Beside the silly Kim question, I came up with a few at work today
1 When The Venture Bros. ends, what sort of project would you like next.
2 I ,for one, would love to see the original Team Venture in their prime. Is there any intrest in a Rusty Venture animation/comic something?
3 What has been the strangest fan encounter? any unexpected celebrity fans?
4 For Doc- Have you been able to see "The Gross Clinic" since its restoration and any thought on Eakins
5 Who would you cast in a Venture Bros. film?

For those still reading this I did eventually get to talk to them, though on Monday afternoon after the convention was over. I posted some stuff about it on tumblr: http://mantiseye.tumblr.com/post/11613635548/heres-a-fun-behind-the-scenes-in-the-adventures
I have no idea when I'll get the interview up, but hopefully within a week or so.

I think its located in southern Colorado/ Northern New Mezico-ish. Based upon the outlandish rocky mountains in the exterior back grounds of the Venture compound. Also, because Conjectural Technologies, is in a flat, high desert plateau region not far from the Venture compound. And in "The Doctor is Sin" (Eps. 2, Seas. 3) Rusty takes his hovercraft to (some where near the Mexican border) looking for cheap labor. And in "Orb" (Eps. 11, Seas. 3) The very vague Map-look map (you would not believe how many time's I tried the URL from the episode to see if something venture-relevant will come up on the web) See,s to be in the southwest. Thoughts, ideas?
I've thought entirely too much about the location of the Venture Compound as well. Using the same references you listed, I kinda assumed southeast California or southern Arizona (within 150 miles of Yuma). But considering The Monarch likes to be parked at Cremation Creek and that he wouldn't ever like to be very far away from Dr. Venture; I think the Venture Compound is in central Arizona, likely north of Flagstaff. That's just another educated guess...we may never know.
Total nerd alert here. For those of you who really are completely obsessed with this show, I need some help.
Does anyone have a good idea of the layout of the Venture compound? I've been working on a scale model in Sketchup8 and have been noticing some discrepancies in certain locations.
I know they did a concept overhaul, from season 1&2 to Season 3&4. The compound was very boxy and tall before. Now, and since seasons 3&4 the main building and corridor resembles the 1964 GM World's fair exhibit. (Which I like better, because the compound is sleeker, and more coherent in its design. Rather than being a big stalky splotch of windows and shapes.)
Example 1: The Venture bathroom seems to change its orientation. The doors to it have been: from the boy's room, Rusty's room, and the hall way. But its orientation changes from time to time. Example 2: The X-1 Hangar location seems to be lucid as well. There are 2 hangars, one near the venture home, and another out back of the compound near the airstrip.
I realize that it's just a show, and crazy to pick it apart. If anything, it can give a nod to the outrageous quality in the background artwork for this show. And for some of you, highlight the unique depth that goes into making every detail. I love this show violently, but hey, feel free to tell me: "hey guy, that's just a little crazy, so put the banana down pal." lol But, I'm just looking for a little input.

I would repost this in the community section: http://mantiseye.com/community

Yeah, 'discussion thread' is sort of nebulous when there aren't any episodes airing. I also need to think about how those things will be structured with the community section. I am thinking of having all comments appear in the community section, so whenever there's a new news item a new thread will appear in there and people can reply.
Still have ~8 months to figure it out though!
