2009 World Air Sex Championship T-shirts are now available!

After a year of sold out shows at the Alamo Drafthouse and the Paramount theater in Austin, TX, the World Air Sex Championships are taking to the road and touring fifteen North American cities in the search for this year’s Air Sex Champion. Shirts will definitely be available for purchase at the shows, but we’re giving our online community first crack at these. Available in men’s and women’s cut, you can choose from gym blue or black.

Tell your friends about the upcoming shows in your city and we hope to see you there!

Murder Monday Vol. 2: MANIAC COP 2 w/ Bonus Rap!

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Almost forgot about the Murder Monday post, but I’ve got my priorities in order. To kind of apologize for my tardiness, I’m going to give you like 175 murders in one post instead of just one measly murder.

If you haven’t seen MANIAC COP 2 because it isn’t on DVD, quit being a lazy jerk and go find the VHS copy and watch it. It’s WAAAAY better than the first MANIAC COP and MC1 is pretty hard to top. I’m not going to write about why you should watch this…the tasty clip above speaks for itself.

Three years ago at a comic book convention in Kansas City, KS I met Robert Z’ Dar and he invited me back to his hotel room to drink wine with him. I don’t remember the circumstances, but I had to turn him down…that has seriously been my only regret up to this point in life.

If the above clip doesn’t make you want to see this movie, the MANIAC COP rap over the end credits definitely will…ENJOY!

Memorial Day= SLASHER SALE!

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

john_landis

This is it…tomorrow is the last day of the Mondo Mega Memorial Day Sale! I hate to see it go, but I am exhausted. It has been a crazy fun couple of days, but we have to stop the sale sometime. We are still going to offer 20% off everything online with the Coupon Code DEALZ, but we’re going to extend a fun promotion to all of our in-store customers. THE FIRST EVER MONDO SLASHER SALE!

WHAT IS A SLASHER SALE?

Well, it all comes from John Landis’ documentary about this guy that goes all over the country and SLASHES prices on cars at used car lots. So basically, anything goes tomorrow. I will be in store until five o’clock making deals left and right. You let me know what you can pay and I’ll let you know if we can accept it. Another thing that was cool in the movie was that the SLASHER gave away a car for free. The identity of the free car wasn’t announced beforehand, but if you went to buy that lucky car, you got it for free! Same thing tomorrow. I’m going to pick out five items in the store tomorrow that are going to be FREE. After they are gone, they’re gone so it makes good shopping sense to get there as early as possible tomorrow! Doors will open at 11:30AM so don’t get caught sleeping in!

If you still haven’t heard, Mondo is having a giant Memorial Day Sale where we are offering 20% off everything online and in-store. We’re also having a big rummage sale in-store with stupid low prices on shirts, hats and who knows what. We basically pulled out everything from the back room and are selling it. I think I even saw Brady Bunch bobble heads at one point during the day. Who knows what you’re going to find up here.

If you thought that the Mystery Poster Tubes were cool yesterday, just wait until you see what I’ve just cooked up for today. The thing is, you’ll never know what’s going on if you don’t follow us on Twitter. Click on this link right now and start following us.

Mondo Mystery Poster Tubes!

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

UPDATE: These Mystery Tubes went FAST. They’re all gone! Thanks to everyone that bought one. I made sure to put something that I thought was good in every tube. And just so you know, NO…not every tube had a T. Stout poster in it. Even though the mystery tubes are gone, we do have a lot more posters for sale at the shop at 1120 S. Lamar Blvd. We’ve pulled everything out of the back, so come on down and see what you can find.

If you haven’t heard yet, we’re having a GIANT sale online and in the store. We’re giving you 20% off of everything online when you use the coupon code: DEALZ. In store, we’re giving you 20% off of everything as well, plus we’ve brought out all back stock and samples for our RUMMAGE SALE! If you had been following us on Twitter, you’d know that people are already writing about great deals that they’re getting. We have tons of  shirts for five bucks, WATCHMEN TPB’s and all kinds of random stuff (Brady Bunch bobble heads?! Really?).

If that wasn’t enough, I decided to make 20 Mystery Poster Tubes. Each tube will have 4 posters of varying sizes and will cost $50 a piece. PLUS, I went through my personal poster collection and pulled out a bunch of RARE, much sought after posters that are LOOOOONG sold out. We’re talking the Tyler Stout THE THING poster, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA posters and the two below….

I know a lot of people have been writing asking if these are going to be released online and the answer is…nope. At least not yet. These are going to be reserved for people coming to the store for the rummage sale. I do love all of our out of town customers though, so I’ll allow phone orders on this stuff. Call 512-476-1739 and we can take your order over the phone. There are some great stuff in these even if you don’t get the chase posters.

Keep an eye on our Twitter as we will have surprises ALL WEEKEND LONG! https://twitter.com/mondonews

My office is a toy store: The Oozinator

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Alright…this video is super old, but for all the ones that haven’t seen it…catch up:

So, now that you’ve watched the video, let me say that this toy is incredible on many levels. First off, the design of this gun is really beautiful.

groman

James Groman is the guy responsible for making it look so impressive. He’s also a hero of mine for doing so much with Madballs and the criminally forgotten Blurpballs.

As a Super Soaker type gun, I’d have to say that this is right up near the top. First of all, getting shot with ooze is way more insulting than water. I guess it’s kinda fun on a hot day to get nailed with a shot of water, but some hot slime…not so much.

This thing has so much firepower, it’s crazy. It has a decently sized water tank on it plus the pump action ooze.

It’s kinda like the Pulse rifle Ripley uses at the end of ALIENS. When she’s out of ammo (water in this case) she switches over to the grenade launcher (ooze). I got this in the mail yesterday and took it outside immediately and was NOT disappointed. Put this shit back on the market…now! The ooze shoots a good 20 feet…probably more. We have a balcony around back at work and Terror Tuesday Zack and I took it back there and let off some rounds. Truly disgusting. The kids in the video weren’t acting. I don’t know what the ooze is, but it’s gross and not pleasing to the palette (I had to try it).

Best part about this…it was only 10 bucks buy it now on eBay. Trust me, if you see this for that cheap again, you’ve gotta grab it. It’s worth the price. I’m gonna be cruising for ooze packs from now until my dying day. Viva la Oozinator! Best Super Soaker ever.

Another phenomenal artist named Esther Pearl Watson is going to have a show at Domy Books Austin on June 12th. I HIGHLY recommend hitting that up as well. It’s going to be a fun weekend. Truth.
