Do you see what I see? Fall Colors

In America's northern states – on the planet Earth, for those not in the know – the fall equinox is upon us, and leaves everywhere are making their seasonal change, from the greens of summer to the reds, oranges, and yellows of autumn. Where I presently am, that's certainly the case, which got me wondering about everyone else here at Come In Character.

What do your hometowns or home planets look like? Do you experience different seasons, or does the climate – and, therefore, the landscape – rarely vary? Or, for that matter, do you move around a lot, encountering an assortment of settings on a regular basis?

Come on, authors and characters, paint a picture for us!

Do you see what I see? Yummy Oysters

I know, I know. Not everyone finds raw oysters appealing. For some, they're just too darn slimy. But not for me.

As a native of New Orleans, I've loved raw oysters since I was a teenager. Cold, clean, and salty – and even better with a squirt of lemon juice and a dab of cocktail sauce. In fact, I dream about them all the time, and I miss them when I'm not down south. That's probably why I eat so many of them during my fall visits to New Orleans – I have to get my fill before enduring months without them, and needless to say, I'm really, really hoping that the current Gulf oil spill doesn't destroy the Louisiana oyster beds for years to come.

So, what's your favorite food? What yummy treat do you dream about often – and what would you lament being without?

Authors and characters are all welcome to share! So, come on, let's get hungry!

Do You See What I See? Coconut Pirate

Apparently, coconut pirates are all the rage in Key West, but they beg the question... is it better to be a coconut or a pirate? Is it even possible to be both at the same time?

What other odd dualities are feasible?

And what do you think about this particular coconut pirate? Did he start his life in Key West – or somewhere else? Where’s he going now? Would you like to take him home?

Authors and characters, let’s discuss amongst ourselves!

Do You See What I See? Coupon



Here we have a small ticket of some sort.


There is nothing to indicate what this is a ticket for or why we should want it, but it says quite clearly that we must keep it.



What do you think this is a coupon for, and what do you think will be the benefit of keeping it? Will you keep yours?

Characters only, please.

Do you see what I see? Guitars and Dogs













Is it better to be a dog or a guitar? Can one successfully be both, as this one is trying to do? Which would you rather be, and why?

If you'd rather be something else, that's okay, too. Tell us about it.

Discuss!

Business as usual! Thursday Potpourri


Hi all. In honor of our upcoming concert, I thought I'd share some pictures and thoughts to get us in the mood!

"It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You'd wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?" John Lennon


"When I go to a concert, I can't believe that people pay lots of money to see a band that they obviously like and then they dance the whole time." John Hughes



"A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business, live concerts." Elvis Presley
