As if there was any doubt, the concert was amazing! It didn't quite sell out but there weren't more than a handful of empty seats. Molly's opening set included a much more finished version of her Open Letter to Stephen Fry that she performed at w00tstock Seattle. If anyone had told me a year ago that I would be a raving fan of ukulele music I would have thought they were nuts!
Marian's set was unbelievably good. Much as I like her stripped down just-a-voice-and-a-guitar sound, having a full band behind her really brings out the power in her voice. I really REALLY hope she was recording this set because it was just stunning.
Seattle! You can see Marian Call with Molly Lewis and Jason Finn on Thursday! GO GO GO!
One of the great joys of w00tstock 2.4 in San Diego was finally getting to see and hear Marian Call in person; she is brilliant, and totally One Of Us. I was talking with Marian this morning, and she told me that she has a show coming up in Seattle: Well, we're having a sort of mini-w00tstock 2....
I was going to come up with an insightful and interesting post but then you said "stoner roadie science" and it very nearly made me snort coffee out my nose and now everyone sitting near me thinks I'm insane because I keep trying to not laugh at, apparently, nothing.
Radio Free Burrito: Episode Twenty-Eight
Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! Has it really been three weeks since the last show? I guess it has. Well, I brought a note that will hopefully excuse my absence... Show Notes: The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progr...
Since you mention improv and New Choice, let me direct you to some footage of Jeff Lewis from The Guild playing that very game (though they call it "shoulda said") at an improv theater in Seattle that he, Sandeep Parikh and Robin Thorsen spent a night at during Emerald City Comic Con.

the play's the thing
I spent most of the morning and afternoon rehearsing my speech, listening to how it sounds, and making sure it times out right. The old improviser in me even played New Choice a few times with some ad-libs that amused me so much, I ended up writing them into the text. Writing this speech and pre...
Excellent advice! This is more or less how we started doing the Seattle Geekly podcast -
Shannon: Lets make a podcast about geek stuff in Seattle!
Matt: uhhh... okay!
Neither of us thought at all about how we would do it or how much work it would be, although a lot of that was ignorance. We had no idea how much work it would be and by the time we found out it was much too late. We'll be putting up episode #41 this week!

Get Excited and Make Things!
My friend Ariana works with Warren Ellis to make all kinds of really cool things. Lately, they've been experimenting with print on demand technology to take creative risks that simple economics would have rendered impossible as recently as five years ago. For example, three weeks ago, they sta...
Bring this show to Seattle! you know how much fun we can be!
We have cake!
the obligatory w00tstock post
Everything I could possibly say about w00tstock has already been said by Paul and Storm, who made a lovely list, and Molly, who made a comic that captures exactly how I felt the whole time we did our shows. I loved feeling the terror and exhilaration of trying something totally new (The Trade, w...
Having run into my share of asshat high end guild leaders, allow me to compliment you on your performance. Good stuff!
Just a thought on how you can maintain your cool exterior if the whole "beetle" situation arises again - pretend you're spontaniously busting out with the Time Warp!
"OHGODABUG!GETITOFFGETITIOFF!BUGBUGBUG... I mean... It's just a jump to the left!"
for the record, that beetle weighed 800 pounds and was carrying a knife
Season Three of The Guild is well underway, and Felicia just released the gag reel for our first four episodes, so I thought I'd embed everything that's available so far in one convenient place: Episode One: "Yes. We are." Episode Two: "To clarify: your group should be behind t...
Right there with you on the recovery. The PAX-crud was some epic level funk. Hopefully this won't dissuade you from bringing w00tstock to Seattle! On behalf of the residents we promise that if you come back we won't try and turn you into a flu-zombie again.
Probably.
Behind the rabbit? It IS the rabbit.
I'm slowly but surely clawing my way back into the land of the living with the relentless determination and singular sense of purpose that can only be found in a recently reanimated corpse on a quest for brains. It's appropriate, because I feel very much like I'd imagine the recently-deceased wo...
I think this was one of the highlights of the weekend for everyone! In my mind this is part of what sets PAX apart from every other gaming expo out there. Stuff like this just doesn't happen at E3.
wil wheaton gets lucky ... sometimes
This was the ultimate highlight of my #PAX 2009, and watching it again just now brought tears to my eyes again. I'm not worthy of something this awesome. Thank you Jonathan, and Paul, and Storm, and Molly for making me feel cool. I <3 you guys.
Stopped by your table at the con on Saturday (along with 80 hojillion other people I'm sure). We were the ones who gave you one of our business cards "Just so we could say we did". Thanks for being so kind to us fans!
i'll be at the emerald city comicon in seattle this weekend
I'm going to be in Seattle this weekend for the Emerald City Comicon. I had a blast at this show last year, and I've been looking forward to coming back ever since. I'm coming up a day early to do some media stuff to help promote the con, so if you live in Seattle, you can hear me on KISW 99.9 i...
I too haven't watched an episode of Family Guy in years but there was no way I was going to miss this one. The McDonald's drive through bit was hilarious but shouldn't you and Michael Dorn have been ordering veggie burgers?
just in case you wanted to talk about tonight's TNG reunion on Family Guy...
