Hey kids,

The first show is available for your listening pleasure here.

See what the crew has to say about it here.

And please tune back in on April 14th, when the first big-name guest to drop by will be . . . ah, I’ll let them tell you.

But here’s a couple of hints: Commando, Teen Wolf, Batman: The Long Halloween, X-Force, X-Man, Superman/Batman,Ultimates 3, Lost, Smallville, Heroes . . . add them all up, and who do you get?

Next Saturday’s guest, of course.

Ladies and gents, the Shots in the Dark crew is happy to announce that our site is up and running! You can check it out here.  Or, if you prefer to do the typing yourself, it’s just www.ShotgunReviews.com/shots.  Only 8 more days until our first podcast is uploaded!  Keep your eyes open for more info about what we’ll be talking about, or tell us what you want us to talk about in the forums!

On April 21st, Shots in the Dark (the new Shotgun Reviews podcast - how’d you miss that announcement?) will be holding a launch party in Chicago to celebrate the momentous occasion. It will be a crazy, all-day shindig that will be part comic book convention, part gaming event, part concert… a little of everything that the Shots in the Dark crew loves. Best of all, we’re donating half of the proceeds from the event to The Hero Initiative (www.heroinitiative.org).

So how can you help? We need donations of comic books and video games. The comics we’ll be selling for .25 each, and the games for $5 each. Also, if you’re a writer or artist in the Chicago area, we would love to set you up with a table so you can harass our loyal fans.  If you’re a writer or artist that can’t make it to our event, signed copies of your work that we can raffle or auction off would be much appreciated!  And if you’re a band, then we’d love for you to play a set! If you can’t help in any of these ways, but you want to help, still contact us and we’ll figure something out!

If you want more information on where to send donations, or any of the other things listed above, contact Janelle at NekointheDark@gmail.com.

More details about the actual event will be released soon!

Here’s a bit from an official Shotgun press release that’s going out . . .
