‘Don’t Come Over’ song submission #1!
March 28th, 2007
Wayne has very kindly sent along our very first submission for the Playground Ghosts Reverse Psychology Convention Theme Song Challenge:
Since he is the first out of the gate that also means that his is the BEST SONG of ALL THE SUBMISSIONS received so far.
Think you can do better? Let’s hear it! Details about submission are here.

I’m trying to get better at drawing women. So far this batch (more to come) hasn’t turned out TOO bad. They were all drawn on the plane coming home from STAPLE!, which was a very jazzing, artsy experience.

Drew this (these?) guy(s) while at the STAPLE! show in Austin last weekend.
I’m going to continue posting work here as often as I can, but in order to have enough time for my many other projects, things will slow down a little bit over here. You can monitor the RSS feed, the LJ feed, or the newsletter (all links over on the right) to stay abreast of the latest developments.
convention theme song
March 6th, 2007
The day at the STAPLE! show started a little slow, so we thought we’d try a little reverse psychology:
The great part about this song is that it’s equally applicable to any convention or trade show in any industry. I predict it being a convention classic for basically everyone forever.
Now, I may have a few skills here and there, but I know for a fact that I’m no musician. I can’t play any instrument and my voice is awful. But I know that not everyone in the world is so limited! SO: please consider this an open invitation: if you would like to record a version of the Playground Ghosts Convention Theme (a.k.a. “Don’t Come Over Here”), we will compile an album and give it away at our shows this year (as well as pimp your band/album/group/whatever on Wondermark and the PG sites)!
Here are the lyrics:
—
Don’t come over to look at our stuff
Nothing is for sale you see
We set up this table just for our health
Stacked it high with mediocrity
We paid money to ruin your day
We’re only here ironically anyway
We hope you avoid us, keep your cash in your pants
By the way we all have the plague
(chorus)
This half the room completely sucks
And if you think we want your bucks
We’ll throw your money in your face
And hit you with a shot of mace
You clearly fail to understand
That we’re not here to serve The Man
There’s nothing worse than selling out
Yeah we don’t like you
Get the hell out
You don’t get us, we’re too frikkin rad
I’m pretty sure that you are retarded
Our massive genius is over your head
We hope you walk on by brokenhearted
Better yet just turn around and leave
We’re not here to make any money
We have some endowment that makes us all dicks
And we don’t think your T-shirt is funny
(repeat chorus)
We hate that people think we’re here
To give them stuff to buy
Folks don’t get that we prefer
To make your children cry
We hate that people think we’re here
To give them stuff to buy
Folks don’t get that we prefer
To make your children cry

more poop please

Well guys, I’m off to war! The war for bargains, that is. This weekend I’ll be in Austin, Texas for the STAPLE! convention. My last convention was four months ago in Portland, and that proved to be a pretty prolific time for drawing (as seen above). Hopefully Austin will be similarly fruitful. I’ll show you when I return!
you can also come to the show if you wanna

This from Noelle, who says, “Sometimes I’ll doodle something that I just inherently like exactly as it is. This is one of those things.”
