Look, we all know no one is reading these descriptions, lets just assume that Leigh and Jon have done something Convention Operational… oh I know, they are undercover and the name of the mission is Operation: Convention.

Yeah, let’s go with that.

Spy master (sure, why not) Bobby, Sr. Director of Con Operations, guides the duo through the perilous word of behind the scenes at DragonCon. They tackle topics such as secret room keys, the history of the con, judging judges, the Holy Grail and … wait does anyone else hear that echo?

Jon and Leigh are back with yet another bonus episode and this time they brought backup! This time Leigh is the guest on a very special episode of Need Coffee dot Com’s Help Me Rox starring Rox Of Spazhouse!

…Give the show a call at404.382.0769 or on Skype at Need Coffee Live or even send it via email to help me rox (at) this domain dot com. If you can’t figure out how to translate that into a working email address, then Rox can help with that too–but you’ll have to use the phone number.

45 days in and Leigh and Jon are getting a bit peckish.

To quell their appetites, they invite Joe, Director of Hospitality Suite (a.k.a. Consuite), to the podcast to whip up some good old fashion conversation pie.

They discuss Spam, doughnuts, Klingons, Spam, Pepsi, rice, and Spam.  Also, Joe thought it would be fun to torture Jon and the listeners with an incredibly long reading of the Consuite food warning (this is what 4 days of working with Red Dye #647 does to a guy).

NOTE: We had some technical difficulty in this episode. The sound is not up to its normal mediocre level.  I apologize to our listeners and to Matthew (but not Leigh… I blame her :-) ).  There is a ton of good details in this episode, so thank you for listening.  -Jon

It is the day that is the answer to everything, which means that Jon and Leigh have forgotten what the question was.

Leigh is ready for her close up so we call on Matthew, Director of the Independent Film Festival and track. We discuss all of the great features and shorts that he will be shoeing at the con. We also talk about how comfortable the viewing theatres are, how the films are picked, and rehash Jon’s general ‘meh’ towards Casablanca (and why it is not the only thing he is  wrong about).

We are down to single digits in the 50 Days of DragonCon countdown!

Leigh and Jon are joined by Zan, a DragonCon fan and mentor of D*C newbies.  They discuss past cons, cosplay, Star Wars Celebration, and how names can be misleading.

If you are interested in Zan mentoring you you can contact her at:  skzb [at] hotmail [dot] com

NOTE: Because of the time constraints on contacting Zan, we have bumped this podcast ahead of a couple of other previously scheduled podcasts. So if later you hear us saying something that does not make sense – first assume we are crazy then assume it is because of scheduling.

Jon and Leigh polish off their goggles, prime the pumps, and let some steam out for this episode 50 Days Of DragonCon (none of that means what you are thinking it means… we know how all you think).

Doctor Q joins us to discuss what the Alternate History track is and how it is more than just steam punk and time machines. There is talk of dances, exhibits, film discussions, before Con bashes… and, well, steam.

For anyone attending the AH track, please ask for me: what would have happened if Greedo had actually shot first? You know, if someone could go back in time and rewrite history and pretend that Han was … oh wait.
