Mike, Mike, Phantom Troublemaker, Jennifer Hartshorn, Lady Soliloque, and Drew Meyer express their thoughts on the unexpected changing of the guard along with the past season that was.

This Weekend - HeroesCon

This weekend is one of my favorite comic conventions of the year, HeroesCon in Charlotte, NC!

Unfortunately, I will not be set up this year and only attending on Saturday, but I wouldn't dream of missing this show! If you are going and would like to meet up, feel free to contact me via this blog, Facebook, Twitter, or the social media of your choice. Hope to see ya there!

After the show on Saturday, I'll stop by Fuel and fill 'er up then head back to Atlanta. Got a lotta work to get done for San Diego next month!

Last Weekend - Marietta Comic and Anime Con

Last weekend, I was a guest at the Marietta Comic and Anime Con, the first show og that kind in that area for quite some time. The con was very well attended and although Marietta is not that far from Atlanta, I saw so many different faces that it was like being in another state. Of course, saw some friends as well and I hope made some new ones.

But don't just take my word for it! Two online articles have been published about the event and I'm in both (at least my picture anyway). Hey, I'm newsworthy!!!

Marietta Daily Journal Online

GIGA Geek Magazine

I want to thank everyone who came out on a rainy Sunday to see us! Thanks also to my fellow ESO crew (Mike and Bobby), and all the other guests and vendors who helped make the show a success. And a special thanks to Mario for organizing such a great show. There is another one scheduled for November 10th. Count me in!

ESO Podcast - Episode 166

The ESO crew fights for survival against impossible odds (last time we let JD use the microwave and copier at the same time) and Mike, Mike, Jennifer, and the award-winning author Bobby Nash, reminisce with author Lisa Matthews Collins about some of greatest disaster stories of all time. Despite the station falling apart around us, we still take time to strap Chameleon Chronicles creator Drew Leiter in The Geek Seat and talk to Marc Ballard about the upcoming Knoxville Comic and Anime Show. Plus, the usual Rants, Raves, and Shout Outs! Don’t you worry, ESO will survive! Uh, can any listeners out there spare some duct tape?

This week's Shout Out goes out to a comic currently at the top of my reading stack - Five Ghosts by Frank J. Barbiere and Chris Mooneyham. About the best thing I can say about it is that I really wish I'd thought of it!

White Rocket Podcast - Episode 25

One of the many highlights of the Alabama Phoenix Festival was (finally) meeting writer Van Allen Plexico. It was an added bonus to be interviewed for his podcast!

White Rocket Podcast Episode 25: Alabama Phoenix Festival

In addition to me, Van spends some time with several other notables in attendance--Bobby Nash, Sarah White, Sean Taylor, Doc Osborn, and David Wright-- discussing what they're up to and what they think about the Festival. A good time is had by all! So load up on Zaxby's and grab a seat in the Cahaba Center--good times await!

ESO Podcast - Episode 165

The Earth Station One crew attended two very cool conventions over the Memorial Day weekend. Mike Faber and Jennifer Hartshorn were guests at TimeGate along with fellow ESO Network personalities Dr. Scott (Doctor Geek's Laboratory), Jason and Rita (Transmissions from Atlantis), Debbie Vigue (The Thirteenth Hour), and Phantom Troublemaker (Earth Station Who/Needless Things). They found time to interview the amazing Moxie Magnus and there’s a rumor going around that they even met a Doctor! Meanwhile, Mike Gordon and the award-winning author Bobby Nash crossed state lines for the Alabama Phoenix Festival, where they met up with Joe Crowe (RevolutionSF podcast) and finally tied Van Allen Plexico (White Rocket Podcast) to The Geek Seat! Plus, the usual Rants, Raves, and Shout Outs!

This week's Shout Out once again goes to two worthwhile Kickstarter campaigns that still need your help! The first is for creating a series pilot for The Star Wolf, based on David Gerrold's novel series. I've read the books and I really want to see this show on tv, so please help make it so!

The second is for Star Mage, a new independent comic series by writer JC De La Torre and artist Ray Dillon. This series looks like something special, and I'd say that even if JC wasn't a fellow podcaster on The ESO Network!
