White Rocket 023: DragonCon Memories with Keith DeCandido

White Rocket 023: DragonCon Memories with Keith DeCandido

This week Van is joined by Keith RA DeCandido, famed author of many STAR TREK (and other movie/TV) novels and comics, to walk down memory lane–or rather to walk through the Hyatt Regency, Marriott Marquis, and Peachtree Street–as they recount their favorite DragonCon memories.

So put on your best Stormtrooper armor, share a hotel room with twelve other people, and enjoy!

This Weekend Meet ESO Co-Host Mike Gordon at HeroesCon!

This weekend, the Charlotte, NC show celebrates its 30th anniversary and promises to be better than ever! Mike Gordon will be at Artist Alley table #451, which is near “Indie Island,” so if you’re touring the island, keep an eye out for the tiki! Alongside Mike will be Friend-of-the-Station Peter Cutler, artist of Tiki Zombie, who will be available for sketches all weekend. ESO listeners will get a special discount on anything available on the table, so be sure to stop by and say “Howdy!”

Next on Earth Station One…

Next week, the Earth Station One crew grabs some popcorn, sodas, and snacks as we head back to the theater for our annual Big Summer Movie Review. That’s right, we’re looking ahead at the upcoming releases and picking our favorites. And we would love to hear from you. What movies are you looking forward to this summer? And why? Let us know at www.esopodcast.com, at the ESO Facebook Group, email us at esopodcast@gmail.com, or call us at 404-963-9057. We might just read yours on the show.

And if that wasn’t already enough for a full show, IDW editor Jeff Conner joins us to talk about the new Zombies Vs. Robots prose project along with other upcoming goodies from the publisher. Plus, the usual rants, raves, shout outs, and Mike’s Khan Report! It’s going to be an action-packed episode next week at Earth Station One.

The ESO Crew

Meet ESO Crew This Weekend

Two members of the Earth Station One crew will be making appearances in a couple of different states this weekend!

“Howdy!” Mike Gordon will be a guest at Marcon 47 (Multiple Alternative Realities Convention) in Columbus, OH April 6-8. This fantasy & science fiction show has been held in the Midwest every year since 1966 and features some great guests from a variety of media. The theme for this year’s gathering is “Galactic Beach Party” which sounds like a perfect place for Tiki Zombie! You can find Mike at no less than 3 comic book panels this weekend as well as in the dealer’s room. Every purchase at his table gets a free lei!

ESO at Metropolis Supercon March 10 & 11

ESO crewmembers Bobby Nash and Mike Gordon will be guests at the Metropolis Supercon in Metropolis, IL this weekend, March 10 & 11th. We both had a blast last year at this con and the line up for 2012 is even better! We will have our most recent projects available for sale and will be recording segments for upcoming episodes. If you’re in the area and want to sit in The Geek Seat, you’ll have the chance! Admission is only $5, so come on by and say “Howdy!”

Toy Fair 2012 Recap From Home

Hello, Earth Station One readers!

Let me preface my post here by introducing myself. I go by the name Phantom Troublemaker and do most of my writing over at Needless Things or on my Tumblr page, but the fellas here at ESO were kind (or foolish) enough to invite me to provide some content for you lucky folks.

I write about toys, movies, comics, music, or any other dorkery that interests me and I always try to keep things honest and maintain my own personal perspective. I love Doctor Who, Star Wars, GI Joe, and Batman; but if I think anything having to do with any of those is terrible I’m going to tell you all about it. At length. Also, I don’t restrain myself in my own environs, so be warned that your eyes may be assaulted by some colorful metaphors if you click on either of those above links. Stick to my ESO posts for the sanitized, mostly family-friendly versions.

I cover Toy Fair every year despite the fact that I do not attend. I’ll usually post the coolest stuff over on my Facebook page or on Twitter and then do a big recap at the end.
