Sherwood Celtic Festival in Central Texas, September 24-25th

Before the Texas Gunn Runners jump up and say, “Are you gonna be there?”  The answer is “no”.  I won’t. I was one of the first people the festival asked to attend and for Celtic band advice.  They picked many of my favorite Celtic music artists.  It also turns out I’m glad I declined since […]

Top 5 Regrets About DragonCon 2011

I had an amazingly awesome time at DragonCon, but whenever you plan something, it never quite works like you expect it to.  This time, the whole weekend turned out better because my family came out.  Yet, there’s still a few things I wish could’ve happened. I wish the Bedlam Bards could’ve made it.  The Firefly […]

Saturday at DragonCon 2011

Saturday at DragonCon began with a mistaken plan.  I wanted to go play for the lines, but I forgot that the parade started at 10am.  That, combined with the fact that DragonCon’s new registration system was a huge success, meant that I would stay at the table.

Another Bonus for Bilbo’s Bestest Friends

Bilbo only has one Bestest Friend.  I was really hoping that more people would choose that sponsorship level. Then it hit me.  One of those “Duhhh!” moments.  Maybe Bilbo’s Bestest Friends don’t want FIFTEEN awesome copies of Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits.  You may not even like fifteen people you want to share the CD […]
