It’s about time to slap your face Sponge Bob Square Pants Nooooooooooo. Once more? 
Dum-dun Dum-dun Dum-dun dum-dun dum-dun Da-dahhhhhhTime to get out of the water? Now you’re just being silly. It’s time to register for the 2008 Pike’s Peak Writer’s Conference. My partner in fighting crime and long time writing buddy, Mark Ortler and I will be conducting a class at the convention, titled The High Tech Cop. We’ll be discussing the newest and coolest gadgets for  law enforcement. From Tasers to Phasers (that’s right Star Trek buffs I said Phasers). Guns that can shoot around corners, heat rays, net-guns, bouncing surveillance cams, tracking devices, night-vision, advanced sighting systems, flash-bangs, simulated munitions training systems, ignition burnout devices.But wait… there’s more! There will be a hands on display table where future writers can physically hold an MP-5, slap a  magazine into an M-16, rack the slide of a shotgun, cock back the hammer of a .44 Mag (Well Punk, do you feel lucky?), pull the pin on a flash-bang grenade, light up a silhouette with a mounted laser, look through radioactive Trigicom sights, lock onto a target with a Vtek scope, see in the dark with FLEER, launch a pepper-ball, pad the trigger of a Glock semi-auto handgun.Most writers have never touched an automatic weapon, let alone looked through the most advanced sighting system in the world today. For a writer to feel the weight in his or her hands, to gain the experiential knowledge of wearing a thirty pound gun belt loaded with the everyday gear of a police officer and try to run with a bullet proof vest, will be an invaluable asset in crafting realistic characters that make their stories explode with realism. But wait… there’s more!  Free donuts and coffee. After all, what police event would be complete with this staple of law enforcement diet? But wait… one more thing. The secret about how the jokes of cops and donuts came about, never before reveled outside of the law enforcement community. So hurry, don’t wait, sign up now before your favorite editors and agents are all booked up for Pitch Sessions. Remember, first come, first served. Oh yeah, and there will be a few other classes too, and a few hardly herd of authors like Stephen Coonts.STEPHEN COONTS?That’s right bub, Stephen Coonts and lots of others. So like I said… sign up now. Before it’s too late. |
Guess what time it is boys and girls.
