Dragon*Con, Dragon*Con, Dragon*Con!!!

This episode is all about Dragon*Con, THE massive Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Comic Book, Horror, Pop-Culture, Film, Television, Music, Art, and everything-else-that's-cool convention that's held in Atlanta, Georgia every Labor Day Weekend (which means it's getting started next week!). They also happen to feature a number of concerts from Darkwave, Industrial, and Goth bands, which is how I was first drawn into the fold back in 2005. 

This episode features sounds and songs entirely related-to and inspired-by guests that will be appearing at the convention, fan panels that will be held at the convention, and bands that will be performing live -- including brand new releases from The Cruxshadows and Ego Likeness.

Currently, I serve as the Assistant Track Director for the Horror & Dark Fantasy Track, so there are many references to the panels, guests, and topics we have in our rooms this year (see our full schedule HERE), but my Dragon*Con coverage is not limited to just what we're doing. My interests are varied (scattered?), and this episode goes all over the map of Geekdom, as one might call it: Horror, Comics, Sci-Fi, Cartoons, Dark & Weird Music, etc.

On the playlist below, you will find not only the list of everything played on this podcast, along with links to each artist featured, but you will also find my notes on where to catch each related guest or performer at the convention (in small print below each name) -- because, well, I'm here to help. Of course, you'll want to check the Official Program Guide to make sure of these times, or install one of their many Smartphone Apps (for Android, iPhone, or Other devices).

If this podcast serves its purpose, it will turn you on to some attractions at Dragon*Con that you might not have considered. Failing that, it should at least get you as excited to hurry up and get there as I am right now. So, grab this episode and listen to it on the ride down, or stream it while you're packing up your costumes, and I'll see you at the Con!

NOTE:  This podcast is independently produced, and not officially endorsed by Dragon*Con. 'Nuff said.

Also: If you're wondering what panels I will be moderating this year, here's the list:

• Friday 1pm: "An Hour with the Cruxshadows" [Embassy A+B]
• Friday 7pm: "State of the Goth Scene 2012"  [Embassy A+B]
• Saturday 1pm: "Meet the Bands: Spooky Music" (w/ Voltaire, Calabrese) [Embassy A+B]
• Saturday 8:30pm: "Hammer Horror"  [Embassy A+B]
• Sunday 1pm: "David Lynch: Inside the Black Lodge" [Embassy A+B] *(panelist)
• Sunday 7pm: "Meet the Bands: Darkwave/Industrial" (w/ Die Sektor, I:Scintilla, Ego Likeness) [Embassy C]

NOTE: The Horror & Dark Fantasy Track panels will be in the same rooms this year, but they have new names. What was called 'Montreal Vancouver' is now Embassy A+B, and 'Cairo' is now Embassy C (both in the Hyatt).
