Posting this here primarily because I want to make damn sure I use it for something. Just no idea what yet. Filed under: Writing Fodder

First day of the Art Festival is over and it went quite well, I thought. Sold some books, got to do a reading…the gas money for the trip home is covered, that's all that matters. For those folks who might be visiting looking for information on the books, you can find them at the following places: Mystics on the Road to Vanishing Point is available online under a Creative Commons license here or from Amazon in print form here. Magnificent Desolation is available online under a Creative Commons license here or from Amazon in print form here. That's right, you can read the books for free. No, I'm not nuts. If you like them, however, feel free to bookmark shop.needcoffee.com for when you shop online (because we get kickbacks), or heck, if you are in college or something and have no money then you can do other stuff that spreads the Needcoffee/One Tusk love. Either tell your friends about the books (or your enemies if you hated them) or you can bookmark help.needcoffee.com to do stuff that probably won't cost you a dime. I'm easy. Filed under: Projects

At the Riverside Art Festival, I'm appearing in the Writer's Tent. I'll be there from 10-4 today and tomorrow. It's happening at Riverside Park at the intersection of Riverside Avenue and Post Street. I have some of my books to sell and the sites here to promote and I'll be doing readings. They have them at thirty minute intervals but say they only last 15 minutes, so I'll try and run over if there are people listening. 1:30pm today and 2:30pm tomorrow. Huge thanks to Rox of Spazhouse for setting this up for me to come and shill. I'm also available for weddings and bar mitzvahs. Filed under: Projects

Okay, here's some fun. Check this out: somebody sent me this out of the pocket program:  Wow, this looks really cool: a panel on fight scenes (which I've written and can speak to how hard it is to do properly), a panel on the apocalypse (badass! I've written apocalypse stories, shit yeah!) and a panel on killing characters (I've done that too! Rock!). Trouble is this: nobody ever told me I was supposed to attend these panels. That's right: when I went to pick up my badge, I had no schedule printed on the back, nor did I have a schedule in my welcome packet. My arrangement to appear at the Con didn't get worked out until so late that I just figured they couldn't get me on panels in time. So I just went to the Needcoffee panels I had planned on attending anyway. To anyone who showed up thinking I would be at these panels: I do apologize. They sound fucking cool. I hope they went well. I'm sorry as hell I didn't know, because I would have done my best to show. I've also written an e-mail to the track director, explaining what happened. Dammit. Figures. Thanks to Lisabetta for letting me know. Update: Well, I have good news and I have D'oh news. The good news is that's not me. There's a major in the USAF who shares my name (well, one of my names) and that was him. So I feel better. Anyway, if there was confusion and people mistook him for me, then…well, that's cool, actually. Because a major from the USAF probably looks a lot more impressive than I do sitting on a panel. As for the D'oh news, well…D'oh. Filed under: General BS

John Robinson is a writer of prose, poetry and comics who also writes under
the pseudonym of Widgett Walls.
This is my latest book. Short stories written especially for you, or at least someone who reminded me a lot of you at the time.
