50 Days Of DragonCon 2012 (Day 46) – John and Anne: Art Show

Jon and Leigh are to art as The Hulk is to coloring; so they brought two experts into the studio to discuss the Dragon*Con Art Show. Directors John and Anne, discuss the history, requirements, and rules of one of the great masterpieces of Dragon*Con while Jon just sits in the corner and finger paints.

50 Days Of DragonCon 2012 (Day 45) – Joe: Hospitality Suite
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).

50 Days Of DragonCon 2012 (Day 43) – Photo Wednesdays
Seems like every year there is one costume that stands out as the most prolific. Back in 2008, you couldn’t walk five feet without tripping over someone dressed as the Joker Nurse from The Dark Knight. In 2011, there was an abundance of women dressed as a human TARDIS. What will be the popular costume in 2012?
50 Days Of DragonCon 2012 (Day 42) – Matthew: Independent Film Festival and Track
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).
You can get more info on the DragonCon Independent Film Festival here: Official Website, Facebook, and/or Twitter

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.
