Damian Vs. The World?

So I guess its time to talk more about my next project...

The way i see it, print is dying.

Instead of trying to do another print Zine or bringing Mostly Harmless back from the Dead, I'm looking to move forward. I'm looking towards the future.

Instead of joining the OCEAN of webzines and zineblogs and podcasts, I'm looking to move forward to what will be the next phase in the punk rock, D.I.Y. Journalism, movement.

Video.

Your thinking to yourself right now, "So you want to start a video podcast?"

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I want to do something MORE than just a simple video podcast.

What I am envisioning is more of a D.I.Y. (i really hope some of you kiddies out there know what D.I.Y. is....) Travel Channel show with emphasis on Indie/Punk rock and cool cities and the different people and things that inhabit these cities.

I want to tour the country and go to cool shows, interview the venue owners/managers. Then hang out backstage, get drunk, and interview the Artists. (ala my A Wilhelm Scream interview over at myspace.com/mhmagazine

I want to go to the different micro (indie) beer breweries out there in the Americas and get drunk and learn the secrets of the finest beers.

I want to travel to the comic and comix book creator's homes and offices and find out what makes them tick.

In short, I want to see the world and conquer it. Hence Damian Vs. The World.

And now Its time. I've started selling some of my collectables on Ebay, and I'm going to keep selling off my possesions in an effort to purchase the video camera and equipment i need to travel the country and make my Webisodes. (Slang for internet episodes.)

I'm also working on making about 6 episodes based out of here in Colorado to help show people what I am doing and to kind of experience the learning curve and figure out just how in the hell we're going to do this damned thing!

So here comes the real point of this message:

So what are we calling this project?

The only damned thing i can think of is DAMIAN VS THE WORLD.... But maybe that is too broad, to encompassing. What do you guys think? Is DAMIAN VS THE WORLD a good name for a show? Is it too much? Should i use MOSTLY HARMLESS?

Originally i was thinking DAMIAN TOURS THE WORLD, but it doesn't convey the awesomeness that this show will be!!!

What the hell should we call it???!?!?!

The only other thing i can think of is pulling a strong, silly word out of a hat and using it.... or or or... I don't know.

So true believers, how about it, Damian vs The World???

Let me know, and stay tuned for more info when i get off my ass some more and get this bastard a rollin...
