Hey everybody, it's Luke Ski.

So, this is what you humans call "a day off"? Fascinating. Anyway, there's things to report, songs to request, merch to sell, etc., so here's an update. But before that, I wanted to point out in case you didn't notice (and since nobody has mentioned it, I assume no one has) that at my website, Luke Ski dot com, the feature formerly known as "Free MP3 of the Month" has now become FREE MP3 OF THE WEEK!!! Yes, a new Luke Ski track as requested by one of you will be available for free download by an automated interwebby-thingy constructed from voodoo and doozer tower sticks by the illustrious Sara 'dement1a' Trice, the webmistress to which you all must submit. So thank her, dammit, and wish her a happy birthday! Current Free MP3 of the week: THE BALLAD OF OPTIMUS PRIME! So tell your friends to Transform and roll out to http://www.lukeski.com!

Luke Ski takes 3rd Prize in Scud Fan Film Contest! Yes! I honestly wasn't expecting to place in the contest due to all the other entries that I felt were in various ways superior to mine, but Rob ended up giving me the 3rd place, which means I win an actual page from a Scud comic!
