Quick Programming Note: no episode this week, as instead of prepping for Baltimore Comicon, we're recovering from it. BUT we will be back next Thursday with audio from one of two panels I moderated. Which one could it be????

And Baltimore Day 3 is done as well! Fantastic weekend; thanks to everybody who came out to the panels and helped make them really special. Looking forward to recovering and getting this stuff show-ready ASAP!

Baltimore Day 2 is now in the can as well! Both panels went great. Audio has been confirmed recorded for the TOOLS panel (always a happy moment!). The SHOPPING one wasn't really episode conducive, but the film is great and we're looking to have Wes on the show to chat about it soon!

Stan introduced himself to her with "I do a book called USAGI YOJIMBO" with absolutely ZERO ego. I wanted to say "I think she knows, Stan!" because I'm a cynical bastard. But it was ADORABLE!
