You are listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast.

Greetings Clark's World Citizens.

I hope the eyes of March finds you well. See how spooky that was? You know, I make fun of it and yet halfway through my first recording of this podcast, my Macbenny decided to get all stabby-Stabbity, stabby on me and decided to just quit for no apparent reason, so I lost all of that work.

So hopefully the second attempt will go a little bit better.

I think this recording will be punctuated with

slight looks over my left shoulder as I look at my computer scream and hoping to God that I don't get that error

Because if I do it, I'm pretty much going to throw the damn thing out the window

regardless. There's just a couple of things that we need to go over before we begin the second

story of the month here at Clark's World, the first being the Locust Pole and

survey. They are continuing to take submissions for the Locust Poll and survey until April 15th, so don't miss your chance and get your voice heard.

Also, Hugo nominations are ending on March 31st.

If you were an attending member in Australia last year or a supporting member, you paid the $50,

you are entitled to submit your nominees for this year's Hugo Awards.

I would not miss this opportunity, and I know I've said it many, many times in the past,

but this is a fan-based award. Your voice counts on

this, your voice matters, every vote counts, so make ears heard. And our third

piece of news is that we're trying a little experiment over here at Clarksville magazine.

For this month, the issue number 54, the current issue, will be available for download

in e-book format on Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com for just 99 cents.

Now I don't know if Neil has lost his mind or if he's gone into that whole like you know crazy

Neil thing with low low prices but I don't know if this is going to stick around

so you might want to go over there and grab your copy of this month's issue for just 99 cents.
