DC Metro area people, swing by!

So, come over to chadu’s Deluxe Apartment in the Sky-y-y and do more sorting of books and stuff! People are welcome to take anything I don’t want to keep.

Festivities begin at noon and will last until they’re done. Ping me on email for the address and parking info. As before, I will provide pizza and beer/Coke/water (any other beverages, please BYOB).

However, there’s a twist this time: please bring 2 boxes — file/bankers box or U-Haul Small boxes are fine; anything stackable. One’s for me, one’s for you (if you want anything).

The goal for this Declutterfest is to sort my staging area/living room: I’m overrun with already packed boxes that need to be stacked somewhere to free up the space. This includes both my keeper boxes and the get-rid-of boxes. (Again, you’re welcome to sort through the GRO boxes before we sort and stack.)

Also, there’s still 2 bookcases of fresh books to sort through, and a crapload of DVDs.

So, let me know if you’re interested in free books, comics, objets d’art, and other mysteries!

Thanks!

Declutterfest Weekend #1 was really effective. Got a bunch of stuff sorted, lots of useful stuff taken to be used by others, furniture rearranged to aid cleaning, and even a little cash into the “Chadu is SCREWED” fund. (Also, a special pile of “stuff to keep” and “stuff to keep to sell” that I need to sort this week.)

All in all, four three-foot stacks of books sorted, gifted, and collected into boxes. Will make it easier for folks to look through for stuff that they want, and the eventual estate sale I plan on pursuing for my library.

Also cuddles and flirtation with interesting/attractive people. (Yay!)

Good weekend.

Really good weekend.

Since even in the best possible scenario for my future, earliest for moving is mid-January 2014, I think I’ll have Declutterfests biweekly henceforth.

The hookah, lava lamp, Cuisinart, and kitchen aid mixer are gone or claimed, but I still have Hulk hands, artwork, a bunch of comics and RPGs, and a metric fuckton of books.

But, now I have room to stage stuff. And room to clean.

I’m still in dire straits, still, but signs are good!

If you’re in the DC area, take a look right here in a couple weeks for Declutterfest #2!

... continues to impress.

Why? It takes my favorite bits of Silver Age Batman lore, updates it, recombines it, refilters it through it's own specific canon, and does everything proud.

So, yeah.

Behind the cut, for NSFW language, violence, and use of the Banana Splits theme.

Did someone say it's from a comic book? Has it been collected into a TPB?

I am pondering constructing a PDQ# hack for Truth & Justice, along the lines of the Space Opera Hack.

There's a lot of lessons learned since T&J came out -- two whole books from me, and whatnot.

Hm. I wonder if I should build this as the "Hyperworld" hack, and test it a couple times as a pick-up game at upcoming cons.

If I could make that work, it would kinda rock.

(more pondering)

I request and require Patrick Stewart to portray "Spider Jerusalem" in any Transmetropolitan endeavors.
