Hey, I’m getting married one month from today! Hooray! 
On a completely unrelated note, myself, Carrie Dahlby, Devo Spice, and Insane Ian have been immortalized in the webcomic “Frog Raccoon Strawberry” by TV’s Kyle! check it out: http://www.dummcomics.com/index?sid=717
WHAT’S LUKE PLUGGING NOW?:
“What A Ripoff! Volume 2″ continues in the tradition of Volume 1, wherein Luke attempts to get his hands on more money from his fans so he can pay off the cost of his wedding. This album is made up of tracks Luke Ski has produced over the past few years that did not end up on either “Target: Audience” or “Too Much Stuff”, some of which have never been heard anywhere before. It also has cover versions and parodies of Luke Ski tracks by Tom Smith, Steve Goodie, Devo Spice, as well as cameos by Carrie Dahlby, Worm Quartet, Insane Ian, Soggy Potato Chips, and many other FuMPers (see “Explained Outtakes Part 2″). There’s also a couple of spoken word tracks, including the infamous original version of “True Tales Of Ignorance From The Caricature Stand”. The album has been described by Ken “Madman on the Loose” Sherlock as, quote, “worth getting”.

- TOUR DATES:
ARCHON 34
http://www.archonstl.org/34
St. Louis, MO - Westport Plaza
October 1st thru 3rd, 2010
Yes, the weekend following my wedding, I’ll be returning to Archon, one of my favorite conventions of the year. I’ll be doing a concert on Sunday afternoon per usual. Once I know the exact time and place, I’ll let you all know.
I have been invited to perform at both CON ON THE COB and OVFF. I want to be there for both of them, but the fact that I no longer have a vehicle of my own (It was parked on the street and a neighborhood kid crashed into it and totaled it), coupled with pre-and-post-wedding financial concerns make it unclear as to if I’ll be able to make it to one or both of these. I’ll keep you all updated. I am hoping to perform at WINDYCON again, and since it is local, will be easy for me to arrange to get to.

- HELP LUKE & SARA PAY FOR THEIR WEDDING
Luke Ski, that would be me, is getting married to Sara Trice in 47 days. We are paying the bulk of the wedding costs ourselves. If you’d like to help us out with that, buying stuff from my website is an easy way to do so. As always, it is located at http://www.thegreatlukeski.com , click on the STORE link. “WHAT A RIPOFF! VOLUME 2″, an odds-and-ends compilation was just released, and my “GREATEST HITS VOLUME 1″ 2-CD set would make a great gift for someone who you’d like to introduce to my music.
Additionally, I’m always looking for more work as a caricature artist & cartoonist. If you’d like to hire me to draw caricatures at your party or event, or commission some cartooning artwork from me, go to http://www.artbylukeski.com for all the details. Thanks.
