Announcements for 6/15/10- Chicago area tweetup!
Hello once again everyone! Just a couple of quick announcements to keep you all in the loop as to what’s going on over here at cybrosis novel.com.
First, I’m back from Balticon! The con was a personal success for me and provided a wonderful opportunity to connect with the cast, meet some of the audience, and hopefully open the novel up to a larger audience. So if you’re new to the site from Balticon welcome and thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you like what you see and hear!
As long as I’m discussing Balticon I should also let you know that we were able to record the cast rountable and exit interview, codename: Cybreakfast! We had all of the main cast members in attendance, a handful of cameo voices, and a few friends and listeners sit in on what turned into almost an hour and a half of conversation, discussion, jokes, and a little roasting here and there. The audio needs a little cleaning up but I’m in process with it and it should go live after the final feedback episodes.
Yes, I said feedback episodes. I sat down last night to record the feedback episode with Christiana Ellis and J. Daniel Sawyer. After a few technical glitches (The maiden voyage of Off the Deep End Studios v2.0 had some bumps getting out of port) we were able to get through a fair portion of the feedback. Unfortunately the hour started getting late so we had to table the rest until we can record again next week. But fear not! I’ll be editing voicemail episode 3 part 1 later today and tomorrow and hope to have it out and on the feed by Friday morning.
One of the products of that conversation is the addition of a tip-jar paypal button here on the site. If you haven’t noticed it you’ll find it on the sidebar on the right, directly under the subscription links. I know there have been several of you out there who have asked about leaving a tip and in response, here it is. If you are inclined to leave a contribution to help offset the costs of producing the podcast, I thank you in advance.
Finally, as suggested by the title I’m also announcing a Chicago area meetup/tweet up. Podcast novelists Tee Morris and Philippa Ballantine will be visiting Chicago in a week and a half and we’ve put our heads together to organize a meet up for anyone and everyone in the Chicagoland area, or those who want to make the trip into town. We’ve reserved a private party room at the Goose Island Brewing Company in downtown Chicago and are hoping you’ll come out and join us as we catch up, try out the local brews (Neither Tee nor Pip have had Goose Island beer before), and just have a lot of fun. The Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox will be playing that day and while we will not be attending the game directly, our party room will have a TV where we can watch the game as they continue the cross town rivalry (classic),
Details are as follows -
Saturday June 26, 2010
Goose Island Brewy – Clybourn
1800 N. Clybourn
Chicago, IL 60614
5:45 PM until whenever
First pitch is at 6:10
Hope to see you there!
That’s it from me for now. I’m back to editing Feedback Episode 3 part 1 so you can have it in your possession by the end of the week!
