Oh JK Rowling
What are you doin’ with your time?
Givin' all your money to charity and I guess that sounds just fine,
But I’m wonderin’ if you got just a couple more jots.
Maybe you could, I dunno, crack a laptop.
Oh do it as a favor to me!
Do it for the kids or do it for charity!
Yeah! Do it for the HPA!
Oh I don’t really care, just do it today!
 
I’m giving you absolute creative freedom.
Maybe you could write up a screen play,
Or a prequel musical for Broadway,
Or collaborate on a comic with Joss Whedon,
Or a miniseries for the BBC,
Any of that sounds good to me.
I suggest you avoid cartoons
Or giving Fox a chance to cancel you.
And after considering this one pretty carefully
Please don’t make an MMORPG,
Cause that totally destroy my productivity
 
SO!
 
Oh JK Rowling

I don’t really care just do it 
No I don’t really care just do it today!

Just so you know, that is the shortest song on the album. It's not an album full of minute and thirty second long songs.  It- They're mostly normal length. I do have a special place in my heart for really short songs, so I really like that one.

That video was made by Risa Rodil whose work you may know from all of her amazing things that she puts on tumblr. And thank you to Michael and Stefan who came over late last night to help me with the dancing parts. I don't know how to use After Effects.

Incongruent is officially released! It is in the world now; it is available on iTunes, and Google Play, and Amazon, and at DFTBA Records where you can get physical copies. And also if you get a physical copy you will get a download link. Just...get them both ways. Unfortunately, due to my own idiocy, the clean version is not going to be shipping out of the warehouse for another couple of weeks yet. Sorry. There was a mistake. But they WILL be signed, if you pre-ordered them.

We've also finished booking the entire tour, so you can now get tickets at every single one of the stops including Pomona, which is nearby Los Angeles, but not quite Los Angeles. San Francisco, Eugene, Portland, Seattle, Boise, Denver, and Salt Lake City. I think I switched those last two. A couple of the venues have changed so make sure you check and don't go to the wrong place.

Hank Green and the Perfect Strangers will also be playing at VidCon. VIDCOOOOOOOON. Which reminds me if you haven't got your VidCon tickets yet, you need to do that right now because we're 95% sold out and I would love for as many nerdfighters to be there as possible, because I like you. 

If you aren't aware of what VidCon is, it's an annual meet-up of people who love online video, uh, with concerts and panels and discussions of the culture and business of online video and performances and Q&As and signings, and it's generally a really fun time.  It's in Anaheim, and it's from June 26th to June 28th. So three days of VidCon this year, guys.  I'm super excited about it. I am ALSO super overwhelmed by it, but that's life. 

To people who don't live in the Western United States: I'm sorry. It's hard to get away for more than a couple of weeks when you have SciShow and Crash Course and all the other projects and people that we need to keep happy and healthy here in Missoula.  I like making those things for the internet because everyone can have them no matter where you live, but if you ARE in the Western United States: lucky duck. The rest of you - I'm here, on the internet, always. 

Hope you like this song. John, I'll see you on Tuesday.
