Hey guys,

I know you’re going to be at CAPE and so is my podcast The Break Room.

Here’s the deal: we’re supposed to interview a bunch of these comic types and act as MCs or something. Tthe secret is that while I’m a casual comic book fan, I probably couldn’t carry a hefty conversation with most of them. The rest of the TBR crew is even less equpped than myself.

I’m bringing my recording equipment to do our show but I could use a helping hand on these interviews. If you’re not bringing your equipment to record, you’re more than welcome to use it Saturday to record a ton of interviews for CBQ and I can send you the files. I’ve got four mics, a mixer and two laptops to use.

Either way, I really need help or I’m going to look dumber than usual.

We should most def put the CBQ guys to work.

I’m also going to see if my friend Steve will load us his camcorder again for the event.  Zeus is working on getting WiFi for the event as well.

Cool. Well, if we can arrange a meet up on Saturday morning that would be great.

Ah nuts!  I’m not going to be there Saturday.  I’ve got this event thing to go to. :-)

*with bells on baby!

Yikes!  This sounds great, but our primary goal with our ‘cast is to build community among LGBTQ comics fans.  Our interviews, although not totally homocentric, would likely reflect that aim.  If that’s cool, then we’re in.  We’d also need a list of who’s getting interviewed and in what format so we could do some homework.

Marc, I think what my partner Eric is saying is: YES! YES! YES!  We would LOVE to help do the interviews (as long as we get to do some for ourselves as well). This is our first time at an event like this, so I can’t think of a better way to get to know the in’s and out’s of something like this from the seasoned ‘casters.

So, put us to work! Work it girl! Give a twirl! Do your thing, on the runway!

See…we’re so gay, I just made a RuPaul reference. Besides, how can I refuse someone with lips like yours? ;o)

I think you guys will have a great time.  Mark has a great set up.

Mark has a great set up.

Is that what we’re calling it these days?

I’m excited to see how the pros do it.  We only have a $25 mic we named Betsy, a handheld digital voice recorder (“Betsy, Jr.”), and a laptop that has seen better days.

Yeah, you’re more than free to do your own interviews for your own show.

Can we do a middle ground type deal? What I need for my show is like two 5-10 minute mixed-show interviews with like James O’Barr and maybe Tony Bedard that are sexual-preference neutral if that’s cool since we target everyone.

Then we can work something out to where we can run in shifts so you guys can do interviews targeted towards your audience for your show on our equipment and then we’ll be recording some other segments for our show as well througout the day.

Will that suffice for everyone?

I’m not sure where our table is but I’ll be there around 9:30 and we can work stuff out.

Tony Bedard: Retro Rocket, CrosGen: Route 666, Negation, DC: Countdown, Marvel: Exiles

This sounds great.  Thanks!

You guys should team up and do all the interviews together.  It’s not like you have the same audience.

Plus, PopSyn already has some interviews on the site as good background material.
