Okay, bad pun. But if you killed me, you wouldn’t get any updates, now would you?<\/p>\n
As Volume 2 gets closer to completion, so does our deadline. <\/p>\n
Deadline — what deadline? <\/p>\n
I’d set a private deadline for myself some time ago, then slowly divulged it here and there to see if it was a realistic one. Among my sordid and sundry reputations (as a Quiet Loner, short fuse in residence, token hyper-nerd, or even blood-sucking freak of nature, to name but a few), I had often been accused of harboring unrealistic goals. I pick my battles. Sometimes I feint.<\/p>\n
Going back on point: My private street date has become a hard and fast deadline. The deadline for Volume 2 is March 31. <\/p>\n
There’s a simple reason for that. The American Society For Science Fiction Audio in Minnesota holds the Mark Time Awards<\/a> every year. Every year they give Mark Time Awards to the SF audio of their choice and Ogle Awards for fantasy\/horror audio. We’re gunning for the Ogle.<\/p>\n Of course, a sincere “wow!” would do. But Afterhell Volume 2 is worthy of the Gold Ogle.<\/p>\n If not Volume 2, then Volume 3. If not Volume 3, then Volume 4. If not Volume 4, I’ll blast open their vault with a Death Star superlaser and take what’s mine.<\/p>\n So for their sakes, wish us luck.<\/p>\n Also, put a big fat circle around March 28th<\/span> and April 4th <\/span>on your calendars. We’re about to hit Canada’s airwaves. The Sonic Society<\/a>, a radio showcase of modern audiodrama syndicated across Canada, has invited us to join their exalted ranks.<\/p>\n Our friends at WRW suggested that we send them a copy of “Dark Descent,” so we did. Apparently it sent the Sonic Society folks into a tailspin! They rearranged their production schedule to squeeze us in. Host Jack Ward even called us up to interview with me and Jamie. Fifty-fifty, whether our cats will also appear on the show.<\/p>\n If you miss those airdates, no problem. Podcasts<\/a> will be available. The Sonic Society — tune it in or download the MP3’s. You can hear us babble and grope for answers to Jack’s questions! <\/p>\n
