Pub Songs #121: Preparing for DragonCon 2013

We are just two days away from the big Invasion of DragonCon 2013. This year, I will be performing with the Brobdingnagian Bards for a weekend of Celtic Renaissance insanity.

Free from Ties that Bind

I decided to disconnect my blog from my Facebook fan page. Years ago, I used to publish all sorts of blogs under the sun. I had fun writing about stuff, promoting stuff, etc. I don’t do that any more. It’s all business and no play. I’m as tired of that as I am of social […]
