Will, this story gets better each time I read it. My kids and I are huge fans and always look forward to your work! We are looking forward to seeing you once again at PAX.

Because it's become a yearly tradition, here's a story about fireworks
I've written hundreds of thousands of words over the years, but this remains one of my all-time favorites, so I like to revisit it every year. It was originally written and published on July 5, 2002, which usually feels like years and days ago all at once, but this year actually feels like a lif...
Wil, will these be available at PAX? Or are you doing something else? Thanks.

One more From The Vault, because I'd completely forgotten about it, and it made me laugh out loud when I read it. While Anne and I drove down the freeway today, Just Like Heaven came on the radio. "This was my first CD," I said. "I know," she said. "You tell me that every time we hear a song f...
Nice post. Not complaining and its obvious by the post you have been very busy but you teased us about RFB 28 last week and that it would have some sort of announcement...I just enjoy the burrito very much.

From the Vault: "Foster is down!"
Today is the first day in a week that I didn't get up at 4am to go to work. I really wish I could say what I've been working on, because it's awesome, but I have to keep that information in a secure location for at least a few more days. It was pretty great that I got to sleep late - I rolled ou...

Radio Free Burrito: Episode Twenty-Four
Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! It's one of those shows where I talked for an hour, and feel like I didn't say anything at all. Also, I am aware that the tags are screwed up and the feed doesn't validate, so unless you're grabbing RFB from iTunes or getting it direc...
Just a congrats on being announced as Keynote Speaker at PAX East...I will be busy doing real life stuff but I am looking forward to seeing you again at PAX Prime...and hopefully on another episode of BBT!!!

Wow, nice shirt . . . Moonpie.
I love that this line has been immortalized in T-shirt form , not only because it's one of the funniest in the episode, but when we were rehearsing the scene it comes from, I grew a level in comedy acting: During one of the run throughs, when Jim did his Klingon bit, I turned to Kevin and as...
If only we 'normal' people could do the Centipede without pulling something then perhaps life would be complete. On the 'failed a little bit' side of things, I want to apologize for not giving you feedback on your chatbook that we(myself and kids Lennon and Savannah) purchased from you at PAX this year(heard you mention feedback on RFB). I forget that to a self publisher person like yourself all of the feedback is critical. Its like you are part of our family as we pretty much buy your stuff, watch your stuff, read your stuff, listen to your stuff etc. Anyway, we loved it! It was a nice lite read that all three of us were able to enjoy. Dont get discouraged. Please do release some more fiction in the future, because there are people who do like it. Even a PDF would be cool, even though we prefer the 'book in the hand' experience.
Now I have to add the two movies to my Netflix cue...

While you're out doing your last minute holiday shopping, you may happen upon a little device known as The Slap Chop. You may have seen it on TV, and you may have heard that it purports to: "Chop up vegetables, nuts, & fruits, quickly and easily" with just a few simple slaps. And who doesn't lik...
..yep, Breakin' 2:Electic Boogaloo was a terrible movie compared to the first....that means it was horrible...I mean, really, the scene where Turbo is in the room and it turns 360 degrees from upright, to upside down and back...c'mon, very, very bad...not like the scene in Breakin' where Turbo sweeps outside with the 'magic' broom and you can only see the strings a little bit...

Memories of the Futurecast: Episode Eight
Holy crap! It's time for Memories of the Futurecast. Memories of the Future, Volume One, covers the first 13 episodes of TNG, so each week, I'm choosing something from one episode, and performing an excerpt for you. It will mostly be from the synopses, which is where I think the real humor of...

Everybody walk the dinosaur. Well, except for you. You're not working out.
I have no idea what the title of this post has to do with the content of this post. In fact, I think there's no relation at all, other than the fact that I wrote them both. But when your brain compels you to quote Was (not Was), it's best to just do what it says, and slip in a Simpsons reference...
A bit off topic: Wil, you had mentioned at the LA Festival of Books that your next book would be out around mid July. Is this still gonna be the case? I would love to buy it and take it to PAX for you to sign. Thanks.

SpamSieve is the best spam filter I've ever used in my life, and it's made my e-mail reading much more efficient and pleasant than it once was. A few bits of junk sneak through, but it's probably one every two or three days, instead of several daily offers for luxury Rolex watches at 80% off, or...
Glad to hear you are still going to be at PAX. I just booked my trip for myself and my two kids. This will be our first PAX and we are all sooo looking forward to it. See you there.

2008 geek tour updates (with an update)
This is how the GeekTour ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper. Bad news, everyone: I'm not going to San Diego Comic-Con. I was planning on attending with TokyoPop, and when they laid off a ton of staff (including my editor, which made me sad) they also pulled out of Comic-Con. There is a very sl...
Wow, flashback...again. In October my kids and I lost our house due to a wildfire in the San Bernardino Mountains and one of the precious things I lost was my entire collection of Star Wars Toys that I had. From birthdays to Christmas to mowing lawns etc I was able to amass quite an impressive collection...I even showed them to my kids(yeah, geek here also). Seems I have been exposed to a lot of Star Wars stuff since then, searching sites for prices(for insurance), reading your book and the 'trade' and now this page...great stuff. Is that kid now a car salesman as it sounds like he would be good at it....

ps. will, my kids and I are still awaiting your Major Nelson debut.

Plaid Stallions is one of my favorite stops on the Internets for Gen X nostalgia. While Propelling this morning, I came across their scans of Kenner's 1978 Star Wars toy catalog. If you've read The Trade from Just a Geek and wondered just how awesome my Death Star play set was, take a look at Pl...
Any chance you are gonna do Major Nelsons show while you are up there? We are looking forward to that show. Thanks for signing our books at the LA Times Festival of Books.
