The John Staton Celebration of Life was yesterday. Abd it was a very beautiful abd touching way to get together with people he touched and remember him. It was at the College Park Aviation Museum, where we were able to get this marker placed in his honor. (Nobody else has Starship Captain as a rank)
Just got giggles, a look at what some of the interview prep stack contains:
Happy New Year everybody! We're back from a longer-than-intended hiatus. That X-episode is still in the works but it won't be the episode dropping in Thursday. THAT bad boy has a little something to do with this...
Here's a hint which panel from Baltimore Comicon is tomorrow's episode (pic courtesy of CBCC Brad)...
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!
Baltimore Day 1 is in the can! Stan Sakai is an absolute gem and our panel audio came out great! Look for it on the feed soon!
A preview of something coming to your podcast feeds on Thursday....
Kinda feels like I'm living a lie when I have to check "I'm not a robot" on these verification things for pid ast correspondence.
