…since this is the week for the Cincinnati Old-Time Radio and Nostalgia Convention, so posts here will take on a decidedly OTR feel later this week (the convention is Friday and Saturday), with posts prior to it a little sporadic (not that they haven’t been anyway lately…). I’m taking way too much equipment to the convention, what with the computers, printers, video cameras, still cameras, cell phones, satellite radios, etc., etc., so if I look a little weighed-down (I mean with other than my portly frame), don’t be surprised.

I’ll get photos from the event posted as quickly as humanly possible, although we all know how that goes - ask Brian Gari or Craig Wichman how speedy I am getting photos posted. I’m also taking a USB telephone; while your chances of finding me on Skype are pretty slim, still, if you aren’t going to be at the Con and use Skype, look me up by name.

I will have a few of the 2005/02 OTR fundraiser discs with me, and some of the DVD fundraiser discs as well (serial chapter, cartoon, and the feature, “It’s a Joke, Son!” starring Kenny Delmar and featuring a young June Lockhart), neither of which I’ve gotten posted to the store yet, but no hard sell I promise. So if you’re going to be at the convention, look me up and say hello. I’ll be even easier to find this year, since a good bit of the time I’ll be next to the cutest seven-year-old redhead you’ve ever seen.

From CNN/Money: Government legislation accused of helping push up gas prices

Much as I love to read about government conspiracies, I’m pretty sure the only blame the federal government can get is for doing stupid things, a quite common occurrence.
