Hey folks,

I've been working on a few neat things lately, mostly putting together the nominee list for the 2009 Fork The Mainstream Awards to be given out before the end of the year! It's a pretty neat award, it's actually a golden fork on a Ramen Noodle Base. It's gonna go to the very best musicians/artists/comedians that have submitted work to the Starving Artist's Guide. More details and a list of nominees later this week.
Right now, I'm more concerned about the upcoming deaths of consumers that are absolutely hell-bent on getting a great "Black Friday deal." Here's the situation, as it unfolded last year:



Don't let this be you! If you're really interested in Black Friday deals, but don't want to be trampled to death by crazed Zombie Consumers, check out http://bfads.net/ This site catalogs all of the Black Fridays Deals, and a lot of them are available for you in your PJ's with a nice mug of coffee surfing the web. There are a couple of awesome ones, like an $80 10MegaPixel Camera that you'll save $40 off the regular price. There's also the website PropertyRoom.com in which you get great deals on seized items from Johnny Law. It's pretty sweet, and I got a Cannondale Bike for $130 from it. Now that's a deal. Not to mention, it doesn't add to the overflowing garbage heaps all around us, which some call New Jersey. Just kidding!

Whichever way the wind blows, be safe this Holiday Season!

Johnny
