by Cara Chapel In 2007 and 2008, the Brobdingnagian Bards hosted a vacation tour of Ireland with their fans. During the first tour, we were in need of dinner on our first night of the tour. We stopped off in the only pub that still had a kitchen open. We ordered our food, and it […]

The Nazgul Song (Lyrics, parody “The Unicorn Song”)
by Michael Donley “The Unicorn Song” was originally written by Shel Silverstein. It had a sad ending that I didn’t like. So I convinced Andrew to change the ending. When the Brobdingnagian Bards recorded the song, it became one of our most-popular performances. That’s when our friend Michael Donley filked it using the Lord of […]
DragonCon 2008
This was, strangely enough, one of my most-fun years at DragonCon. I think it had a to do with the fact that Brobdingnagian Bards were such late additions. We were accepted only two weeks before the show opened. However, Andrew and I already decided we would attend the con nonetheless. We expected it to be […]

Help an Indie Author Top the Amazon Charts!
Playing for Keeps began as a serialized podiobook by my friend, Mur Lafferty. Mur is an awesome storyteller. I loved the podiobook. It’s a superhero novel where there are different levels of superheroes. And those with less than “super” powers, get treated like crap by the arrogant “heroes”. The book is total fun and now […]
