We at CLP made a conscious decision to stop buying a table there last year, but we just can't stop showing up for a day to say hi to old friends and such. Here's our 2008 report, with shaky stomach-churning video; here's the 2007 report (our last year exhibiting there).

Then it was a link-farm, then the economic downturn apparently made it not such a hot idea to sit on thousands of domains hoping their previous owner would shell out big cash. Then Carter and I were talking about changing our busines cards, since they still mentioned our long-dead alternate blog.Then I thought--http://www.creatorsondemand.com/2009/07/hahahahahaha-were-back.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (John Ira Thomas)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345683.post-9023131075194343743Mon, 02 Apr 2007 19:18:00 +00002007-04-02T12:19:54.398-07:00Ah Registerfly. What hasn't been said about them? Well, in the midst of their meltdown, they seem to be taking this domain with it. So if this turns to porn sometime, sorry. Our main blog at www.candlelightpress.net is still there and considerably more active.

To make a long story short, I've been rooting for the Tigers since I was in the 6th grade. I haven't really shown it in at least 15 years (man, those were some lean LEAN years). Anyway, this new team is rollin'. I'm not bustin' out the D hat until they win it. Don't want to jinx them.

I am now in Portland, Oregon. Furreal. I guess I run CLP NW.Anyway, lots has happened after my departure... sounds like the others have had their hands full and had a lot of fun along the way.I thought I might take a moment to let you all see where David and I live now.Portland is just south of the Columbia River, on a tributary called the Willammette (rhymes with "goddammit"). http://www.creatorsondemand.com/2006/08/jdog-lives-somewhere-else-now.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jeremy Smith)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345683.post-115556792718277446Mon, 14 Aug 2006 14:59:00 +00002006-11-09T18:14:23.736-08:00Okay, I gave in to temptation. Folks who know me know of my love of NEUTRO, a very silly comic with a short lifespan.Recently, Gene Colan announced that he's retiring from comics and is doing a last chance sale on doing character sketches. I am weak, and Gene is great. I haven't been this excited since getting Fred Hembeck to do a complete cover recreation of NEUTRO #1!--Johnhttp://www.creatorsondemand.com/2006/08/okay-power-of-neutro-compelled-me.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (John Ira Thomas)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345683.post-115219855945146343Thu, 06 Jul 2006 14:54:00 +00002006-07-26T12:04:59.350-07:00So, there is stuff being beamed through the air right now.

I'm getting there. Nikki Harris will be done in time for San Diego come Hell or High water (I hope). She's been a tricky girl to work with, one of the more detailed characters that I've worked on. It's coming together. Crossing fingers. I'm also excited again about comics.

It's a Lesbigay community mag, a little more "USWeekly" than the drier (but excellent) ADVOCATE. That's a photo of me you'll find on the upper left when you get to the INSTINCT site. Honest.

After chopping the tops off two buildings in a row it would hop up over a parking ramp and an apartment building and rip the roof off St. Pat's church.

The CLP crew is safe and sound, but the tornadoes that hit the area on April 13th will be remembered for a long time. Just check this set of pictures out.Weird thing is, that this sort of destruction has been the subject of many comic book stories that I wrote in http://www.creatorsondemand.com/2006/04/so-yeah-about-that-end-of-world-thing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Coach Carter)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345683.post-114459397552535737Sun, 09 Apr 2006 14:40:00 +00002006-04-09T07:48:21.930-07:00Sunday morning. Sun is up, birds are singin', tea is on and oatmeal on the way. You would never suspect that the apocalypse was right 'round the corner? Oh, what will it be? Nuclear annihilation? Natural disaster? Plague? Famine? Solar flares? Or maybe just a good ol' alien invasion courtesy of some brain-eating slugs? Sure, I like that one better. Go see this movie, see what I mean.
