Episode 21! You can get it on iTunes by searching for the Geekocracy Podcast or you can check it out at the burner of feeds.

On this episode of the Geekocracy Podcast host’s Rudy and Mason talk about… uh… Prelude to the Green Lantern thing… Batwoman… and other stuff!

On a different note, looking up “Batwoman” in google images yielded this…

Young Liars was cancelled?! Aw, crap. I mean, I’m not surprised. We all knew it’d happen. I just wish it didn’t.

Howdy, everyone! I’ve just posted a not-so-normal Geekocracy Talk Cast. Lynda Barry and Chris Ware recently had a conversation together at the Chicago Lit Fest and I was there to record it.

Check it out by looking Geekocracy Talk Cast up on iTunes or by going to the talk cast feedburner feed.

Episode 20! That seems like an accomplishment… Well, maybe not so much. You can get it on iTunes by searching for the Geekocracy Podcast or you can check it out at the burner of feeds.

Let’s see… What did Rudy and I talk about this episode? It was just two days ago, you’d think I’d remember. We talked about television, specifically shows that have recently been cancelled. We also talked about Incognito (the best Brubaker book out this week), Captain America, Invincible and much, much more!

Advice from a Nobody: Meeting Neil Gaiman...

You may have read that I met Neil Gaiman recently. What you don’t know is that I did so by being a ninja.

Neil Gaiman was recently here in the good ol’ Chicago attending the Printers Row Lit Fest and being (get this) honored by the Chicago Tribune as a children’s author. You can bet your sweet grandmother’s medication money that I was there, in the front row… watching Dave Eggers. It was Dave Eggers, how could I not go see Dave Eggers? He’s the man. Besides, Neil Gaiman’s “honoring” was immediately after Dave Eggers and in the same auditorium. As I sat and watched Dave Eggers up on stage doing his nicest guy in the world routine (which he is) an idea occurred to me… I should give Neil Gaiman my comics (left in my bag from S.P.A.C.E.). But how?

Neil Gaiman was no doubt back stage somewhere in a comfortable room where beautiful women fed him fruit and I was determined to find that room. After Dave Eggers’ panel ended I put the black hood of my zip-up sweater over my head and ran past security through the door that took me backstage. I crept the hallways next to the stage like a ninja… a sexy ninja (because I’m sexy and a ninja). I hid in the shadows, clung to walls, and round house kicked imaginary enemies with Chuck Norris-like grace…
