There's a mega sale for the Conspiracy on the Planet of the Apes at Barnes & Noble. It's 45% off regular price, so that's most awesome since you will be buying a hard cover.
Oh...I was able to read the novel already, thanks to Drew Gaska the author. I was mildly surprised that it's an illustrated novel as opposed to a graphic novel, because I was first under the impression that it was going to be illustrated like a comic book. It is well written and definitely enjoyable for me. It's such a great time to be an apes fan!! It was very difficult to control my urge to flip through the novel to look for the artwork, but I managed. I love the woodblock prints that evoke the stories of yore I used to read in my childhood. The only bad thing about the novel is that it has ended for me. Drew promises a two part trilogy, I think...if I remember correctly. I hope you can help support this apes project as future novels impinge on the success of this anchor novel.
PZ--I hope to meet up with you at Comicon. Even though the tickets have been sold out, Drew's publisher, Archaia, has taken care of my ticket to ensure that I am there. Yay. I get to put my ape on.
Also...I just placed my order.

I guess the BLAM! guys forgot about me. They were supposed to keep me updated as to releases and all other vital info, but....not.

i only found out about it through FB. I know you don't keep up on FB, but there are some apes there I have to keep in contact with...
As a matter of fact, I feel like unfriending my whole goddamn family at this point.

Oh wow...Even the mutants???? Aw...
On the geeky side of things...I am going to the Chabot observatory this evening to watch the Wrath of Khan at their Planetarium. The kids were going to come along, but since their cousin is driving up from afar, they want to stay home. Oh well. I'm still going!

Jessica where were those pics taken and when and who by ?
In the first photo, starting from the left it's Jonathan astride Blue. The middle gorilla is David astride Ruby. Gorilla to the right is Mark astride Blossom. The apes had been planning this photo shoot for months, and I was told that in order to not spook the horses, they had planned to ride them first and then put the mask on. There were no videos, unfortunately, but there were hundreds of photos taken. I don't know which part of the UK though. I'll have to find out for you.
I think the last photo is my favorite, since it looks like they are on patrol and not everyone's looking at the camera.

This is in the UK:
Oh god I wonder If they're the same troop I saw all those years ago when the TV series was still airing?
No. These are new recruits.
You are probably talking about this:

These gorillas were probably youngsters when the TV series was still airing. But that doesn't mean they can't live the dream!

Oh wonderful. Have they a website or something? I'd love to see this lot in the flesh so to speak.
*eta* I've found them here.

I have somewhere. It was really primitive stuff though.
It was the early 70's and I didn't even know about ordinary liquid latex let alone foam latex. My first chimp masks were made in solid air drying clay would you believe.
