Posted in Website Updates at 4:59 pm by Amanda Rogers
Observant readers might have noticed that there are a couple of new pages on the website.
On the Downloads page is a section called Banners. Credit for the banner and idea goes to Rain, who suggested that banners would be a good way to publicize the film project. If you wish, feel free to copy and paste (no hot linking please) the striking banner she created and place it on your own web page or use it in your sig line.
A fan art gallery has been created on the Fun Stuff page. Rain has contributed three original drawings and I’ve moved over two original drawings by Shoshi from the Invisible Man Online site. Check out the talent of these two fans!
If you have a banner or artwork that you would like to contribute, feel free to contact me. I can only accept original artwork and graphics with non-copyrighted pictures.

Posted in Jason Makiaris, Mike McCafferty, TV at 6:58 pm by Amanda Rogers
This is cutting it very close for those of you who are on the east coast, but I just got home from work so I’m just now able to post this. I got emails today from both Mike McCafferty and Jason Makiaris. Though they didn’t specify, I’m going to make the assumption that they want me to pass this on to all of you. In the interest of saving time, which is very short, I’m just going to copy and paste each of their emails below.
Hope you can watch and vote!
From Mike:
Hey all,
A double dose of me tonight, 10pm on VH1’s Department of Acceptable Media show. DAM is an offshoot of Channel 101 where short films compete to return the following week.
First I am in a skit where I play…well, I play a rapist (start jokes..now). It’s actually a funny show called Circue du Soliel: SVU so it’s not as bad as it sounds.
Second, I co-wrote a show called “l33t Haxxors” that won their weekly online contest and will be screened on the show tonight. It’s about 2 Elite Hackers who get in serious trouble. Evidentially, VH1 liked it so much that they asked us to shoot a second episode, which will be in competition on www.acceptable.tv. So after the show, log on to the website and vote for “l33t Haxxors 2″!
If you can’t wait to see “l33t” you can see it here,

Thanks!
Mike
From Jason:
Hey Everybody,
Just a quick note to let you all know that a show that Mike McCafferty, Ben Pluimer and I have put together is airing tonight on VH1. Acceptable TV is on at 10pm Eastern and Pacific (check your local listings to be sure).
Many of you know that I’ve been involved with something called Channel 101 for years now. With the help of executive producer Jack Black and
Channel 101 co-creators Dan Harmon/Rob Schrab, 101 has now branched off into a TV show called Acceptable TV which premiered last week. The same principles apply. If you like one of the mini-shows, vote for it and it returns the next week.
Our show tonight is called “L33t Haxxors”. Ben Pluimer wrote it with Mike, I shot it and wrote the music. We’ve already shot episode two
(which Mike and I appear in), and we could use your help next week to get it back in the show. I’ll send another e-mail next week letting you
know how you can vote to keep us in.
You can see more about Acceptable TV and our show at http://www.acceptable.tv/
You can see our other videos on our YouTube page at http://www.youtube.com/shipoffoolsprod
Hope everyone is doing great!
Jason

Posted in Contests, Conventions at 6:14 pm by Amanda Rogers
Time to put on your thinking caps, get your creative juices flowing, and break out the pen and paper because this year’s I-ManiCon features an I-Man poetry contest.
Following are the rules of the contest so, if you’re interested in entering the competition, please read them carefully. Questions should be sent to I_Man_Poetry@yahoo.com.
I imagine that eventually these rules will be up on an official I-ManiCon website, but for now I’m helping to get the word out about the contest so that contestants have time to create their masterpieces…err, entries.
Have fun with it!
- Submissions must be original works related in some way to The Invisible Man (2000); this may be in theme, use of characters, etc. However, no flaming of real-life persons or companies associated with the show, its production, or its airing will be allowed.
- Submissions may be any style of verse, including songs. Submissions must be no longer than 350 words.
- Entrants must be members of the I-Maniacs, a.k.a. The Invisible Man Fan Club.
- Submissions should be sent to I_Man_Poetry@ yahoo.com as e-mail attachments in Microsoft Word document format (.doc extension), 1 poem
per file. “I-Man Poetry Contest” should be in the subject line, or the e-mail may be mistaken as spam and discarded.
- Entrants may submit as many original works as they like.
- Entrants should be sure to include, on each page of each entry, their name or handle as they would like it to appear on any awards certificate, list of winners, or publication. Judging will be anonymous.
- All persons submitting work agree to allow, without monetary remuneration, their submissions to be printed, published online, or otherwise distributed by the contest coordinators, including officers of the I-Maniacs, a.k.a. The Invisible Man Fan Club, and members of the club who actually work on the I-Man Poetry Contest before, during, and/or after I-ManiCon 2007, in perpetuity. All persons submitting work retain the right to print, publish, or otherwise distribute their
submissions in any form they may choose.
- Submissions are due no later than 11:59 p.m. on July 9, 2007 to allow time for printing. Submissions received after this date will be excluded. Submissions will be judged at I-ManiCon 2007 in Los Angeles on July 21. Entrants need not be present to win.
- Submissions must be rated G, PG, or PG-13; anything excessively vulgar or explicit will not be considered for the contest or for publication. Mild profanity may be allowed if it fits within the context of the poem, to be determined by the contest coordinator. The GD, F and S words are forbidden; all others will be considered on a case-by-case situation. The safest way to avoid this problem is to avoid this kind of language. “Crap” is not profanity.
- These rules subject to updating or clarification, so please check back from time to time to make sure there have been no changes; entrants will be notified via e-mail if any important changes occur after they submit, but it should not affect their entries.

Posted in Vincent Ventresca at 8:48 pm by Amanda Rogers
I was going to wait until I had a bit more information about this project, then I thought, why wait? We all are interested in knowing about Vincent Ventresca’s projects, so I’ll give you what little I do know about this film.
The title of the film is Sorry, though that may just be the working title. It appears to be a small independent film, possibly even a short film created specifically for a film festival. If that’s true, I’m not sure what our chances are of getting to see it. A lot depends on what the filmmaker’s goals are for the film. Filming is supposed to start in a few weeks.
I’ll keep my ears open and if I find out more, I’ll let you know.

Posted in Nestor Carbonell, TV at 11:38 pm by Amanda Rogers
So did any of you notice that Nestor Carbonell was in tonight’s episode of Lost again? It was a very brief appearance, but for the second time he played the role of Richard Alpert. So maybe this is turning into a recurring role for Nestor?
