10.08.09 by Widge @ 11:22 pm So today's been thrown into chaos by two very cool events in a twenty-four hour period. The second was a kickass open mic night at a place here in Baltimore called Peace and a Cup of Joe. More on that in a bit. But for now, the first cool thing that happened was showing up to the Poe vigil early early this morning and finding there was a bit of an open mic there as well. So I did what any of you would have done... Direct link for the feedreaders. Since I'm sure the audio wouldn't be any fun at all to listen to coming down the feed, the downloadable/listenable MP3 is a previous recording I did of the poem. But with the video, I think I'm not cheating. So it's all good. You can download it directly here. And to subscribe to the 32 Days of Halloween audio feed, here you go. Categorized as: Podcasts

10.07.09 by Widge @ 8:46 pm  This H.P. Lovecraft classic was originally serialized in multiple parts, so I don't feel bad about breaking it up for this. While fun to read, there's not a lot to work with on an emotional level, which is...a change from what I normally like to read. But it is Lovecraft, so what can you do? Enjoy.

10.04.09 by Widge @ 7:56 pm  Okay, so for this one you need to know your hoaxing history. You can read the whole story here, but the gist is this: there was this guy who decided to pull a fast one and screw with the heads of people who believed that there were once giants roaming the planet. He had a giant man carved out of stone--and the giant would have been over ten feet tall if it had been, you know, an actual living thing at one point. He distressed it to make it look like it had been stuck in the ground for a long time and then waited for somebody to dig it. Once dug up, the guy made a ton of money charging for people to come take a look at The Cardiff Giant, aka The Petrified Man. The hilarious bit is that P.T. Barnum decided to get in on the act and made a fake of the fake and so two fake giants, one real fake and one doubly fake, were on tour at the same time bringing in money. Finally, the hoax was revealed and both "giants" are still extant today. Enter Mark Twain...and this story. Now you know. You can download it directly here.
