All Day Pizza Buffet: Rock Band. Plus, my musical career!

Ohtis: it’s music!
I don’t normally transcend nerdiness on this blog, but since there’s actually a very cool tie-in here, I figured “Why not?!”
Ohtis is a little band out of Bloomington, IL and a real good listen for anyone who’s down with some poppy Folk Rock. Their most recent, self-released effort is entitled “If This Country Had A Heart, That’s Where I Was Born” (a title that really appeals to this Midwestern born-and-raised blogger) and features album art by my good buddy Seaby Bess.
Seaby, as long time Loudest Monkey readers will remember, is the man responsible for my ridiculously rad blog logo.
So ok, yeah, this post is a bit of shameless promotion for a friend (who’s now playing with Ohtis, as well) and the band (which I’ve just heard is performing at this year’s South by Southwest), but I’ve been binging on the available tracks at their MySpace music page and figured you all could use some tunes to go along with your blog reading (Also, for Ohtis bloggy goodness to accompany the tracks, head to http://ohtis.com/!).
And hey, if you like what you hear, grab the tracks over at Amazon or grab the disc at Undertow Music Collective’s site.
Ok, that’s it for now, time to get back to those comics!
It’s time for…THE FIRST SEMI-ANNUAL LOUDEST MONKEY COLORING CONTEST!
Alright folks, get your crayons out!
‘Cause I just love coloring, I’m officially announcing the first ever—and semi-annual—Loudest Monkey coloring contest!
My good buddy Seaby Bess worked up my rad logo and the I love it in classic black and white, but I’d love to see some color on this baby!
Here’s the skinny…
• Take the above Loudest Monkey image (or click HERE or HERE (to DL the image if on Firefox or IE) for it) and color it in any way that strikes you as fun and original (I’m partial to crayon, but any form of coloring is not only more than fine, it’s encouraged! Go nuts on photoshop or MS Paint…whatever!). Clicking the picture to enlarge the image and then printing it should work pretty well. It’s a pretty decent file size, so it should work out alright in electronic formats too!
•Send your image to TheLoudestMonkey[AT]gmail[DOT]com. All entries must be electronic, preferred as a JPEG no more the 250KB (get your crayon versions and painted versions scanned folks, or just take photos!)
• I’ll run each and every entry on the blog (barring it’s covered in profanity), so check back to see the entires!
• All entries must be received by June 10, and make sure to give me your mailing address in the email with your entry, because….
After the entry cutoff date, I’ll pick out a few of my favorites and send out some prizes to the lucky winners!
So, keep checking back in to see some rad coloring, and I hope to be able to decorate my desk area with numerous awesome entries just as I did to cover up the ugly pink walls of my room back in college!
This…this is one of those walls!
