Happy almost Dragon Con
everybody!
I am excited about every
Needless Things Podcast that happens (until I start editing, anyway),
but I am extra excited about this one. There are a lot of very
talented cosplayers and costumers in the world, and I know a few of
them, but there was one conversation that sparked my desire to focus
on costumes for this year’s Dragon Con coverage and it was with
this lady.
So we had a big ol’
costume conversation and it was awesome. And then it hit me and I
said, “Oh, hey – you’re DJ Spider!” and told her that she had
done a Q&A for me last year
and I normally wear a mask and stuff. We talked with the other fella
– I believe his name is Sean, but I’m not sure - for a while
longer and it was great. So great, as a matter of fact, that as it
was going on I was actually kind of pissed that I couldn’t record
it. There was way too much noise in the bar for that. Which is
another indication that it was fascinating – I normally won’t
tolerate conversations in loud places. I just check out. But this was
one I was willing to put the effort into maintaining. I knew I was
going to have to contact DJ Spider before Dragon Con came around.
This level of costume discussion deserved a Needless Things episode,
especially now that former costuming master Mr. Beau Brown was on
full time.
That’s all you need to
know aside from the fact that this is a great talk. There are some
minor audio issues that I know I shouldn’t even point out but I
simply can’t help myself. They weren’t detectable during the call
and I couldn’t fix them in editing. But I suppose that’s just
what’s going to happen from time to time when you use a bunch of
free services to do your thing. I’m just proud of myself that I
recorded the whole thing. My call recorder just had an update that
added an exciting new feature: Now you get this pop-up every twenty
minutes asking if you want to continue recording. If you don’t
press “YES”, it stops. This is a wonderful tool if you find that
your life is in need of a little more senseless aggravation. I should
just be thankful that I still have unlimited recording time. I’m
already pouring enough money into this thing without having to
purchase a call recorder, too (which I know I will have to at some
point).
But none of that matters
because here’s me, Mr. Beau Brown, and DJ Spider on what I honestly
believe is one of the best episodes I’ve done on this podcast or
any other. Hope you like it:
Also, be sure and check back later today for my first actual post of this year's Dragon Con coverage. Remember - share Needless Things with your friends!
