Post Dragon*Con 2008 and iTunes Reviews?

Dragon*Con time is over for another year.

I really enjoyed my time this year and here's why:

  • David Moore from The Game Master Show podcast stayed with me, hung out with me, and defrayed the cost of getting to and from Dragon*Con and bought me some meals. Yay, David!
  • Hope Evey came to visit unexpectedly, which is a delight past all imagining.
  • I got to meet Jack and Theresa Jaffee from 12 Volt Theater. They are a wonderful couple we had a great time trolling the various huckster booths at Dragon*Con together.
  • My time on staff at the Podcast Track was pleasant and not at all onerous. I probably would have spent the time there, anyway, so it was wonderful.
  • I got to play Spirit of the Century with some cool new gaming friends, plus the aforementioned Jack and Theresa.
  • My Second Life panel went well, though we had a griefer kid show up and proceed to heckle us from a prone position in a whiney voice. I guess you have to have the griefer experience to really understand Second Life, anyway.
  • Thursday, I had dinner with PG Holyfield and his wife, Liza; Rick and Anne Stringer from the Variant Frequencies podcast, Thomas (cmdln) from The Command Line podcast, Kimi from the Tale Chasing podcast, and her partner Soulhuntre.
  • Friday, I had a very loud dinner with Jack, Theresa, Kentucky John, Katsuhiro, and Leon Dale - it was at a diner with karaoke.
  • I got to see my friend Gary, his wife and friends of his and another guy from my UGA days: Thom Luthman! Also my old White Wolf compatriots John and Bill Bridges and Andrew Greenberg!
  • I ended up the 'con with a fantastic dinner with a whole bunch of really cool podcasters: JC Hutchins, Tee Morris, John Cmar and his wife Laura Burns, Chris the Fixed Kitty from the Adult Space Child Free Podcast (and her partner, Henry), along with Rick and Anne Stringer (who seemed to be bookending the Dragon*Con experience for me!) and Anna  from Washington fromVirginia. Then we got to play some Mad Scientist's University back at the Hilton before it was time for Katarina and I to go home.

And that's that. If I've forgotten someone, let me know and I'll be glad to update this post :)

A Simple Request

Reviews on iTunes help podcast rankings, which helps make a podcast findable by people who haven't heard them before. Some of my podcasts have reviews on iTunes, and some of them don't. If you've enjoyed them, I would like to ask you if you would please leave a review on iTunes.

It will help other people discover them, and it doesn't cost you anything but a few minutes of your time. I've left a few podcast reviews myself on my favorite podcasts, and it takes a little time for the iTunes staff to release the review postings, so don't expect to see them show up for a little while.

Here are some iTunes links for my podcasts, just to make it easy for you.

    It was great to meet you at Dragon*Con! Thank you, again, for the hard work you put into making the podcasting track happen.
