BULLETIN:

Summer is starting to wrap up, many of you are already packing up and getting ready to go back to school (while the rest of us on XBox Live are dancing about victoriously in euphoric chuckles to know our servers will be relieved from the legions of high-pitched whiners).  But, don't let that be a complete downer, perhaps you could use one last triumphant hurrah to properly close out your summer break...and what better way to do that than to spend that ONE SECOND to click the +Fav This With Every Iota of My Vigor button up there!  Yep, that's all you gotta do!  Just push that button, and it'll automatically enter you into the August 1/50 For 150 Raffle!

_{*Up to the first 500 who +Fav this article.  Not eligible for mummified dinosaurs, the Curiosity Rover,
or the seven of you who actually saw John Carter in theaters (though we are grateful for your sacrifice).}

So what's the hold up?  Mash that button repeatedly with delighted squeals of crazed euphoria (making sure of course to hit it an odd number of times, seeing as hitting it again causes it to remove it from your faves...)

"But vest," you melodically chant in unison whilst waving around your #Occupy Middelfart picket sign ecstatically from your canvas book fort.  "In this dark eon of corporate greed and corporations, what lunacy prompts you to be so abjectly clueless to the value of the dollar, and drives you to such Charlie Sheen calibers of disturbingly sporadic philanthropy!?"

Great question, my 2011-locked wielder of outdated memes!  Quite simply, "Because a sentient Joshua Tree (ironically named Dylan) informed me with peculiar eccentricity that the survival of all space and time depends me never ever ever raising enough money to buy all the Skylanders I want."

Oh, and to shamelessly promote this color-me-club August Coloring Contest or something...

_{ANY SPECIAL RULES?}

A few.

By contributing your lineart to this contest, you automatically agree to the rules listed herein, and give permission to the color-me-club to showcase your artwork in the color-me-club journal.

Only one entry per deviant.

Entries must be dated no earlier than August 1st, 2012.

Entries should be received by September 1st.  While we still accept entries through voting, you understand that late entries will be uploaded when the club is updated, and the artist will lose potential votes with a late entry.

Winners of previous contests ARE allowed to participate.  There are no restraints for how often members can contribute.  The game here isn't about winning.  It's about creating.

You do not have to be a color-me-club member to participate.  This is open to the whole dA community!

Lastly, have only one artist submit the image.  Collaborative efforts are encouraged.  However, ensure the other collaborator knows the image will be submitted to the contest, and determine who will be representing the image.

Best of luck, everybody!
