Grailwolf's Geek Life for this week will be coming a bit late. Unfortunately, preparations for a friend's wedding have rather gotten in the way of media reviews, and SinginGypsyGrrl and I are leaving tonight for Virginia Beach, and the wedding itself (I tried to get out of it, but since I'm performing the ceremony I think they really want me there).

The good news is that this gives me an opportunity to try something new. A car cast! For those who don't know, a car cast is when you take a portable recorder along in a car and record on the fly. I have a fairly cheap mp3 player with voice recording capabilities, so we'll dust that off and see what it can do.

If the file is halfway decent, then I'll put it up on the feed as soon as I can. Possibly even from the beach if I can find a good Internet connection.

No promises though. If the recording needs work, I'll have to wait until I can get it home and clean it up (so Sunday at the earliest). And if it's really bad, then we'll scrap it and just get episode #7 out next week.

And, as always, thanks for listening. You guys are the greatest!

Hurdy gur,

This is a long episode!  If you don't have an mp3 player, you may want to listen to this one in chunks.  But don't put it off!  Important stuff in here for all geeks, especially fans of Joss Whedon and Serenity!

As promised, here are a few links from the show:

1. Mur Lafferty's article in The Escapist
2. The official "The Covenant" site
3. Official "Heroes" site
4. "Heroes" guide on TV.com

Finally, I can't link directly to the IMDB discussion about Serenity, because one must be logged in to the site in order to use the message board.  So here is the link to the main IMDB Serenity page.  Just go to the bottom of the page and you'll see the links to the message boards.

Check back tomorrow, I'll post a blog with links to some of the better "Serenity" and "Firefly" merchandise.

Hurdy gur,

Greetings all,

This really is nothing to see, as I'm just posting this so that odeo.com knows that I own this podcast.  Hope all is well, and you'll be hearing from me in just a couple days, so hang tight, wolfpack!

Hurdy gur,

-Marc

 

My Odeo Channel (odeo/a053606fb571b3d2)

This is the first Grailwolf's Geek Life listener appreciation special.  Yup, this one is all about you.

Since this was mostly your content, there are very few links this week.  However, I have to report that I was wrong, and that The Shillas MySpace page doesn't seem to come up when you search for their name.  Crazy, huh?  Just go straight to http://www.myspace.com/theshillas or go to my MySpace and look at my top eight.

And, as always, check out www.jonathancoulton.com for the rest of the music by our favorite geeky song-spinner.

Enjoy, and hurdy gur!
