 		[ARG] "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?"
This was on her Myspace Blog http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=90535988&blogID=417116073

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 stencilsSPLATwhokilledamandapalmer.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 billhSPLATwhokilledamandapalmer.com.

All entries due by October 31st at 9pm. The names of grant recipients will be posted on whokilledamandapalmer.com by November 2nd.


The stencil is at http://whokilledamandapalmer.com/WKAPstencil-adj.pdf

This is to promote her album of the same name out on September the 15th, just thoguht I'd throw the idea out there if anyone wants to take part


EDIT: Seems we have some action....http://lostandfoundthings.tumblr.com/ and http://wkapfm.com/



Edit: Moved from Timewasters. -SpaceBass

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?)


Edit: Almost forgot -- NSFW!

OMG OMG OMG

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/

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.

You can click on the far right push button on the front of the old timey radio at WKAP.com and get to the stranger.

He wants to talk to you via buzzd.

 		I am seriously having a Neil Gaiman induced Geek-out! Anyone in the SoCal area going to The Graveyard Book reading/signing on October 6th?
