MP3: The Crüxshadows, “Resist/R”

On yesterday’s date, August 28, in the year of 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Monument in Washington D.C. Martin Luther King Jr. made one of the most memorable speeches in modern American history. He had a dream. It seems like a good time to post one of my favorite tracks from Dragon*Con regulars [...]

MP3: The Gypsy Nomads, “Make Out”

NEWS: Guinness World Records is a SCAM!

I know, I know… the title may have come off a bit harsh, but it is unfortunately the truth. Early last month at Dragon*Con 2009 I helped in a record breaking reenactment of Michael Jackson‘s famous “Thriller” dance. Over nine hundred others and I danced for the full length of the six minute song. The [...]

REVIEW: Dragon*Con 2009

So Dragon*Con has once again come and gone. This year was a blast. I got to see a lot of cool shows, meet a lot of cool people, and… well… probably a lot more stuff that I can’t even remember. The first night of the convention is technically the day before the thing even starts! [...]

VIDEO: Michael Jackson, “Leave Me Alone”

Today Michael Jackson is scheduled to be buried in the Holly Terrace Grand Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park among scores of other celebrities at sunrise. Tonight I’ve been working on learning the “Thriller” dance for Dragon*Con‘s world record attempt. Perhaps now, with Jackson laid to rest, folks can finally leave him alone. Check [...]

The crew of Texas-based band ArcAttack, those responsible for creating the incredibly neat Singing Tesla Coil, will be present again at this year’s Dragon*Con. Almost like a real-life AniMusic, ArcAttack features a robotic drummer, an organ made of PVC pipe, and of course their giant Singing Tesla Coils. Add in a bit of guitar and [...]
