Dragon Con Tales

I was very excited to be going back to Atlanta to attend their Annual nerd gathering, Dragon Con. I had never attended this event even though I had previously lived in Atlanta for many years.  But, that is probably the only thing nice I have to say about the event.  Check out this week's podcast for my review of Dragon Con. 

Spread'em

I had no idea that this was a thing until I read a few articles that were talking about it.  I guess if you do not want anyone sitting next to you on a bus or train and you spread your legs out to accomplish that goal YOU WILL BE ARRESTED.  Who knew? Also, in this episode of The 5by5 Podcast, I talk about my car being vandalized and shenanigans at the car dealership.

Big N Scary

Well maybe not that big and not all that scary.  I have been so busy with work and life since Nashville Comic Con that I have totally neglected my blog.  I know I'm a horrible blogger.  But, I have a lot to tell you guys. 

I had another comic convention excursion.  But, this time I didn't have to leave the city though.  This passed Saturday I was given a press pass to attend our very first Horror/ Comic Book Convention appropriately named Shocktobercon.  Held at the Evansville, IN Colliseum it provided attendees with Celebrities, Artist and Vendors.  This particular Con was arranged by the same group that brought us Pop!Con earlier this year led by the charismatic Jeff Osborne.  With comic conventions being so popular these days Jeff has enlightened and otherwise slow area to the growing and popular Nerd Culture.  

I was happy I was allowed to mingle and interview some of the celebrities guest.  I spoke with the original writer of the first Friday The 13th Movie, Victor Miller.  Mr. Miller was delightful with his answers and insight.  I also talked briefly to Butch Patrick from television's The Munsters.  Butch was a child actor when he donned the Wolf Boy personality as Eddie Munster.  I didn't take much of Butch's time since I got the feeling he didn't want to be questioned too much.  I could be wrong.  But, I think he read me during our conversation.  But, that's okay.  Your boy took it all in stride.  Maybe I wasn't the caliber of interviewer he is used to. #SideEye

I was able to catch a new ambitious project form a group of young people from Louisville, KY.  Sussex County is a new web series based on the Jason Vorhees mythology. It will be making it's debut to a YouTube video near you on Halloween. 

I also had some brief but cool conversations with filmmaker John Borowski about his most recent film/ documentary Serial Killer Culture and Tamara Glynn, a Michael Myers' victim from Halloween 5.

Shady Business

If you ever have listened to a Real Talk w/ David & Nikki podcast you know we deliver a fair amount of SHADE at times.  Now, with the addition of my friend Ken Boggle it's even shadier.  Or maybe it's just me.  Maybe they bring out the shadiness in me.  LOL But, on this week's podcast I asked the guys to bring their own topics.  I don't know if that was a mistake or not.  But, it was a hilarious good time.  I chose for my topic Social Media Shade (go figure).  Nikki, our resident purple muse, asked us "How Do We Experience Music?" and Ken kept it all the way real on his topic of "Immigration".  The result from all three was pretty funny. So, check out the latest collaborative effort from the gang and you might be saying to yourself 

"That's So Shady!!"

My Indy Pop Con Experience

My Indy Pop Con Experience podcast is finally edited and up.  In this podcast you will hear the live clips Nikki, Shani and I recorded during the day.  Also, you will hear my live podcast show where the host of Thought Bubbles (Chris & Elaine) call into the show and share their Indy Pop Con experiences. I also call former co-host Darling Nikki to share her thoughts on going to her first every con event.  Thank you for listening.  Thank you all for tuning in and liking the show.  

Not Mine!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone  I hope you all had a great loving day.  I had to work. And since I don't love my job, I didn't have much of a Valentine's Day.  But, I do have some thoughts about being single on Valentine's Day AGAIN! #Fail. But, oh well.  I love me and that's all that counts.  Check out the show and tweet me about your Valentine's Day good, bad or ugly! 

