So yesterday, Mark Osier, the Music Guest of Honor at Westercon did a Writing Excuses themed concert. It was wonderful. All four of us were sitting there grinning like idiots during the show. We recorded it, so hopefully we can play the truly awesome song he wrote about the podcast for you. Real soon now. You can watch to the video I took on my phone, although it’s missing the very beginning.
Where can you find me today?
