In case you missed their last sale, the Eyeball Records Store is having another huge sale in which you can purchase I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love AND Pencey Prep’s Heartbreak In Stereo for the small price of five dollars each.
Even if you already own them, they make awesome presents. =P

Gerard recently did an interview with KROQ [a radio station, I assume] which you can find on their website here. To listen, click Keven And Bean on the left, then the red and white Podcast button, and then it starts at about 23:30 with Gerard talking. [Subjects being The Umbrella Academy, Living in LA, and 'other stuff']

Because of some difficulties that seem to surround getting this up on MWO… you can download the interview

I’ve never heard of this site before, but according to MCR’s official site they have a contest on imeem.com where you “create your own playlist of your favorite My Chemical Romancd songs from their past few albums and also let the world know why you picked each track. The winner gets one of the special edition versions of the new CD/DVD “The Black Parade Is Dead!” Click to check it out!”

And we go from the possibility of free stuff to the possibility of really expensive stuff…
Also from the official site::
“When MCR filmed The Black Parade Is Dead! DVD, they signed one of the Super 8 cameras used in the shoot, and that camera is now being auctioned off for a benefit for The Waverly School, a progressive and developmental school in Pasadena, California spanning Young Kindergarten through high school. To start bidding, click here.”

Also… *avoids tags like the plague*

Make-A-Wish Foundation: After being diagnosed with lymphoma, Krystal told volunteers from the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Georgia & Alabama chapter that meeting the members of My Chemical Romance was her fondest wish. In September of 2007, she was on her way to to spend some time with the band and take in one of their fiery stage performances.

PETA’s other sexiest vegetarians for 2008: PETA, not satisfied with Sexiest Vegetarians Anthony Kiedis and Leona Lewis, went and held a contest for two more hot carrot munchers by on peta2.org. The winners? Alyssa Milano of Charmed “fame” and My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero.

People are still jumping on board for The Umbrella Academy. About Heroes: The only time I had hear of My Chemical Romance was when my brother asked me if I wanted to go to one of their concerts about five years ago. I wasn’t into the whole scremo and emo music, no matter how many times my brother tried to get me into it. Then I hear that the lead singer of MCR was going to do a comic book. So I laughed and sneered at the thought of a guy wearing make-up and singing about being sad writing a comic book. To me it was just another case of a semi-celebrity using his popularity to get to write a comic. So I read the first issue, mainly to butcher on my website and I ended up loving every single moment of it. Waited for the trade and was pleasantly blown away by the rest of the story.

Thanks Alicia! For anybody on Facebook, you can RSVP to the International My Chemical Romance Day. You’re not actually going anywhere (well, you can, but that’s up to you) but it’s just a “hey! I’m celebrating!” sort of thing. I put in my “Attending” vote.

LJ user limmenel was running the Empires merch booth in Chicago at the House of Blues and Bob was in attendance. He’s kept his lip ring and his long hair, much to my amusement. I’m totally lovin’ it! You can read her story and see the picture she got with him at ChemRom. If you can’t view the picture, you can find it on My Chemical Freak.

Music Save Lifes posted about 20 photos of My Chemical Romance at Skatefest September 15, 2002. Check this out:

If you’re not sick of it already, here’s more resources on that epic CLove v. Billy Corgan battle that Gerard has seemingly gotten himself entertwined in. Poor guy.
- Courtney Love slams Corgan over party Love also claims My Chemical Romance will be playing at the party, with frontman Gerard Way even urging a bandmate to cancel his honeymoon so they can attend.
- Courtney Blasts Billy Corgan Courtney Love has never been afraid to sound off when things go awry in her little universe…

The Black Parade Is Dead! chart stuffs. W00t!
- Entertainment Online, Rolling Stone, Billboard: My Chemical Romance‘s live Black Parade Is Dead! at No. 22

Gerard Way did an interview with IGN.com, “Enlisting In The Umbrella Academy”. Occasionally pop culture celebrities will dabble in the world of comic books. Even Mr. T had his own series for a while, and we wouldn’t have learned the virtues of drinking our milk without it. On the whole, these celebrity-penned books are forgettable and wind up in the bargain bins at your local comic shop. One recent and notable exception was Umbrella Academy. This mini-series was written by Gerard Way, the lead singer of the band My Chemical Romance.

