If you\u2019re one of the few who have noticed Degenerate Press\u2019 broadcasts have been few and far between lately, and you\u2019re one of the even fewer people that has read the e-book Vegas Apocalypse: After the Crash<\/a>, you\u2019ll have an inkling of why things have been so quiet. We\u2019ve been busy working on scripts, talking to lawyers, and reading indecipherable contracts. After a brief road trip to Universal Studios in Orlando last week, not as a tourist but as a straight-up business person complete with a suit and tie, I can legally say SyFy has agreed to shoot a pilot for a possible new series based on the book. I expect the next few months I\u2019ll be arguing over plot points both major and minor, looking at photos of potential actresses and actors for the leads, and praying that things continue to go as well as they have this winter.<\/p>\n

Which means Degenerate Press can be put down like the tired old dog it is. Though I have absolutely no sense of time, it\u2019s not hard for me to believe I started the Degenerate Press brand 20 years ago this summer. I didn\u2019t expect things to last beyond the first episode of Degeneration Excerpt, the paper publication that started the whole mess, but people actually asked for more. However, the last 10 years or so, getting people to pay attention got harder and harder, so I shifted my efforts to books, games, and now screenplays.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested, my partners and I will be posting (or \u2018promoting\u2019 more accurately) the latest developments on Pangenre\u2019s efforts via Facebook<\/a> and our web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So this will be the last Degenerate Press post. Yes, I wanted to post reviews of our post-Orland trip to St. Augustine, a few music reviews of shows I\u2019ve seen of late, maybe rally people for the drive in this week, etc. but I have a busy week ahead of me training the new guy at the office so I can walk out of the cube village (hopefully permanently) and \u2018retire\u2019 to a life of working my ass off.<\/p>\n

What do two decades of decadence get you? Some fantastic, albeit often blurry, memories. My favorites? In no particular order:<\/p>\n
