I must say thanks to everyone who contributed in some way to Labor Day weekend’s Deadpanmmmm Gathering. It was a wonderful, unforgettable, fantastic time. I feel like George Bailey at the end of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. I am truly blessed with beautiful, wonderful, caring, witty, great friends in this community.
I had a great time this weekend. It was just a reminder I’m really grateful to know and count all of you who hang around Deadpan as my friends.
It was a weekend of highlights and great connections. We recorded some live Deadpan stuff, including a Flash in the Pan/Mongopalooza discussion and a live Duel of the Fates. I can’t even begin to describe how much I enjoyed the weekend. More importantly, everyone who attended seemed to have fun, and seemed interested in doing this again. The 2010 DeadpanMMMmmm Gathering will probably not be in competition with any major holidays, so stay tuned for more details. If you’re a friend of the Deadpan, then I’d love to see you there. I’ll make the Underworld Garlic Bread.

What is a Palooza? It sounds like an episode of Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas – – or what every other fking podcast in creation tries to be – – but it’s not.
We choose a film (or book or whatever) and rally around it for one dedicated episode full of opinions, reactions, discussion, original fanfic or artwork, or whatever comes up. Deadpan-style – – so no, it’s nothing like the 8,000,000 other podcasts that talk about geek culture stuff.

Sorry it’s a little late.

Conversation reboot.

There will (probably) be a release of the audio recorded for this week. Just not right now.

Goodnight, mush.

Apparently there’s some big new sci-fi Space Track movie out – and people had expressed a desire to be able to comment freely. So -here’s a place to talk Star Trek: The Motion Picture, if you want. I’d advise against reading these comments if you don’t want any movie spoilers. Cue Ogre sound effect.

Movie Reactions ——- with Spoilers.

We’re going to be getting together soon to talk the Watchmen graphic novel for a near-future Deadpanpalooza episode.
This is the best place to post ideas and suggested points, topics, and observations for the upcoming Deadpan Internet Cool Kid Watchmania Analysis Discussion.

There are no restrictions on the Watchmen and Watchmania topics discussed here. Be warned, if you haven’t read the book – – spoilers ahead.

Wow.

Rick Stringer and the crew at Variant Frequencies have rounded up a number of voice talents to star in the podcast audio production of my short story, “Creature of God”.
