Threatdown continues

Where have I been? That’s the question on the lips of every one of my throng of fans. (Well, it used to be a throng. Now, it’s down to a gaggle.)

I have been to the mountaintop. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. The first test cd was burned yesterday. And it was good. The labels with the awesome cover art from zee brilliant arteeste are being delivered to me today by my friend, Cableman. Soon, my pretties, I will have them all burned and shipped to cdbaby. Then, I wait for fame and fortune and forget all about you little people. (Not you. The little people behind you. I can’t see them back there anyway.)

Last night when I got home from work, I kidnapped my spouse and forced her to drive around listening to the cd in the car (ya know…to make sure it was mixed properly and stuff). Actually, I bribed her with promise of a dinner out, away from the gaggle of geeks that had congregated in our home to play World of Warcraft: the Board Game (It’s spring break, and my teens are home playing a board game version of an MMORPG instead of hitting the beach and getting drunk??? Who raised these mutants?) Anyway, the verdict before dinner was “too hungry to comment.” After dinner, it was a lot better. Thus, my new marketing scheme is to take everyone out to dinner before they listen to the album.

This is too much like dating.
