Dragon Con Schedule

Here it is, folks-

Dragon Con is almost upon us. And I have been informed some of what I’ll be doing Labor Weekend in Downtown ATL- surrounded on all sides by cosplayers, unearthly creatures of bad taste, Mickey Dolenz, and-in this year’s extra layer of awkward- Alabama and Clemson fans (who have NO idea what they’re getting into…)

Meanwhile, NeedCoffee dot com will be providing our usual madness including:

-Gonzo Sound+ Vision- the long awaited evolution/ return of the Film Fest

- Joel Hodgsen and the Gang from Cinematic Titanic will be screening their latest, “The Wasp Woman”

-Doc Hammer & Jackson Public from the Venture Bros.

-Dana Snyder from Aqua Teen & Venture Bros.

-The Nuts On the Road Panel show.

-Live performances from Paul & Storm

- And, in my own personal moment of the awkward, Torchwood’s Gareth David Lloyd WILL be part of our Whoniverse panel.

My Tentative Schedule:

Title: They did WHAT to my favorite book/fandom?
Description: Come join the NeedCoffee crew - the snarkiest band around
- as they talk about what Hollywood - big and small screen - is
planning (or has done recently) to your favorite sci-fi books and
fandoms!
Time: Fri 08:30 pm
Length: 1 Hour

Title: NeedCoffee.com vs. The Whoniverse
( Need Coffee + Gareth David Lloyd )
Description: The folks at Needcoffee.com are known for their high
standards and intense scrutiny. See what happens when these pop
culture rogues turn their towering intellects and biting humor towards
their beloved Time Lord and his spin offs.
Time: Sat 02:30 pm
Length: 1 Hour

Title: Nuts on the Road: Gonzo Sound + Vision
Description: The rumors are true. The wackos who brought you the Gonzo
Film Fest have returned. Needcoffee.com and QuickStopEntertainment.com
have been working overtime in their lab to bring about the next step
in Gonzo evolution-the result? An injection of live music into their
usual audiovisual assault on your peace of mind. Surprises, prizes and
more. Saturday night at Dragon*Con will never be the same.

Time: Sat 8:00 pm- Sun 4:00 AM
Length: 8 Hours

Title: Aliens of Torchwood (Brit / X-Track)
Description:

Time: Sun 2:30 pm
Length: 1 Hour

Title: Make the Bad Men Stop
Description: Come hear from the NeedCoffee Crew about the plans for
Hollywood to ruin the comics, cartoons and stories you love.  They’re
ruining your childhood; shouldn’t you know about it before you’ve paid
$10 to go to the theater?
Time: Mon 10:00 am
Length: 1 Hour

Welcome to the world stopping….

…otherwise known as “mike finally writing another post”.

I can only say that I have been busy getting things in order and upgrading a few things. Mostly, though- working a lot.  I’m in the process of transitioning into a new position at the dayjob and some non-profit webwork which has sucked a hole through my spare time for the last few months.

I’ve also taken up biking. Don’t laugh.  No Really, biking…

BUT the collective House of Werks (M+K) has been upgrading the gear as well. Namely, we have joined the Cult of the Macs, and it is very nice.

Everything is fine, I’m just out having a bit of a life- as I like to do every now and then. But I’m inching back torward that blinking cursor, if only to start everything up again.

So, be sure to look for series 3 of the Playlist to begin; more ConEtiquette as we grow oh so close to Dragon Con; the resumption of regular transmissions at Need Coffee, My Twitter feed,  and Ning relatively soon. Y’know, in case you were wondering….

ConEtiquette entry one: A word about T-shirts….

Sometimes, the sensory overload of Science Fiction Conventions can overwhelm one to the point of making irrational judgements of fashion, or behavior. 

In an attempt to streamline and further make the Con going experience more enjoyable for all involved, I shall attempt-in this series of observational sketches- to exhume these lapses of reasoning. This, mind you, is being done in the name of education and science. Not to mention, for a cheap laugh.

Welcome, friends, to ConEtiquette. (more…)

Want to quickly throw out a few thanks to Rob, Alan, Caro and the gang at Time Gate for a lovely weekend. Thanks to everyone for coming out and listening to me blather on about Doctor Who, Torchwood, and assorted stuff.

And oh yeah, just wait for DragonCon!!

More random thoughts about the Con experience will follow shortly….

Alrighty, Spring is here. And Con season is upon us. I have two appearances thus far to let you know about:

TIMEGATE- This one’s a Doctor Who / Stargate con going down in the ATL Memorial Day Weekend (May 23rd - May 26th). I’ve been invited to take part in a few of the Who and Torchwood related panels.

You can check them out right HERE (I am there on the event schedule for the panels, however the scheduling folk misspelled/ mis-listed my pen name twice-but I won’t hold it against them) .

DRAGONCON- Of course, there’s always Dragon Con- it’s Labor Day Weekend (August 29th - September 1st). I’ll be there with the Need Coffee faction. Events (with guests so special, I don’t even know about them yet). TBA.

And you can get more info about the con HERE .

You can also visit our friends at the Brit Track and X-Track HERE and HERE , respectively.
