Pinch Me

Ok, Balticon 42 is over. I’m still recovering I guess. It was the most awesome experience, and to anyone who has never gone, GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GO! Ok now that that is out of the way, my report from Balticon 42.

I have to first say thank you to Mae and Scott Breakall, and their friend Max. They put up with me all weekend and I can’t thank them enough. I also want to give a shout out to all the great people I met. If I miss anyone please let me know I I will update the list.

First of all Indiana Jim, you are the man. I am so looking forward to hanging out with you next time. Anyone who isn’t listening yet so head on over to the Adventures of Indiana Jim. Great Podcast.

Jett, you are still so cute. ;^). Check out her website here.

Now I move on the the greatest event of the weekend (for everyone). The Singularity. The premiere of episode 4 of Stranger Things. I can’t say enough about the shear awesomeness of this. Earl Newton and Dave Kanter are the greatest guys and Matt “Fucking” Wallace is such a great writer as well as a very cool dude. I would suggest heading over to Strangerthings.tv and checking out the awesome content there.

Now to my personal highlights. I got to see live broadcasts of The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy and the Geek Fu Morning Show After Dark. I also got to hear readings by Mur Lafferty and Chris Lester. I also got to hear the first part of The Takeover, Mur Lafferty’s new audio Drama. I got to meet great people like Mur, Tee Morris, Chris Lester, Nathan Lowell (though he doesn’t remember me, just kidding Nathan) VividMuse and Choochus from the City of Heroes Podcast, Jared Axelrod and the Beautiful J.R. Blackwell and so many others. I know I missed a few people there but I’ll remember and add them after.

Needless to say I had an incredible time. Meeting all these super creative people really made an impact on me. I highly recommend attending any Con where these awesome people are attending.

You can find my photos from Balticon 42 on my flickr account.

Ok now I want to go back more than ever. All of you guys are so awesome!
