Summary
-
We give poor Jack Mangan a hard time for wimping out and going to CopperCon while we had much more fun at Dragon*Con.
Choice Bits
-
Jack Mangan or David Moldawer?
Sexy, vampire novelist or sexy vampire novelist?
You know what keeps Lou Ferrigno looking young? Gamma rays.
Ringworm con!
Tee Morris: “How many books can I sell before I get to the shower?”
Guests with large upper body dimensions should not ride this ride.
It was like “Killroy was here”, but with boobs.
I can get you to feel me up any time.
She said the “F” word. Probably not the “F” word you are thinking of.
Detailed Show Notes
-
It takes a special breed of person to put on three nights of parties at Dragon*Con. Unfortunately, none of those people were available, so we had to fit the bill. I spent a boat-load of Podiobooks.com money on beer & booze at Green’s in Atlanta, and everyone had a good time. The beer of choice? Dale’s Pale Ale, of course!
Night 1: Scott Sigler Soupbone’s Pimps & Hoes II: The Wrath of Bone. It was every bit as special as it sounds, too.
Night 2: Tee, Pip and J.R. had the idea of a quiet book and art sales event called Books & Blackwell. I sure hope they sold a few things, because it was anything but quiet once the party got started!
And somehow during this, Debbie had a gushing BSG fangirl moment. As long as gushing fangirl moments can include getting felt-up by the face of Helo. Oh, Edward James Olmos has really REALLY large pores in case you didn’t notice. Don’t get BSD in HD. Srsly.
We also discovered that skeptics were big fans of Geistbear’s hefeweizen, and they mix well with scifi and podcasting geeks. There might have been some thievery of cups from a couple of celebrities. Maybe. I can’t recall.
And last but certainly not least: a magnificent shout out, mad props and a huge amount of our thanks to Geistbear, Kris and Andrea. If it were not for them, NONE of the drunken debauchery detailed above would have been possible. With friends like these, I’ll soon need a liver transplant.

Well, it figures that *something* happened on Friday night that I don’t remember. I just wish my co-hosts would have clued me in before I heard about it on your show.
Immortalized in song, huh? Not sure if I’m ready for that. Though being part of DragonCon legend & lore might not be bad.
They say no publicity is bad publicity. We better get a bunch of hits on our site after this!!

With friends like these, Chip…
Fantastically cool meeting you, Jeff & Michael. And thanks for the “private” tasting. Sorry I couldn’t make it up Sunday night. I took a nap and my body decided to drop into deep REM. When Sheila woke me up, I had no idea where I was. Hell, WHO I was was in question. Took until around 11:00pm before I felt well enough to walk on my own, and then someone said “homebrewed hefe…”

[...] And holy shit! There is a whole set! These would make a great companion piece to much of the conversation we talk about on Evo @ 11 #5. [...]

Although, I do resemble one of those fantasy morons… I just don’t dress like them.

Finally we get you back. You know we have to live vicariously thru you. I went to Green’s this weekend and I wish I could have spent 900 bucks.
Posted by Jonathan on September 9th, 2008.
Wait… Green’s has booze left? Thought we cleaned them out!

What she said.

Just listening to ep 5 now, and I must apologize for not being at D*C this year to help tend bar. I had said that I would, but then lack of time and money prevented me from going.
Especially because I was planning on wearing a corset.
Sorry, dude.
