Prom the way *we* want it

This is the prom where geeks rule, and freak flags fly. The only prom around with costumes and prizes so come as your favorite fantasy or sci-fi character. Don’t have a partner? Throw on an undershirt and bring a toaster – bam, you’re Chief Tyroll!

Music will be DJ’d by Tee Morris, and Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit is the Master of Ceremonies.

Feel free to spread the promo far and wide and add to your podcast!

Thanks to Paulette Jaxton for lending her voice

The Boom Effect

Just a quick plug for a web event happening next week called The Boom Effect. The event will start on Saturday, February 27th at 10AM Eastern time via UStream.

This charity drive is a live, online auction to raise money for the trust fund of Tee Morris’ daughter who lost her mother on January 5, 2010. There will be at least 5 hours of entertainment hosted by Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit. We’ll be in the live audience cheering everybody on, and likely on camera on the main feed as well. It’s shaping up to be a really fun time. You’ll be able to bid from the chat room, through e-mail, proxy-bid on the website, and I think via video or audio on Skype or UStream.

And with over 70 items up for auction (so far!!) there is something for everyone to get excited about and bid for! Everything from jewelry, to pictures, paintings by celebrities, custom music, book dedications, food, clothes, signed DVDs and books, knitwear, and even Mozart’s Balls!! Seriously, go check out everything up for auction!

Hope to see you there!

Zombie Connection

As an early Halloween treat, we’re pleased to bring you The Zombie Connection.

Lyrics: Kim Fortuner and Patrick E. McLean
Vocals: Kim Fortuner
Guitar: Tim Dodge
Orchestra and production: Chooch Schubert

The song was originally written and recorded at Dragon*Con 2009 in about 30 minutes. Tim and Kim agreed to record clean versions of their parts and let me wrap other instruments and sound effects around them.

enjoy!

Quick Note

I wanted to make everyone aware of additional recordings of Balticon panels that Viv and I participated on.

I didn’t feel right about dropping these directly into either of our podcast feeds since they contain no gaming, parenting, or blending content ๐Ÿ™‚ They are focused on podcasting/recording/audio techie stuff.

You can check them out over at my new site Random Acts of Chooch. The three panels contain different combinations of me, Viv, Scott Sigler, PG Holyfield, MAinPA, Thomas “Command Line” Gideon, Dan the Fan, Nobilis Reed, Marc “Grailwolf” Bailey, Heather Welliver, and Tyler Waldeman.

New ITB specific content is Coming Soonโ„ข

Balticon43 Techno

I wrote this song to highlight Balticon 43, our New Media Party as well as some great podcast and web comic creators. Enjoy!

Oh and feel free to include it in your own show if you’re a podcaster ๐Ÿ™‚
