Welcome back, my friends! It is time for another Balticon 47 Wrap-up episode brought to you by Balticon and Swimming Cat Studios! Today’s episode is Not Safe for Work, and Not Safe for Children! For today we have Dirty Mad Libs, Part 2! This episode features Starla Huchton as she goes through her Dirty Mad Lib with the assistance of moderator Patrick Scaffido and the late night Balticon audience. Not familiar with Dirty Mad Libs? In this popular Balticon game, your panelists have taken a steamy section from some piece of classic erotica and turned it into a mad lib. Then, with the help of the audience, they turn it into something beyond obscene. So, don’t listen to this unless you are not easily offended. And if you haven’t listened already, be sure to check out Dirty Mad Libs, Part 1! [click to continue…]

The Balticon 47 Wrap up rolls on! In today’s installment, we are happy to bring you a panel whose recordings have been highly sought after in previous Balticons: Dirty Mad Libs. And when we say dirty, we mean it! This episode is Not Safe for Work, and Not Safe for Kids! On Dirty Mad Libs, we start with classic erotica, make a mad lib of it, then gather words from the audience to make the result even more obscene! And hilarious! So only proceed to listen to this episode if you are not easily offended by material that has sexual themes and may have some very perverse leanings. This episode is EXPLICIT and RUDE! How many times do I have to warn you?  [click to continue…]

Time to bring Back from Balticon to an end. This is part 4, the Final Installment. (cue dramatic music) Time to take a look at Memorial Day Monday. A day to do more than franticly pack up your hotel room and say teary good-byes to friends old and new in the lobby (although that happens too). It is a day to take some time to remember those men and women who gave their all to establish and defend America, and be grateful for the things that their sacrifice has brought us. It’s also the last day of con; there are still panels going on, and some of the coolest stuff is saved for last. [click to continue…]

In part 1, I talked about some of the wonderful people, both old friends and new friends, who make Balticon such an amazing event for me.

What? This again? Didn’t we just finish this?

No, not quite. That was the Balticon 46 Wrap up, but this weekend was Balticon 47. So now we have a whole new series of audio! And this year’s series promises to be bigger, and features some really amazing recordings from Balticon 47. And we’re going to start the series off where Balticon started off, with the very first panel. [click to continue…]

In the previous installment, I talked about the wonderful people who filled my Balticon Weekend. I wasn’t able to mention everyone who made the weekend a memorable event, but I tried to address as many as I could. I probably should address some of the folks I left out, but instead, I want to move on to some of the more memorable events of the weekend that made it the incredibly special experience that it was. I won’t mention every panel we attended, but I would like to point out that there will be a Balticon 47 Wrap-up, and this year’s Wrap-up should feature about 20 episodes of content. I still have to get permission to make sure I can release some of the audio, and work out some deals on the release of some content. [click to continue…]

Balticon 47 is over all too soon. It was an incredible, amazing, action-packed weekend, and as much as I look forward to getting some rest now, I would like to have a few more days of it! I guess we’re all going to be looking forward to next year. In the meantime, there are squirrels to juggle…

For forty-six days I found time each day to write something. At first, I wrote 250 words each day. Actually, most days I well surpassed 250 words, although there were a few days when I just barely ticked over 250. After a month, I leveled up and raised the target to 300 words a day. I still made regular progress. And then, on the forty-seventh day, after a long day at work, I came home, climbed into bed, and collapsed. I slept through until the next day. And my writing chain was broken. [click to continue…]
