Yes, Calendars.net kicks ass. Their website is completely cheesy and disconerting, but your calendar is completely customizable and you can make it look any way you want. The only downside is that it is completely hosted-- you can't have it on your URL.
No penalties for filing late if they owe you. But if you owed them for one or more years, even if they owed you for others, you get penalized & may come out be-hind.
As a small (vanity?) press owner, I can attest to about two decades of the pain and joy of being completely ignored by mainstream publishers. Let them do their thing, I'll do mine.
BTW, if any monkey wants one of my new books-- Economics, let me know and I'll send you one free of charge.
Help a monkey out today...
I was never impressed with Wesley as a singer-- it was always a sideshow. He was an accomplished artist long before and long after his mid-90s music. So let's set that aside. Because, yes, the giant black schizophrenic thing was present there, definitely. The singing has germs of his art (the use of copyrighted brand names & taglines, scenes from every day life, etc.), & I don't mean to be completely dismissive of the Fiasco and people associated with his music.
However, his art it the real thing. He created extremely accurate renderings of buildings and street scenes by sitting there and watching it. Perfect scale and relation. Completely free form, his ability to capture architectural details and living color with pens and markers is not juvenille at all. His fascination with motorized movement and the interaction between people and buildings is Futurist-like.
So try--inside yourself, not just as a commentary on what pop culture says about Wesley Willis-- to set everything you know about him aside and see his work new. And if you still can't see brilliance, it may just be an indication that you're not crazy about Folk Art, and that's fine, too. But at least the mystery of his brilliance will have been solved.
I can't speak for everyone, but I like art, I like Chicago, I like Chicago architecture, I like the pop method of creating art based in part on personal experience with global brands, and Wesley Willis was a master at rendering all those things I like in intense, precise, beautifully wrought fashion.