Haha. My Chemical Romance may be on break but the news sure is rollin’ in.

I sent out emails to the two people that offered to help with the media section, but I’m afraid I didn’t give out enough details! I need some people that’ll be willing to be staff and upload stuffs, convert videos, and whatever. Unless you make wallpapers and sigs, avatars and such, and then I still need you, too! I’ve discovered that the media linked on this site no longer works since it appears as if when I moved them over to the new site that it literally moved them, not copied them. Ick. Sorry But they’re going to be up in the media site soon. Also, if you’d like to be a beta tester (just surf the site and click on stuffs to make sure it works), also let me know.

The schedule for the San Diego Comic-Con [previously mentioned in this post] has been posted. A reminder that that day has already been sold out.

Saturday, July 26
2:15-3:15 Grant Morrison and Gerard Way: Born Under a Black Sun— Grant Morrison (The Invisibles) and Gerard Way (The Umbrella Academy) discuss death, death, and everything: comics, culture, the war on youth, and how you can fight back. This panel will change your life! Room 6B

And people think Gerard may also be present at this panel [it would make sense], although he isn’t listed for it, but it’s going to be on that Saturday as well.
12:00-1:00 Dark Horse Comics— Dark Horse director of publicity Jeremy Atkins and a host of Dark Horse editors and creators present a firsthand look at the future of comics. You will be given insight into the next chapter of the breakout hit series The Umbrella Academy, as well as a look at what the future holds for all of your other favorite series and characters. With exciting announcements and surprise guests, you won’t want to be anywhere else. Room 2

Courtney Love is not happy…

Proof! And more proof!

Why should you care? Well, you probably shouldn’t, but in her really cryptic message to Billy Corgan she does mention Gerard Way’s uber willingness to be at her daughter’s sweet sixteen party.

*Prizes may or may not be available…

Yeah, so I was talking to Becks from MCRime earlier and, between her and Brandi from My Chemical Freak, had gotten about 30 emails regarding Gerard’s death. Just thought I’d post before someone says anything, but he’s alive.

It was started by “internet douchebags” according to Absolute Punk. Brandi has confirmation from Riot Squad (My Chemical Romance management) that it’s false. The morons that started it to see how fast it would get around the internet or some bull like that, promoting the morons’ art…whatever. Therefore I’m not posting a link to him or his site. It seems to have been organized on some free-for-all website, but I won’t post that either because it’s covered in porn ads and people are generally disgusting and distasteful. And it gave Tiffa a bug somehow (as I sit here and hug my Macintosh). I did, however,try and find the page (ewwww……) but it deletes anything that goes past 10 pages so it’s gone.

How many times has he (or one of the other guys) died? A lot. Unless we get it from somewhere official, it’s not true

Man, depressing post…will random photos make you feel better? Since Brandy asked so nicely..

Talked to Brandi and the date Gerard is speaking at Comic-Con is July 26th, not the 12th. Thanks Brandi (haha I still love you), and Shyla for catching the error!

Johnnie is a dork and can’t get the Buzznet embed code to work. Oh, well. These two links were sent to me by C4. Brandy just couldn’t wait

Pleeeease, does anybody have the demos for “Vampires” and “Drowning Lessons” that they could direct me to or send to me? I’m still hunting for media! MP3s, videos, avatars, sigs, whatever you have. If you are a MCR media guru and want to help out with the media site, please let me know!

San Diego’s Comic-con is being called San Diego Monster-Con by promoters, advertisers and vendors alike. With comic writers the likes of Nicolas Cage and his son Weston, as well as ours truly, Gerard; the Comic-Con is being attended in record numbers. Some think this is good, others think this is bad. Either way, Saturday, July 26, Gerard and Doom Patrol’s Grant Morrison speak in a panel entitled “Born Under a Black Sun.” The official site says it’s completely sold out on this day. We aren’t aware if Gerard will be there for the entire Comic-con or just that one day. — Comic-Con.org
