Possible Oscar

The 2010 MarsCon Demen­tia Fundraiser is at 90% of its goal. You guys are doing great! How­ever, we still need a bit more.

We have until Fri­day, 1/15 to reach the goal or some artists might have to back out because their won’t be enough funds to cover everyone’s lodg­ing (keep in mind the artists are trav­el­ing to MarsCon at their own expense). You can help by pur­chas­ing the MarsCon 2010 Demen­tia Track CD/MP3 set, or by mak­ing a dona­tion at MarsConDementia.com.

While Pos­si­ble Oscar is not per­form­ing at MarsCon 2010 because Jared and John are per­form­ing with their other band, The Nick Atoms, we still want to sup­port the other musi­cal acts that are mak­ing the trek to Min­nesota. To that end, we present this pub­lic ser­vice announce­ment from the great Luke Ski:

The MarsCon 2010 Demen­tia Track Fund Raiser CD/MP3 set is now for sale!

Aside from the Music Guest Of Honor, MarsCon doesn’t have the bud­get nec­es­sary cover the hotel or travel costs of the dozen or so com­edy music acts that come in from across the coun­try to per­form at MarsCon. The mem­bers of the con staff are awe­some, and they help us out in many other great and impor­tant ways, but being a fan run con of 800 or so atten­dees, they just can’t pro­vide our demen­tia track per­form­ers with leer jets, limo rides, and an unlim­ited sup­ply of bacon (no mat­ter how many times I ask them for the bacon). That’s why three years ago we started the MarsCon Demen­tia Track Fund Raiser CDs, which is set up to raise money to cover the hotel room costs for those acts who are com­ing in from out of town, as a way to help take care of at least one of the two big costs involved for them to come out and rock the house.

Here’s what he have for this year:

Con­tinue for com­plete track listing »

Hey, folks! It’s been a while. We’re here with news of the Dr. Dememto Show Funny 25 for 2009, a list that was dom­i­nated by our col­leagues at The FuMP. We made an appear­ance in a sup­port­ing role for Bald­box at #12 with “USF’nA (Geo­graph­i­cally Cor­rect Ver­sion)“. Keen!

Okay, back to her­mit mode. We’ll catch up again in 2010.

You may have seen the list of per­form­ers sched­uled to appear at MarsCon 2010. You may have also noticed that Pos­si­ble Oscar is not on that list. Yes, it’s true: we are not appear­ing at MarsCon 2010.

The main rea­son for our absence is the fact that Jared and John are appear­ing in that other band thing they do, The Nick Atoms. We’ll be per­form­ing an hour set as MarsCon 2010’s musi­cal guests of honor. This show promises to be a audio/visual feast for the ages — or at least a way to ride out your evening buzz before head­ing to the 13th floor to refill your tankard.

This marks the first time Pos­si­ble Oscar has not per­formed at MarsCon since our incep­tion. I have it on good author­ity we’ll be back in 2011. Who knows, we might even have some new mate­r­ial by then.

Thanks for stick­ing with us. Now get out there and pre-register for MarsCon 2010 before the rate goes up after 10/31.

Pos­si­ble Oscar recently released a new rock anthem enti­tled “Rock Is FTW!” We know the song has already changed your life for the bet­ter, and we can think of no bet­ter way for you to express that change than by cap­tur­ing it on video. With that in mind, we are pleased to announce the “Work Is For The Weak, Rock Is FTW Video Con­test.”

The process for entering:

1. Record a video of your­self doing a rock pose or per­form­ing other rock behav­ior at work. Use our song as inspi­ra­tion for what is con­sid­ered rock behavior.
2. Upload your video to YouTube with the phrase “Pos­si­ble Oscar Rock Is FTW” some­where in the title and description.
3. Com­ment on the con­test post with your name, email address, and a link to the YouTube video. Feel free to include a story of your best work-related rock rebellion.

This video con­test is your chance to demon­strate to us that you are a full-fledged dis­ci­ple of the “Work Is For The Weak, Rock Is FTW!” creed. Addi­tion­ally, we may use your video clip as part of the music video for “Rock Is FTW!”

We will select the best video from entries sub­mit­ted by Octo­ber 16, 2009. The win­ner will receive the forth­com­ing “Work Is For The Weak, Rock Is FTW!” T-shirt free of charge in a size of his or her choosing.
