We’re all a little Starstruck these days…
Starstruck: a Benefit for “Gentleman Gene” Colan at The Henry Miller Library, Big Sur. The original off-Broadway sci-fantasy comedy, and basis for the Elaine Lee/Michael Kaluta comic book series, presented for the first time in 25 years!
Saturday, August 15: 6:30pm reception, 7:30pm performance. $12.80 advance admission, $20.00 at the door. Silent auction! Libations! United Federation of Freedom Fighters!
Featuring Lance Roger Axt, Victoria Blaszczak, Arden Eaton, Adam “Pablo” Gonzales, David Manchel, Geoff Mutch, and Barbara Smythe, with Lance Roger Axt, Rob Eaton, and David Manchel on SFX. Your host: Steve Kane of the original community-supported KAZU.
On May 1, IDW Publishing finally announced that they would be reprinting Elaine and Michael’s Starstruck series, beautifully re-colored, complete with the Galactic Girl Guides spin-off as a back-up feature. Bill, Dan, and I were fortunate to see the cover for the first issue before the general public, and of course our response echoed those now found on various message boards: WOW.
We will have lots more Starstruck benefit and audio news as the months progress, but for now we’d like to point you to the gorgeous Kaluta art above. This was the original promotional art for the off-B’way show and playscript. What do you think about it as a, say…compact disc cover? MP3 art, maybe?

Can’t wait – have been a fan since the beginning – would love to hear it in any format – but MP3 is easier for those of us across the water.

Hi Dave, Lance here:
MP3 will be the primary mode of travel, so to speak…downloading is my personal preference for just about anything these days, as it is for my partners-in-crime, not to mention the good Ms. Lee…
The pros and cons of MP3 over CD will actually be the focus of a forthcoming post (which I should probably get to writin’)…

And you can BET I’m leaning WAY forward in anticipation of the Audio Release(s)… Image-guy that I am, I get MOST of my images from listening!

To get such a nice response from the one and only Michael Kaluta…
Michael, you just made my day!
