Jackson's Playhouse
Time for the monthly update at Publick Nuisance to top off today's abnormal amount of updates. Lots of stuff about the upcoming episodes (there are four left, five if you count State Dinner which hasn't aired yet but is on ASFix), the season two DVD (yes, there will be one) and even... season three? Might there not be a year long wait before a renewal announcement this time? Be still my heart. Jackson also recaps Dragon-Con a bit and answers some questions about the continuity errors present in season two due to the episode airing order (VEN before Assassinanny, and Love-Bheits possibly before Twenty Years) and even explains the sourpussin' joke in Twenty Years to Midnight that had so many of us puzzled. So yeah, go check it out.
We Demand Dragon-Con Coverage!
Okay fine. Doc Hammer has some pics and a bit of a recap up on his MySpace thing. All the pictures are stolen from various people and places, but Doc gives the play by play for each one. The first panel was solely given by Jackson and Doc, so fans got a full hour to pick their brains without any drunken intrusions from Dino Stamatopoulos. The panel on the following day was a complete Adult Swim panel with various creators and writers. I'm sure Adult Swim.com will have video of the events up in the coming days.
Oh, and the episode shown was I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills which won't be airing for two weeks (9/24), so folks in attendance got to see it a full three weeks ahead of schedule. Not bad.

More Dragon-Con Coverage Demanded!
Or in specific, apparently a ton of people from People's Republuc of Venture were there, which is good because we get some news right from some fellow Venture-heads. The main page has a quick writeup and there's a thread with pictures and stuff as well, including a bitchin' Monarch doll. Check it out.
I Love Database Errors
Yes, still having database issues. The dude who runs the server doesn't have internet access at home right now since he just moved, but I do have the ability to restart the database stuff, however I was out all day yesterday after 4pm, so the site was probably down until this morning. Thanks for not complaining too much guys, you're all okay by me! It'll be fixed soon, I hope.
Downtime, What Downtime?
If you tried to get here yesterday you may have noticed the page was replaced by an error message or an error message with a note from me. Yay! The server was/is having some weird database problems that are hopefully going to be sorted soon. So don't worry your little heads! Also I am way behind on the Fallen Arches capsule and notes, but it will hopefully be up within a week. Also once again many thanks to everyone who has sent me e-mail with notes and corrections. I read them all but I don't always get to them for a variety of reasons, but some day I will. Some day.
Fallen Arches Discussion
Another Friday, another discussion! It's 6pm EST, which means Fallen Arches should now be up on Adult Swim Fix for your viewing pleasure. As is the custom you can use the comments to talk about the episode or anything else that strikes your fancy. For you folks who will wait for the TV version (either from necessity or by choice), it will air at the usual time of 10:30pm EST on Sunday. And as always, the comments will probably have spoilers, so if you don't want anything given away, don't read them just yet! Enjoy!
Dragon-Con Stuff (Updated)
As you may or may not know, Jackson and Doc will both be at Dragon-Con this year. It's in Atlanta, and I'm not quite sure how it's set up or if there are booths or something, but it's from September 1st through the 4th, so your best bet would be to just walk around for those four days dressed as the Monarch and just wait for them to find you. Aside from that, the always awesome provider of news and other tidbits HavocWare has pointed out a poster made by Doc Hammer which boasts a world premiere showing of the Venture Bros. (I assume it will be Fallen Arches, but that's just a guess) for those attending. Saturday, September 2nd at 10pm, if you must know. Be there or be some sort of shape with four equal sides and four right angles.
Update (8/31 5:15pm) - Ken Plume mentioned in the comments that the episode being shown is actually not Fallen Arches, but a brand new fresh episode that won't be on the air for a couple weeks. Also Jackson and Doc will be on a panel at 5:30pm on Friday and the 2:30pm Adult Swim panel on Saturday. So now you don't have to wander any more, hooray (you can still dress as the Monarch though)!

Help Me Help Myself
Ever want a life-sized HELPeR replica to take with you to various conventions? Or are you a VB fan but you don't want to look silly showing up to a convention with no friends dressed as Brock? Well, we have the solution to your problems! Our old friend HavocWare has been scouring eBay and came upon a life size HELPeR replica made out of cardboard. I'm not normally in the business of giving eBay auctions free publicity, but this is just too cool. Bidding starts at $10 and the auction ends September 4th!
We Love Lovelace
Douglas Lovelace sent me word that he's put up some season two storyboard artwork. Scenes from episodes that have aired along with a couple things I don't recognize. Very cool stuff; be sure to check it out.
In other news, Love-Bheits came in 3rd in the ratings last weekend with 402,000 viewers (males between 18 and 34), so season two continues to pull in pretty strong ratings even with the competitive timeslot. Always good news. I also have the capsule and screengrabs up for Love-Bheits, but no notes just yet because I am very lazy. Soon though!
