Here’s the plan.  While at FanX we streamed some interviews with random convention goers on the event floor of the Salt Palace, hosted by the one and only Dustin Hagen.  I realized too late the audio crapped out in the first video on periscope but it got resolved for the second stream.  Coming up soon, September 30th, is International Podcast Day.  Hooray!  I decided that I’m going to do the same thing I did last year and release a special episode from FanX.  Ideally it’ll be a video episode of our celebrity interviews.  I still need to work out the technical problems with that.  Otherwise, it’ll just be an audio episode and then I’ll post the video on here someplace.  

     Now, while I am a masochistic asshole...most of the time, I have my moments.  I figured I wouldn’t tell you guys about all this without giving you a little treat to tide yourself until the end of the month.  Here’s Dustin with our new friend, Randall the Candle, enjoy....

      Well, FanX is done again.  Back to the monotony of my regular existence.  Except that football is starting again and I’m going commence trouncing my co-workers upon the battlefield, imaginary, in FANTASY FOOTBALL!!!  I’ll probably be writing about that more, although, I will be writing all that more like a game of D&D.  Because it doesn’t matter what some former high school jock tells you, fantasy football is EXACTLY like Dungeons & Dragons, it doesn’t matter that it involves “real people” that you never have and all likelihood never will meet in person.

      Anyway, being the last day of FanX we walked the event floor for awhile with Dustin interviewing unsuspecting convention goers and asked them the hardest hitting of questions...about gravy.  That should have appeared on periscope with the tags #FanX18 and #ComedyShedRadio.  And we made a new friend who joined our floor adventure.  That video will be posted here as soon as I figure out to get it from my camera to this thing.

     I finally got my schedule for tomorrow so, I’ll be able to start getting this stuff done whilst cutting next week’s episode and fixing the audio for future episodes.  And I’m working with some friends to put together some ongoing bonus material so, stay tuned. 

     And may the force be with you, always. 

      The first day of FanX is over.  Now I lay here on my couch watching TV and wishing I had talked to Tricia Helfer.  I think she might have enjoyed going with me to breakfast tomorrow morning.  Another time I suppose.

     Today was a great day and I’m excited to see what happens tomorrow.  Another last minute cancellation I heard walking the floor is Katee Sackhoff.  I haven’t heard details just that she couldn’t make it.  I trust it’s nothing dire.  

      In other [bad] news, Burt Reynolds died earlier today.  He was 82.  No information was released as of the time I first saw the headline.  Keane took the news hard.

     Time now for a snack and a nap.  See you at the con! 

     I just sitting down in the press room for a bit.  I am WAAAAAAAY more sleepy than I thought.  but it’s been a fun, full day so far.  We made it to the press junket today and I got to chat with John Wesley Shipp, Jess Harnell, Manu Bennet, and the founders of FanX Dan Farr and Bryan Brandenburg.  First though, I got to speak with Paige O’Hara but it seems there was a slight problem with my device not recording that conversation.  We got video recorded on two other devices so, I’ll have to play with those a bit and see what I can work out.  I’m going to hit the event floor and maybe start getting photos of costumes.  Until later, EXCELSIOR!

Here’s the new episode.  I’m thinking about streaming stuff from FanX.  I should probably nap now, I’ve got shit to get done before the convention.  See ya there!
