The Geek Fu Morning Show

LIVE from Balticon 42!

With special guests Sudden Death (also of Manic Mondays, one of my favorite podcasts) and Rob Balder from The FuMP and lots of live Twitter commentary. Matt Wallace reads more Silver Bullet facts.

Mur drinks water with olives.

Tee Morris is forcibly removed from the room (see pic) by Matt Wallace.

Thanks to everyone for the awesome participation, it was a lot of fun!

For the record there has been some scandal regarding a question I was asked about my favorite pie. In the past i’ve said strawberry rhubarb, and apparently I disappointed some people by saying key lime. I had just seen a key lime in the grocery store and it was on my mind…

Yeah, I say it’s #11, but really, it’s #12. Live from RavenCon ‘08 with John Cmar, Laura Burns, Joe Komenda, Stuart Jaffe and Tom Gideon! We talk PUPPIES and dishwashers. There has been alcohol involved.

We missed you, Jason!

This is not a reawakening, this is more of a “remember me?” I wanted to put something out on the feed before DragonCon, so Jason and I got together to record the Geek Fu Morning show. And soon: the podcast of Playing for Keeps!

Guest host J.C. Hutchins sat down with Mur at Balticon41 and interviewed her. The sound limitations of the iRiver caused a bit of a hiss, but it’s a lot of fun.

I wrote these show notes and then the browser crashed. Grrrr…

I went to Balticon, interviewed Neil Gaiman, and saw some awesome people. I’ll also be at ConCarolinas this weekend.
You get the halfway point of Season 1 of Heaven, partly narrated by Jim Van Verth of The Vintage Gamer podcast.

I review some comics sent to me by Geek 4×4, from Digital Webbing. I also mention Neil Gorman’s Comicology.

Adult language, but you’re probably expecting that by now.

Well, I have the copies in my grubby little hands. It hits store shelves tomorrow. I think I’m still in shock. And, knowing how critical some podcasters (well, people in general) can be, not a little scared. But I think Rob and I did a good job. I just hope people agree.

A lot of people.

In other news, preparation continues for Balticon. My buttons arrived (thanks Jared for the recommendation, they look great!), my books of essays arrived, and now I have my podcasting books to take. Throw in some underwear and a copy of Arkham Horror, and I’m set for the weekend.

• I have a cult! Alert me if we have the need for cult t-shirts.
• My con schedule: Balticon, ConCarolinas, Origins, Deep South Con, DragonCon
