Quote:
We are looking for bad-ass people & artists interested in stenciling around their environment using either the stencil we provide here or any stencil of your own design so long as it features the phrase "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" - image can be included along with the text. To keep things interesting we are prepared to offer two $500 grants to the persons who sends us the most creative photographic evidences of their work. Whoever is chosen for this grant will receive a gift certificate in the amount of $500 to the local art supply store of your choice. Please send all photos to stencilsSPLAT whokilledamandapalmer.com along with your contact info. We encourage you to make and share your own stencils with other via the interweb (a discussion thread has been started for such purposes at theshadowbox.net under Art & Photos). Photoshopping is not forbidden, but we'll give way higher points to those who go the extra mile to create amazingness in weird places. Please direct any questions about this to billhSPLAT whokilledamandapalmer.com.

Re: "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?" Viral Mission Full-scale ARG? Not sure this should stay in "TimeWasters":

(Perhaps the Dresden Dolls are taking a page from the book of Nine Inch Nails?)

Excuse me, I'm just freaking out a little bit at the thought of an ARG with writing from Neil Gaiman. But surely not, right? I mean, no established writers have ever... umm...
...right. Never mind.
/me crosses fingers
P.S. More stuff at http://wkapfm.com/

text by Neil Gaiman
I just thought the book was just about the album
Where did you find that?
Maybe time to check all of the references on the back of the album sleeve....
I'm gonna rename the thread...

SQUEEEEE! I've often considered emailing Neil Gaiman and imploring him to do an ARG. Either that or asking him if he would mind if I made a fan-fic Sandman one myself.
