Trace updates

Long-time Satellite News readers may recall that Trace Beaulieu has been selling autographed copies of a comic book he wrote called Here Come The Big People. Trace recently contacted us to say that he has a new address for orders. Here it is:

Trace Beaulieu
P.O. Box 311
Marine On St. Croix, MN 55047

The cost is still $9.00 (check or money order) for which you receive two copies: one with cover art by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, and one with cover art by Geof Darrow.

Also, Trace informed us that both he and Josh “J. Elvis” Weinstein have left the writing staff of America’s Funniest Home Videos to pursue other projects. So don’t be looking for their names in the credits of upcoming seasons.

Finally, Trace has signed on to voice the role of SYD, an egomaniacal computer, in the upcoming indie feature film TRIPTOSANE. Shooting begins in New York City in November. For more information, visit http://www.triptosane.com.

A guy at Cinematical.com did it…

Meanwhile, IGN.com reviews The Film Crew’s Wild Women of Wongo DVD…

And finally, a New York magazine writer recently tried to put down gossip site Gawker as “the Mystery Science Theater 3000 of journalism.” That’s a put-down?
