Dragon*Pod

If you’re looking for something to do this fine Sunday afternoon (well, it is for me) then you might be interested in heading over to Dragon*Pod, the official Dragon*Con podcast, which just released their premier episode. It’s hosted by Derek and Swoopy (MMMmmmmmm, Swoopy) from Skepticality and Kevin from the Firefly podcast The Signal. There’s music by my man George Hrab, too, so there’s no losing.

I’ll remind you that D*C is a HUGE science fiction/comic/fantasy convention in Atlanta. I’ll be there, James Randi will be there, Michael Shermer will be there, and OMG OMG OMG guess who else?!

    Oh I’ll be there with bells on! Well that’s figuratively speaking of course! I won’t wear bells again, people kept hitting me the last time….

    *gloat* I’ve met all three of the Firefly/Serenity cast members. Even had dinner with Morena! */gloat*

    Actually the only member of the main cast I haven’t met is Gina Torres. But of the others, I had the most chance to chat with Morena, Alan Tudyk, Summer Glau, and (somewhat less so) Adam.

    I’m such a fanboy.

    Hey, Donnie B. — me too on the meeting all the cast except Gina. And add Joss to the list, just for good measure. Not that I’m gloating, or anything ;-)

    Did the tornado that just hit downtown Atlanta affect any of the venues?

      "If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would that world be?"

      "Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."
