Professor Elemental hosted a Q & A Panel and allowed us to come probe the pith helmet contents for stories of

Professor Elemental’s Adventures in his Time Trousers through the Stargate.

I enjoyed the insight into Professor opinion on the joy of art and inspiration.

The audio is a little rough due to being recorded outside at old Tucson studios with the wind.

At Wild Wild West Con we join the delightful Madame Askew & the Grand Arbiter as they share strategies for wielding a well-timed compliment in the heart of a duel or during teatime. Smooth your way, make friends, & further the plots of world domination with the perfect compliment.

I like that they even provide tips on how to receive compliments!

For more on compliment dueling please see our other videos and recordings:

I got to sit in on an awesome and candid panel on business from the point of views of Thomas Willeford, Tobias McCurry, Cedric Whittaker!

So you want to be a professional Steampunk? Even a professional maker or artist? It’s not impossible to live the dream but there’s a reason they call it a dream. We would love to help you out with tales of our experiences.
