I have been personally drinking BAWLS for years to get some extra caffeine in my system. There was a time during Katsucon 2005 that we were retty much SURVIVING only on BAWLS and granola bars. Well wouldn’t you know it? BAWLS loves geeks and are sponsoring Intervention 2011! Yep! Not only will be have a brand new video gaming room this year, but you’ll be able to try some BAWLS while you are gaming away.

Can’t wait for the con? Ask your local retailer to carry BAWLS Guarana, BAWLS EXXtra, Cherry, and G33K B33R so that you can pre-game!

You can currently buy the caffeinated goodness at these fine stores or follow them on Twitter.

Visit my table in Artist Alley and get a free button! Details at www.phantomblush.com Hope to see you there!

Tango reports an awesome thing he is doing at the con!

I (Tango) will be bringing a stack of postcards to Intervention that will have a special invite code on them that will allow Intervention attendees to create their own Dreamwidth accounts. Some will be left on the flyer table each day, and some will be handed out.

For those unfamiliar with Dreamwidth, it is an online community similar to LiveJournal and running an updated fork of LiveJournal’s open source code. Normally, the only ways to get a Dreamwidth account are to buy one or be invited by an existing user. The invite code on the cards is a special promotional code with limited uses, but will still create a full-featured free account.

More information on Dreamwidth can be found at http://www.dreamwidth.org. I personally recommend reviewing their diversity statement and guiding principles linked at the bottom of the main page to see how they are different from other online communities.

If you are doing something awesome at Intervention, let us now. This con is for you and we would love to blog about you! :D

I am so pleased to announce that 4Imprint has signed on to sponsor Intervention! I personally have used them to produce my merchandise for my own comic for years. My sports bottles and coffee mugs are two examples of products that came from 4Imprint.

These kind folks are doing Bronze Sponsorship. What does that mean to you? It means awesome! Here is why:

That thar art proof? That’s our owl on a lanyard. Everyone going to the con will be getting custom made Intervention Owl lanyards courtesy of 4 Imprint! There also will be a coupon code in our con book for a really great discount for when you order from 4Imprint!

You guys know how we put this event together with our own bare hands – remember 4Imprint when you choose a vendor for imprintables. These guys believed in us FROM YEAR ONE and stepped up when it counted.

Thank you Kevin and thank you Big O for being so awesome with this!

Do you like cool toys and awesome games? Good! Think Geek and Popcap Games are our next two sponsors. They will be providing fun things for us to play with at the convention. Stay tuned for how you can score some swag at the con!

Go to Think Geek to get the finest geek toys, nerdy shirts, and crazy fun things. I have been shopping with these folks for many years now. How can you not love a place that has a tauntaun sleeping bag?

The mere mention of Think Geek on my Facebook started a riot of joy. I can see that we have moved from “Epic” to “HOLY CRAP” levels of fun.

Popcap’s new game Plants vs. Zombies made a big splash this year for the Mac, PC, web, iPhone, and iPad.

Get ready to soil your plants! Again! PopCap’s fun-dead game of the year is updated and expanded with 20 new achievements and the interactive Zombatar™. Make your very own zombie, then watch it come to “life” in your game!

Stop 26 types of zombies dead in their tracks with your arsenal of 49 zombie-zapping plants! Battle through 50 Adventure levels, 20 Mini-Games, plus Puzzle and Survival modes. Or dig into the zombie-free Zen Garden. The fun never dies!

Support these guys – they supported us when we needed it!
