cooler than aquaman

Yesterday, at the NYComicCon, ItsJustSomeRandomGuy premiered the first episode of season two of Marvel/DC. I’ve been following it ever since the first episode. If you are not aware of it, it started off as a simple parody of the mac vs PC commercials. You know those commercials, the "hello. I’m a mac." "and, I’m a PC." You know? Sure. There was a while there that there were a LOT of parodies going around the interweb, and this is one that really caught on. As the popularity grew, it expanded into including many characters and FULL storylines. And now they are BACK.

Watch episode one after the jump…

“Earth Day Celebration in Central Park
12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Rumsey Playfield

The Central Park Conservancy and the Green Apple Festival will host an Earth Day Celebration for families at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park on Sunday, April 20th from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm.  Pack a picnic and bring a blanket as we celebrate with music, crafts, and activities for all.

It sounds like it a lot of fun is planned. Free concerts (the Bacon Brothers!!!), yummy snacks (eco-friendly!!!), tips on making a vegetable garden (free seeds!!!), and tree tours and park ranger lectures!!! Okay, so maybe the lectures don’t sound that exciting, but you have to imagine all the hippie types walking around central park eating their organic cookies. That’s worth the price of admission! (price of admission is FREE, btw.)

There will also be a very exciting art project, called Peace x Piece Live 2008. It’s a large mural, brainchild of Paul and Mark Kostabi, and you can be a part of it by helping to contribute your own 6″ canvas. All material will be provided. It’s exciting when people gather together to create something.

All events are free and open to the public. Rain or shine.  Enter the Park at 72nd Street and 5th Avenue. Link.

Also, if you haven’t gotten around to it, Sunday is the final day of NY Comic Con. I didn’t get to go this year, though I didn’t have much interest, since there wasn’t a LOST panel. (That woulda sealed the deal fellas. You want CTA at your event, put a LOST panel. I’ll be there!) We do have a few correspondents who attended, and I’ll see about getting them to provide some thoughts and pictures in the coming days. But if you’ve got a yearning for some old fashioned geekfest, tomorrow is the last day. Sunday is hailed as Kid’s Day. 10-5, tickets for Sunday only available at the door for $40. Link.
