The Fellowship of Fools

This is a shout out to my good buddy Charlie Briede, co-host of the best damn webcast on the planet, Fellowship of Fools. And why am I so happy with Charlie right now? Because he has agreed to cover Raven Rock on an upcoming webcast and has specifically invited Mike St. James along with the creators of the show. Just waiting for the finished pilot... (and I'm psychically nudging The Big D, Joe Cook, right now).

What is The Fellowship of Fools, you ask? Well, in my opinion is it exactly what is say it is. [/snark] It is hosted by 3 very off-the-wall, somewhat eccentric guys. The first is Charlie with ties to the video game industry and the crazy world of anime. (That's actually how I met Charlie - we were both peddling the software that rots kids brains. Remember the good old days, Chaz?) The interesting thing about Charlie is that he just knows everyone. Everyone. I can't even name names (he's been to Skywalker Ranch, ya'll!). Let's just say he has connections. He could be the next Perez Hilton if he wanted.

The second and third hosts are Brian Denham and Lee Duhig. Brian is crazy talented and Lee is bat-shit crazy so they make a great team. Brian is an artist who has worked for such asupicious publications as Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and LucasFilm. Lee is the maestro of the of the Guru-eFX coloring team. And they know everyone Charlie doesn't know.

So what happens on The Fellowship of Fools? These three men interview a celebrity guest, or review a new hot video game title, or preview a new anime video or screen a new movie (it's all those connections again). The best part is that they take calls from their audience. Anyone from anywhere can call in and ask their favorite celebrity a question (or hit on Charlie - he loves that). The show has quite a devil-may-care vibe, completely unscripted, often pee-your-pants funny. Soon they'll have Henry Thomas (of E.T.! My first love!) Anyway...

Their most important upcoming guest, of course, is the cast & creators of Raven Rock. As Charlie puts it, "Everyone likes to get a glimpse behind the curtain." All my friends need to call in for the broadcast and give 'em hell! You can listen to the rest of their witty banter every Thursday at 9:00pm Central Time (because, against all odds, their show is based in Dallas, TX). www.fellowshipoffools.com

Just one more note before I go. You know I hate to toot my own horn, but........ the guys asked me to write a press release for them and I updated the text on their "About" page: www.fellowshipoffools.com/about/ (I see you made some edits, guys. It's okay. I forgive you.) Let me know what you think!
