Wetwired is going on it’s 8th year now, and it has always been a wonderful place for the people involved in Wetwired to vent, rant and frolic.

However, we have always considered Wetwired to belong to the readers, not the writers. We try to write stories and articles and posts that are designed to entertain you.

So in the middle of my last bitch session where I was saying “We write it for them, where the fuck are they? We built it, and they ain’t comming!” It occurred to me that we never asked the readers WHAT they would like to read, and what they would like Wetwired to be about.

So here it is: What do YOU want Wetwired to be?

What would you like us to write about? What topics would you like us to cover. More news, or more original content?

I mean, really we are open to suggestions. If what YOU, the reader, wants is close up pictures of our genitals painted to look like Smurfs? GREAT! We can do that!

(This would be easy to do, Finley’s junk already looks like Clumsy Smurf)

Pod casts? Sure! Just tell us what you want us to talk about.

Articles? Oh, we got the articles!

More contests and prizes? Bring it on.

How about a way for The Good Readers (as we refer to you) to request topics on a regular basis. We can do that too.

So, please, PLEASE leave a comment or email me directly at Beerslinger@wetwired.org

Really, his cock is blue and shriveled, with a lopsided crinkled cap. I’m not kidding, it’s Clumsy Smurf.

Thank you for you support.

Note: This was originally posted on Peter David’s blog. I felt it important to get the message out, and I hope that the Austin Community can help a family in their darkest hour. Read on, please.

Most of you probably haven’t heard of MICHELLE CALANOG PRINCIPE`, but she works in the comics industry abroad and is quite involved in many of the comics being published. She manages Glass House Graphics Asia and Studio Sakka, a creative agency and manga studio, respectively, coaching and guiding dozens of artists and colorists across the Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong, and even India. What’s more, she oversees bunches of free seminars each year, bringing in experienced talent to teach hopeful young artsts about the comics biz.

Among her talent roster: Bong (Star Wars) Dazo; Carlo (Hulk) Pagulayan; Stephen (Wolverine: Manifest Destiny) Segovia; Lui (New Terminator) Antonio; Noah (Red Sonja) Salonga; Patrick (Avengers/Invaders) Berkenkotter; Harvey (Avengers: The Initiative) Tolibao; Jonathan (Battlestar Galactica) Lau; Anthony (Bratz) Tan; Wilson (Wolverine Manga) Tortosa, Tina (Space Ace) Francisco, and plenty of colorists for Marvel, Dark Horse, Dynamite, Dabel Bros., and so on.

She’s also been a comic book character. Michelle is the sister of Jinky Coronado (artist of TokyoPop’s Avalon High series and writer/artist of her own series Banzai Girls). Michelle has been a character in every issue of Jinky’s comic book. And the two of them even appeared together in FHM Philippines. So Michelle’s overall ties to the comics industry go pretty deep.

Married at the beginning of the year to her college sweetheart Rhene Principe`, Michelle had a baby exactly one month ago. That should be cause for celebration, and it was. But within 12 hours of taking home newborn Reinee, Michelle found him not feeding and unresponsive. Back at the hospital, doctors discovered what they thought were blood clots in his brain. A catscan and surgery further revealed them to be inoperable deposits of calcification in his brain. Soon they also learned the baby had multiple hernias — intestines pushing through muscle walls — and areas of bowel that were not processing food. Young Reinee went through four weeks of painful surgeries, spending nearly every day in ICU.

Born September 26, 2008, Reinee Jaden Principe` died today, October 26, 2008. But every mother’s worst nightmare HASN’T ENDED.
