ARTC at DragonCon 2009, continued

This is ARTC's Sunday night show at DragonCon 2009. This is "Rory Rammer: Enemies Within" and "Omnilingual", in the Hyatt Regency's Regency Ballroom. (No, I don't stutter.) Again, we did not FILL the ballroom, but the house wasn't much smaller than Saturday's show. We appreciate that even more, since due to a communications snafu many of our attendees were expecting "Call of Cthulhu".

ARTC at DragonCon 2009

This is a slightly color- and exposure-corrected shot of ARTC's Saturday night show at DragonCon 2009. This is "Call of Cthulhu", in the Marriott Marquis' Atrium Ballroom. We did not FILL the ballroom, but I'd estimate at least 500 in attendance, and we appreciate every one of them.

Hey, folks, we're deep into getting ready for Dragon*Con, but you can look forward to hearing some of those performances here in October!  This assumes, of course, that you can't be there yourself.

By the way, a correction to the Dragon*Con schedule.
The Call of Cthulhu will be on Saturday night at the Marriott Atrium Ballroom at 7:30pm.
Rory Rammer, Space Marshal: Enemies Within! will be on Sunday night at the Hyatt Regency VI-VII at 7:00pm.

The above schedule is backwards from what Dragon*Con published in their pocket program guide, so pass the word and don't miss either show!

We'll be back in a public venue at the Academy Theatre in Avondale Estates on October 24 and 25, so be sure to tell all your non-congoing friends that they don't have to miss out on the radio magic!

This month we bring you the second part of Our Fair City by Robert A. Heinlein, adapted for audio by Brad Strickland and Thomas E. Fuller, performed live at LibertyCon in Chattanooga, TN on July 11, 2009.  This is part of our Dean's List series, available through our website.

Where's your Radio "Experience"?

Hear 2.0: Where's your Radio "Experience"?

Roofmovies

In my opinion not nearly enough thought, effort, and investment goes into the 'experience' of radio - so busy are we cutting costs and minimizing risk.

Experiences worth having generally come from the addition of creative inspiration.

If you want to compete with a torrent of creatively inspired distractions, consider whether you're creating 'radio' or an authentic, eye-catching and ear-catching consumer 'experience.'

Can anyone doubt this? Read the whole thing.

Happy Birthday, you thing from another world, you

Speaking of Call of Cthulhu (coming to DragonCon on Saturday, September 5), today is H. P. Lovecraft's 119th birthday.

That's all I had to say.

Podcast 82 - Bumpers Crossroads - "The Traffic Light" and "The Developer"

Size: 8M - Duration: 17:19

This month we go all the way back to 1993 and the Little Five Points community coffeehouse where our listeners enjoyed monthly performances from ARTC. Many of our most memorable series were born here as the writers frantically tried to keep up with this breakneck pace in live performance, including the Adventures of the Crimson Hawk, Rory Rammer Space Marshal, and Bumpers Crossroads. We bring you now two episodes of Daniel Taylor's gripping serial of the little town that time forgot, beginning with The Traffic Light and concluding with The Developer.

Podcast 80 - Christmas Rose

Size: 7M Duration: 14:54

Well, here we are. The end of another year of podcasting for ARTC. Ok, fine, we didn't exactly podcast for the whole year, but the point is that we took some needed time off and came back with a better situation than we had before. We're looking forward to podcasting at least monthly and more often when we can.

This week we bring you Christmas Rose by Kelley S. Ceccato, performed live at the Academy Theatre in Avondale Estates, GA, on December 6 and 7, 2008.

This story is one of my personal favorites of Kelley's. She's written lots of stuff for us and continues to improve in her craft and we are very lucky to have her. We hope you enjoy it.

As we move into the New Year we at ARTC hope that all of you enjoy all of the magic that your imaginations can provide. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone and we'll see you next year!
