Happy lunch break, culture commandos! We trust August is bringing your summer to a refreshing close. On our end, movement has finally begun on the next heroic issue of C-U Confidential<\/strong> \u2013 those inclined should note our advertising rates; space is still<\/em> available!<\/a> \u2013 as well as a related bonus or two to be revealed in due time. C-U Blogfidential<\/strong> remains in near-silence mode as we work hard on those other fronts, but we\u2019d like to recommend a pair of interesting dalliances that are developing as we speak!<\/p>\n

Beginning later today, Thursday, August 8<\/strong>, and lasting through Sunday, August 11<\/strong>, yours truly and fellow Champaign<\/strong> publisher Jason \u201cJava\u201d Croft<\/strong> will once again bring the swingin\u2019 Bachelor Pad Magazine<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to the discerning masses attending the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con<\/strong><\/a> at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, 5555 N. River Road, Rosemont, Illinois<\/strong>! Come find us at Booth I24<\/strong> on the lower level of Hall F<\/strong>, right next to BPM<\/span> cartoonist Becca Whitaker<\/strong> in Booth I25, and be sure to visit CUBlog<\/strong> pals Kill Vampire Lincoln Productions<\/strong><\/a> (Hall F, lower level, Booth K34) and The Cinema Snob<\/strong><\/a> (Hall G, upper level, Booth 301) as you traverse this crazy pop culture cornucopia! Show hours for Comic Con 2013 are Thursday 3-8 p.m., Friday 12-7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-7 p.m.<\/strong>, and Sunday 10 a.m.-5 p.m<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Within the next week, an arcane recording made \u201cdeep within the earth underneath Champaign, Illinois, U.S.A.\u201d \u2013 meaning, of course, the Secret MICRO-FILM Headquarters<\/strong> \u2013 will surface via iTunes<\/strong><\/a> and Podbean<\/strong><\/a> for your listening pleasure. Damian Duffy Hates Everything<\/span><\/strong> is a salty-tongued pop culture podcast featuring your humble editor alongside good friends and C-U stalwarts Damian Duffy<\/strong>, a comics creator<\/a> (The Hole<\/span><\/strong> w\/John Jennings<\/strong>) and historian\/activist (Black Comix: African American Independent Comics, Art, and Culture<\/span><\/strong>, also w\/Jennings), and Eric Benson<\/strong>, associate professor of graphic design at the University of Illinois<\/strong> and co-founder of Re-nourish<\/strong><\/a>, an avenue to explore sustainable practices in communications design. While the upcoming Episode 6<\/strong> is primarily an excuse for misters Duffy and Benson to razz Mr. JaPan<\/strong> for sitting out Episodes 3-5, it is that run which will give you the best idea of what we\u2019re attempting \u2013 quick and snappy conversation with smart (aleck) ideas and a bit of underlying heart. DDHE<\/span> is a work-in-progress, no doubt, and we will certainly accept your constructive criticism and unabashed fandom<\/a> in equal measures. Give us a listen when you can!<\/p>\n

So, apparently we have time for pitching retro culture and pretty girls via Bachelor Pad Magazine and bitching about whatever irks on the Damian Duffy Hates Everything podcast, but not draft new material for C-U Blogfidential. Well, except for this. We’re confused.
