Next week, the ESO crew looks to the future as we peel back the various predictions of life in the Future

According to Sci-Fi. Science Fiction books, movies, and TV shows have given us many glimpses of what life might be like in the future. Some of it is hopeful, ala Star Trek’s various TV series while others paint a bleaker image ala Terminator and there are also those that show that people, whether they live on Earth or out in space, are still people ala Babylon 5. Whatever fictional future you like best, ESO is looking forward to visiting it next week. Plus, if that wasn’t enough, you still get the usual assortment of Rants and Raves, Doctor Geek’s Moment of Science, shout outs, The Khan Report, and The Geek Seat. Join us for a journey through time on the next all new episode of the Earth Station One podcast.

ESO would love to hear from you. What is your favorite future as depicted by sci fi? Share your favorites with us at esopodcast@gmail.com, 404-963-9057, www.esopodcast.com, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or Pinterest. Who knows, we might just share yours on the show.

Needless Things Podcast Episode 5: HeroesCon 2013

Bobby Nash, Phantom Troublemaker, and Mike Gordon at Heroes Con 2013

I attended Heroes Con a few weeks back and sat down with my Earth station One/Earth Station Who cohorts, Mike Gordon and The Phantom Troublemaker to record a segment about the con for Phantom’s Needless Things Podcast. You can listen to it here.

From The Phantom Troublemaker:
Hey Phantomaniacs!

Swing on over to NeedlessThingsSite.com and check out the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

This time your ol’ pal Phantom Troublemaker is LIVE from HeroesCon 2013. I sat down for on-site interviews with Jennifer of Handmade Stuffs, Kyle Starks, Jamie Cosley, Hashim of Silver Panther Studios, and even ended up with a surprise interview with Jim Rugg.

After all of that I even sat down with ESO’s very own Award-Winning Bobby Nash and the King of Tiki himself, Mike Gordon for an overview of our time at the con.

ESO's Bobby, Phantom Troublemaker,
and Mike Gordon

I got back home from Heroes Con this morning. I was only able to attend on Saturday, but it was a long, but fun-filled day. I spent most of the day catching up with friends (way too many to mention everyone here, but it was great talking with everyone), but I also managed to meet several new people as well, which is always nice. There’s a whole lot of talent in Charlotte this weekend. Of course, I was so busy talking I didn't take a lot of photos, but there are a few posted here.

I would also like to send a special get well soon to Yaya Han who had to miss part of the con. Get well soon.

Thanks also to Mike Gordon for carpooling to the con with me.

Heroes swag

Good conversation makes the many miles pass by faster.

And for those who came out for the premiere of The Big Bad: An Anthology of Evil at the con, thank you and I hope you enjoy the book.

Heroes Con is an incredibly fun convention for fans of comic books. A family-friendly atmosphere, there were a lot of kids in attendance and also a lot of fine folks in costume, which is always fun to see. I took a few photos. Click on the images for a larger view.

Thanks to Shelton Drum and his team for another fun show.

See you next year.

Bobby

One of the best comic book conventions around.

Book statue. Too cool.

Heroes has doubled its floor space. Massive.

Too cute. The Doctor and a Dalek. 

Always great catching up with talented writer and pal, Vito Delsante.

Too cute, but wouldn't stand still long enough to get a clean photo.

Superman did not like Captain America touching him.

When Bobby, Phantom Troublemaker, and Mike Gordon get together, hilarity ensues..

HEADING OUT TO HEROES CON

Meet me, along with my ESO cohosts Mike Gordon and the Phantom Troublemaker today, Saturday, June 8th at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC. If you see me walking the floor, stop by and say “Howdy!”

RENEWED!

I renewed www.bobbynash.com for 2 more years. I guess I'll have to keep on writing so I can keep it updated, huh? Please stop by for a look. I try to post something daily. I'm usually successful, unless I'm at a convention.

Speaking of conventions, on Saturday, June 8th I will be at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC. John Hartness, the creator of the new book, The Big Bad: An Anthology of Evil will have copies of the book on hand at his booth, AA-2017 if you're interested in checking it out. 

Of course, I will be happy to sign copies of any of my work. I won't have a table, but will be walking the floor. I'm sure I'll stop by John's booth a few times.

You can learn more about the convention at http://www.heroesonline.com.

See you there.

CONCAROLINAS/MARIETTA COMIC AND ANIME CON WRAP UP

My book display on Sunday.

This past weekend was a blur of activity as I visited not one, but two conventions. I know, crazy, right? Together with my Earth Station One podcast co-host, Mike Gordon, I hit the road on Saturday for ConCarolinas in Charlotte, NC. A literary heavy con, this hotel-based show features some great authors. I was only on hand a few hours so I didn’t have a table set up. I ran into some great friends and even met some new folks as well. It was a fun time.

Here are a couple of photos. We were only there a short time and I was so busy talking I didn’t take many. I’ve got to start being better about remembering to snap some pics. As always, click ont he photos for a larger view.

The hall of authors. Or Author Row. I love this part of the con.

An awesome Batmobile replica and Ecto-1.

After the con, we stopped by some comic shops on the return trip to Georgia. Sadly, we missed a couple that were closed by the time we got to them. We’ll have to swing by for another visit next time.

On Sunday, Mike and I added another ESO host as Mike Faber joined us for the Marietta Comic/Anime Con in Marietta, GA. This was the first time for this particular con, although Mario Russo, the con organizer, has done other shows in McDonough and Warner Robbins. I did have a table at this con. There was a great crowd and I caught up with some familiar faces and met several new folks there as well. Even the late afternoon rain storm didn’t cool, off the con. I had a great time and thought there were some cool costumes on hand as well as some great guests that included writers, artists, publishers, podcasters, and zombies from The Walking Dead.

Some of the photos here are provided by Mark Shafer, Melodie Goodwin (who came out despite just having had a tonsilectomy - feel better soon), and MJDonline. Thanks so much for the photos. I often forget to get photos of myself behind the table.

You never forget your first Forbush man!

Very cool look.

She was just too adorable.

I smell a smackdown brewing.

Another nice duo.

Loved their costumes. Great job.

I know that guy.

Both shows were a blast. If you’ve not had the opportunity to check out either show, you should give them a look next time. I think you’ll have a good time.

Next week I’m off to Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC on Saturday, June 8th. The following week I will be in Nashville, TN for Hypericon.

If you’re at either show, please stop by and say hello.