They Tried It

A funny show tonight.. I was a little all over the place with the conversation.  I talked about making a Paula Deen inspired chicken dinner for my family.  And I shared the Samuel L Jackson vs Sam Rubin audio.  That was funny.  I also talked about how the state of Kansas House Of Representative approved a bill that would discriminate against the homosexual community.  and how a mother chastised gay parents for inviting her son to their daughter's birthday party.  I mean they all TRIED IT.. TeamTooMuch

Trevor Wayne Interview

I had the pleasure of interviewing Trevor Wayne today on Real Talk.  Trevor is a model, an actor and an artist.  But, most of all he is a nice guy.  He was so gracious to chat with us today.  I first saw Trevor in one of his "boylesque" pinup show pictures.  I was so intrigued by this guy who had a lot of tattoos and blue eyes that you would only see on movie stars.  After some online stalking I found that Trevor had been in television shows and the subject of many photographers camera lens, most notably Clive Barker of Hellraiser fame.  I once sent Trevor a tweet of a picture of him from the Charmed episode Rewitched.  He was also in a scene from Dexter.  Trevor, as handsome as he is, also has a humor laced creative side.  He creates images of iconic movie stars or personas and throws them into a situation that borders on the strange and leaves you smiling at the result. His most recent and funny artistic creation is called Horror Banana.  I am so pleased to introduce Trevor Wayne to those of you who do not know him.  Listen to our interview below.  Check out Trevor's art and modeling work on his site at www.trevorwayne.com

Horror Banana

Fan Boys of The Universe

Let's Have A KiKi

I had never heard this song up until a few months ago. I know you think I should turn in my gay credentials and head over to team placenta.  But, I thought this was cute.  What makes it even hotter is hot gay men (Jasun Mark and Justin King and guy in back seat) singing a very cliche and totally gay song.. Watch these hot men lip sync to Scissor Sisters' "Let's Have A Kiki".  I so want to interview Jason Mark on my podcast now.  Enjoy!

The Drive: Can I Get A Vacation?

Today on The Drive to work I talk about how impossible it is for me just to take a weekend off from work.

I know I am whining, but hell everyone needs a break.  During my chatter, I get stopped at a green light by someone who obviously ran out of gas.  So, excuse my outburst.. or road rage if you will.  LOL. But, I mean when you  got into your car you knew you were low on gas.  So, why wasn't your first stop to go to the gas station.  I mean, REALLY?
Thanks for listening!! 

The Drive: Weather Wars

I was so mad today because I dressed too warmly to go to work.  And when I get outside it is almost short weather. Since, I was already running behind I didn't have time to run in a change my outfit for today.  I had to go to work looking like the last black eskimo.  I think the weather men fooled me or I just didn't look at the weather or something.  But, I am sure it isn't my fault.  I then ran into the confused cashier that always overcharges or gives me the wrong thing when I swing into the gas station.  Both stories and more on this mini-sode of
The 5by5 Late Night

The Drive: Down The Steps

More like almost falling down the steps.  Have you ever had one of those moments when you hope no one witnessed one of your embarrassing moments?  Well today I briefly experienced that moment. Normally not embarrassed by much. But, today as I pirouetted down the steps I secretly hoped no one saw my graceless  attempt at gymnastics.  Also, during my drive. I encountered 2 drivers who caused my horn to go into overdrive.  LOL

New Year Before and After

 

Happy New Years Everyone!!

I actually spent it with all my 5by5'ers looking back at some old episodes.

 Tonight I decided to talk about my actual New Year's Day. But, I also reflected on planning and being new for the coming year. So, I took my first selfie of the year and I think it turned out pretty good. LOL.

Liar Liar Pants on Fire!

It was a
  Real Talk with Day and Nikki 
night on The 5by5 and it was a lot of fun. Nikki and I both reside in Indiana so we have been getting our fair share of the snow this winter and we are both over it.  It's cold, wet and icy and I could careless if we had a white Christmas or not this year. We also gave a shout out in memory of  Nelson Mandela and his legacy that he leaves the world.  I sing Happy Birthday to Nikki while she wishes Happy Birthday to Raven Symone. Finally we get to our topic of lying as we discuss the events surrounding Dayna Morales.  We then ask the question.  When is it appropriate to lie? Listen for our answers to that question and a whole lot more.
