With the Holiday XTRAvaganza, recorded live on December 24th, 2007.

This week we took a bit of a back seat to the normal show format. In an effort to give everyone a break during the holiday season Alan whipped up a holiday-themed music show with actual content... don't fret! Alan is not solo on this one. Just a few surprises and extra packed entertainment for all of your holiday freetime. So find a confortable chair, some hot coco, some good manga/book and share the next couple hours with us! Happy Holidays on OG!

NEWS: Vas built something unique for IE7 and FF 2.0 users... a search option for OGlink (click here) and shortner (also click here) that will let you get to the shortner/oglink redirect pages quicker! Check it out!

OG Manga / Comic Contest email your entry

We finally figured out what you the audience likes for contests... so Dan came up with a manga/comic contest... for which the winners will get a book of the contest... confused?

Here's the deal... every few weeks... Dan will come up with a new manga/comic frame... with an empty comic bubble and it's your job to fill it in and modify for everyones entertainment.

The lowdown... Dan says NO MEMEs! If you use one... it better be HAWT SHIZNIT... otherwise, get creative.

Anyhow this week... no entries. I guess it's time for Dan to draw a new frame? Whatcha think? I agree!

But to get started download the 1st frame here... but listen to the show to find out why want to download this file!

Dan eventually remembered to the 2nd contest-frame (thanks to Jefferson)... so download it now!HERE!

You want to win this prize pack! There's unique OG merch, the eventual book of the contest (listen to the show for details)... give-a-ways... including some signed stuff from past guests. So what are you waiting for? Enter the contest now!

At this point... we're gonna end the contest on December 31st, 2007. So get your entries in... check back here, maybe I'll post a 3rd frame and not even mention it on the cast... you'll get bonus points for that... if you use it and enter it.
