I-Con 31 Recap: People I Want To Plug
Yesterday was for Dino Hunter MD, today it's everyone else.
#1- Herobes
Herobes are what the name implies: Superhero and geekery themed robes. Their set up was a nice little picnic table with some Dunkin' Donuts Muchkins and coffee. I sat down, put on the Batman robe they had, and oh shit was this comfortable. Alex, the salesman present, was pitching to me the whole time, but the robes were worth it. The $60 price tag is a little much for me, but if I got paid before I-Con I would defintely consider it.
MAYBE A SPONSOR ON THE BUNKER?
#2- GeekBoyPress
This guy was right across the table from us, and had a lot of prints on sale. I picked up a Psych one for the family back at home (they got me into that show). Hes a cool guy.
#3- Marc Gunn
Picked up his latest album, "Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits". I made an effort to only pick up stuff from indepentent artists and vendors, and this he seemed like a "big deal", I figured I'd pick up one of his album. Played a song or two on The Bunker, and I gotta say, I'm digging it.
#4- Rag-Nerd-Rok Podcast
My job sucks, and leaves me with long periods where I'm staring at the clock, slowly pecking away at the keyboard. Usually I'll have the Mega64 or WTFPod to listen to, and these guys have officially joined the rotation. There's a couple different segments on the show, discussion, mad libs, etc. that keep it interesting.

I-Con 31 Recap: The Dino Hunter M.D. Soundtrack
The other Big Thing for me this weekend was the screening on a webseries my friends worked on, Dino Hunter MD. Like my concert, it was a mostly friends-only affair, but it was fun to have everyone in there. I hung out at the table for a little while, gave away some free CDs, and paraded around with a robot!
David Ginn, one of the creators of the show was selling his books at the table, and I bought a copy. I should have bought a hundred copies because he let me crash at his place that weekend. So really, the best I can do now is GO BUY HIS SHIT! His book will be read somewhere in between The Importance Of Being Earnest, The Iceman Cometh, and the latter half of The Complete Sherlocke Holmes.
Also, with every purchase of the Dino Hunter M.D. DVD, you got some stickers, and a free copy of...
THE SOUNDTRACK!!!
Now available for your supple ears, all my Dino Hunter M.D. songs! I'll see it's cool to post the rest of the tracks here, but YAY!!
Rhythm Bastard...........Guitar, Lead Vocals, Drum Tracking, Bass
Jesse Schopher............Piano, Bass, Mixing
Matt Willemain.............Backing Vocals, Drums, Keyboard on "Space Tambourine", Solo Guitar on "Heroes Die", Writer of the "Dino Hunter MD" Theme

I-Con 31 Recap: I'm Making A Note Here
HUGE SUCCESS!!!
I've never had so much fun at a gig before!
There's going to be more of these, but fuck it, I'm tired.
The room was small, but I got a decent echo. I was even able to hook up my laptop to the PA system.
I opened with "Status Quo Radio" and "Cliffhanger", and it was great seeing people outside the door bob their heads.After I got a decent crowd, and they were into it.
Then I lost them sometime around the TGRK cover.The rest of the concert went great. Those who stayed loved every minute of it.
I still have lots more to write about I-Con, but that's it for now. If you got a CD and looked me up, thanks!
