follow me around. Honest.

I won’t get to plug into Northrend just yet. As some of you may know, Midwest Furfest convention is coming up quick; Nov 20th is my flight out in fact. So my next week and a half will be split between keeping the comic up and convention prep, and then there’s the matter of the convention itself. I am obviously looking very much forward to going, far more than WotLK. It does bum me out a little that I won’t get to see the beginnings of the expansion along with my guild though. But I have priorities!

Back on MFF, if you are in or around the Chicago area, I highly recommend checking the convention out. It’s a modest sized convention with a really awesome group of artists and dealers attending, and it’s one I always make sure to hit up. I will be in the Artist Alley this year, meaning I don’t have a set location down. Still, fingers crossed I make their table lottery all 3 days, or at least 2 our of 3. If you’re attending, don’t forget to stop by and say hi to me so I don’t feel so lonely.

But for those of you who ARE in the US? Tomorrow is Nov 4th. And all of you need to get yer butts out to those voting booths and VOTE!!!!

If you have any kind of opinion on how this country is run, you owe it to yourself to cast your vote. The polls may seem to show a strong swing right now, but all that can change if enough people decide to go out and vote… OR, in the other hand, decide “hey, I’m just one guy, it doesn’t matter if I vote or not. I’m gonna stay home and play Fallout 3.”

If you follow me on twitter, you know who I voted for (via absentee, since I’m registered in NJ and can’t get out there tomorrow), so it’s too late to change my mind. But I’m not gonna tell you who to vote for. That’s your decision. Nor would I get on anyone for their choice, as long as it’s based on the candidate and not mudslinging. All I care about is that you give the 2 candidates a good look, go over their policies and plans, make an educated decision, and VOTE.

DO IT!!! DO IT NOW!! …err… I mean… do it TOMORROW!!!!!

If you don’t, you’ll make Rex cry.

First off, I’m running a donation promo right now. For the next month or so, if you donate to help out Broken Plot Device, you get your choice of 9 different full-color desktop backgrounds featuring the cast in their costumes; one group shot, and 8 individual pictures, for those of you who might have a favorite character.

Also, I’m offering prints of the colored image for sale for those who might be interested, both in 8.5×11″ prints for $10, and in Limited Edition 13″x19″ for $45. I’m only doing 10 of the big prints, so once they’re gone, that’s it!

If you’d like a print, just e-mail me at LizardbethArt@gmail.com. Be sure to include the size print you would like and your zip code so I can give you a shipping quote. And yes, I will be shipping these internationally for those of you overseas!

On a different note, but still Halloweenie, who out there is dressing up for Halloween, and what are your costumes? I’ll post some shots of my costume on Monday so I won’t give it away just yet, but I’m curious what everyone else is doing. And if you’re not dressing up, what are your halloween plans?
