Knights of the Guild


Been a super busy day today.. but in a good way.

Lots of Guild podcast news... first we got our drawing that we commissioned from the say person who did the drawings for The Guild cast. It turned out great (even thought I don't think I'm that large).

Second Jenni came over to record a promo and our first episode. After a rough start, trying to get skype to work so we could do an interview with Dani (Guild fan) every went smooth. Jenni and I just clicked.. we laughed and told stories and played off each other very well.

Third I cut the promo together

And Fourth, I finished the podcast website, which you can view here. I think it turned out great. I then uploaded the promo podcast to the website and also uploaded it to itunes for review. Once the approve the podcast you'll be able to subscribe to it on itunes.

Next up I have to do an interview with a crew member (Director Sean) and a cast member which I have figured out yet. Then I can cut the first episode together and post it up by Feb 15th.

It was a great day today.. lots of fun and I'm really looking forward to continuing this podcast for many years.

A Bright Spot

When I got home from that horrible day there was a package for me. I finally got my Star Trek The Next Generation figures that I ordered over a year and a half ago. Ensign Ro, Dr. Crusher, Nurse Ogawa and Chief O'Brien. So with those figures and watching one of my all time favorite TNG episodes my horrible day ended on a very bright note...

One of "those" days

Today started off bad, just a bunch of little things that didn't go right. I knew then I should have just gone back to bed.. but of course that was not a choice. And it just go worse from there. Work was a total crazy hectic mad house. Onlines, outputs, DVD's, schedules, computer issues, lap tops breaking, internet going down and the list goes on and on. Needless to say when 6:30pm came around I was ready to go home and put an end to this horrible day.

Foiled!!

Today I foiled the desk of my friend Will. A few weeks ago we were talking during lunch about practical jokes. He kept saying how good he was at it. Well when we got back he pulled a minor joke on another co worker of ours. She then came into my office and said we have to prank Will. So several weeks passed by and the day final came. Will have an appointment and left the office around 10am and wasn't expected to come back till 11:30am. So I hatched my plan. I purchased five rolls of aluminum foil and wrapped every single item on his desk. Computer, keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, pens, papers, post its, wires, coffee cup and even the coffee stirrer. If it was on his desk it was wrapped in foil.

Well he came back to his desk and had the biggest smile on his face. Of course he knew it was me who did it and proclaimed that he would have his revenge. So now I sit and wait for something to happen to me....

More Guildie Podcast Stuff

After choosing a name for the podcast I had to go and build a website for it. So much stuff goes into creating a podcast that I never thought of. It's a fun process but some things cost money. I plan on putting up a paypal donation button on the site and hope folks enjoy the podcast and will make a donation to cover production costs. I decided to go with podbean.com as my podcast host. It's a very simple website and explains exactly how to create the webpage, offers templates and has a step by step instructions on how to upload you podcast to itunes. It was well worth the $50 bucks for the year. I'll post a link when it's closer to being finished.

Naming my Podcast

I am starting a podcast for The Guild. I'll be co-hosting it with my friend Jenni. Both her and I are fans of the Guild and worked on season two together. We are trying to come up with a name of the podcast. I put out several requests for names on several forums and today Jenni and I finally picked a name for the podcast.

We decided to go with Knights of the Guild. Out of all the names given this one we both felt told people what it was about and gave a nod to the die hard fans as the guild's guild name is The Knights of Good.

So the full title is Knights of the Guild: The Official Fan Podcast of the webseries The Guild.
