---"WHEN YOU WISH UPON A DEATH STAR"---

This is my third nomination in this category, and if I win it, I'll be the first act to win the award 2 years in a row.

marscondementia.com/fundraiser-shop .
...THIS YEAR'S T-SHIRT IS HERE!
MarsCon 2013's theme is “Ctrl/Alt/Del... Thriving Into The Future!” So, I drew all the Dementia Track participants as computer-related characters from fandom and pop-culture and arranged them on a T-shirt commemorating the 10TH YEAR of the MarsCon Dementia Track. (see the image at tinyurl.com/bcvxy5f) You can get the shirt from Dementia Radio's page at Spreadshirt: dementiaradio.spreadshirt.com . Remember, we will not have this t-shirt for sale at the convention itself, so if you want to have one to wear at the convention, you need to order it by about February 14th to ensure it gets shipped to your home in time.
Please note also that nobody (besides Spreadshirt) is making any money off of these shirts. They are not a part of the Dementia Track Fund Raiser, they are just being made because the fans wanted nifty shirts to wear. Special thanks to “Blasted Bill” Putt for setting up the shirts for us on the Dementia Radio Spreadshirt account. For a closer look at the individual drawings, visit marscondementia.com/performers .
...SPACE ODDITY MUSIC CLUB & BREW PUB INDIE GOGO
Once again, Beth Kinderman and her filky friends bring you three nights of geeky fun at MarsCon, featuring music circles, snacks and drinks, and board and card games in a comfortable, laid-back space. They’ll be open from 7 pm until ‘late’, and they’ll have a P.A. system there, so if any of the filk, dementia, or nerdcore acts want to come in and plug in their backing track devices, you can do a spontaneous show! Please drop by to sing a song, share a pint, learn a game, or chat with your friends! For more details and to donate to help make the party happen, visit their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/pages/Space-Oddity-Music-Club-Brew-Pub/166425813402460) and their Indie Gogo fundraiser page (www.indiegogo.com/spaceoddity).
...FuMP JUKEBOX LINE-UP ANNOUNCED!
In the history of the MarsCon Dementia Track, we’ve had well over 42 different comedy music acts perform, and unfortunately there just isn’t enough Main Stage time to give everybody a 30 minute main stage concert every year. That’s why I added to the schedule a show called the FuMP JUKEBOX, in which some of our returning regulars and new faces from the FuMP & the FuMP Sideshow who didn’t get main stage concerts this year will have a chance to get up on stage and do one of their songs for the awesome MarsCon audience. This year, our performers will be CARRIE DAHLBY, DJ PARTICLE, BETH KINDERMAN, DAVE STAGNER of the Feng Shui Ninjas, JEFF REUBEN, & BRETT GLASS!
...DEMENTIA WATER AEROBICS with KORNFLAKE!
Former radio host of “Coffee And Cartoons”, current co-host of “The Flopcast”, and 2013 Logan Awards juror the always effervescent ‘Kornflake’ wants to add to the geek fitness events happening at MarsCon this year by leading 2 different one-hour sessions of water aerobics, doing workouts set to some of the best comedy music of 2012 and beyond! She’s a certified instructor, and these sessions will be done at a beginners/intermediate level. It’s happening Saturday at 9:00 am & Sunday at 10:00 am. Everyone needs to meet at the door to the pool on the 2nd floor FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE HOUR, so you can all enter together (if you’re late, you might be locked out if you don’t have a room key). So get up, get wet, get fit, and get wacky with Kornflake!

We also have News of the Stupid, and comedy tracks by The Soggy Bottom Boys, Jeff Altman, Mitch & Mickey, Insane Clown Posse, The Arrogant Worms, Garfunkel and Oates, Tangerine Kitty, Paul & Storm, and The Lonely Island.

- NATE BOI SEEKS CRAFTY DEMENTIA FAN TO MAKE ROOM PARTY DECORATIONS
Are you an arts-and-crafts type of person who also loves the genre of comedy music? Well the almighty Nate Boi is throwing a Dementia Radio Room Party at MarsCon 2013, and needs someone to make decorations based on an idea of mine. I want someone to create a timeline of the history of comedy music, with page-sized info sheets about all of the great acts of Dr. Demento Show history, leading all the way to the 21st Century with the FuMP and MarsCon. I have sent my notes on this project to Nate, so all Nate needs now is some eager beaver with time on their hands between now and March 1st to take on the task. So if you're interested in helping out with this neat, fun project, please contact me, and I will put you in touch with Nate Boi.
