Comic 914 – “#Searchlight Hopes”

Posted on April 14, 2014 by Errol • 8 Comments

Errol: First off, I am SUPER APPRECIATIVE of your support. I was hesitant of putting this comic up because it sounds like I am taking it all for granted. I’m not. I am surprised by the dedication I am hearing from a lot of you when it comes to voting and you are awesome.

And the further we get in this contest, the better chance of us finding more and more of our audience! In fact, just with what we have now, I have introduced more people to the wonderful world of geek music! And not people that needed to be convinced, but those that would actually be interested! That’s awesome!

However, it is tiring. And although it’d be amazing if we did get into the next round, that would mean even more work because I can’t seem to help myself when it comes to this. And I haven’t done my taxes yet either. Oh Well! We’ll find out this afternoon!

Thanks again, guys! And win or lose, I plan on taking the pictures you’ve given me and making it a collage for our FB page! ^_^ So if anyone wants to send in more pictures of #VOTEGEEK, that’d be awesome! Continue

Errol: Ok, I officially admit I can’t keep up. We did not expect to win. I had a comic planned today about FACTOR to continue after yesterday’s comic. And then we got into the 2nd round of CBC Music’s #Searchlight contest. On top of that, we have reader submissions, and we have three gigs this… Continue

Comic 901 – “Searchlight Coalition”

Posted on March 29, 2014 by Errol • 5 Comments

Errol: Wow. It’s been how many days of this contest? And if CBC isn’t wishing I’d shut about this, the ‘serious’ musicians probably are. Hah!

Anyway, there have been some great articles out there covering this. Check them out!

Pop Mythology (who gave me ideas on how to better format OUR voting page)
Geek Hard did a great promo
Nerd Mafia did their own spotlight on us!

If you know of any other blog that would like to do a quick promo, by all means, send them our way! ^_^ And next week? I think we should start letting CBCMusic know we mean business. I have some plans. Any of you guys got ideas? Continue

Comic 900! – “Searchlight Persistence”

Posted on March 28, 2014 by Errol • 7 Comments

Errol: Our NINE HUNDREDTH COMIC! I have no idea what I’m going to do at a thousand.

I know I keep saying we’re not going to win, and believe it or not, that’s not a defeatist attitude. I’m not saying it with secret hopes of winning either.

But I can’t help myself, I want to throw 200% into my projects.

Some people go into projects knowing they will fail, and thus set themselves up to fail. I am not going to do that. I will go in, lasers blazing, and I will go out in a Death Star explosion of glory. I’m not afraid of failure.

Does that mean I don’t expect you to vote? No! With every vote, there is a chance that the geek music genre gets noticed. With every vote, there is a chance that one of us will advance to the next round. With every vote, CBC Music will find out that we have passionate fans!

Do you know what would be cool? It would be cool if Canadian Conventions, who are looking for geek musicians, could look at their own country and think, “Wow, we have a lot of bands to pull from!”

There are a lot of talented geek bands in Canada, and I want to find them all. I want to promote them.

I am not giving up. I will continue voting, and I will continue pushing this. And I need you guys!

Thanks for sticking around for 900 comics. Thanks for being with us all this time. We are small, we are unknown, but we will keep on geeking out as long as we can. ^_^ Continue
