Episode 018: Farewell to you, Spanish Ladies

ahappygoluckyscamp — Mon, 20 May 2013 18:25:34 +0000

It’s pretty much what you would expect from a show where cartoonist Lucy Bellwood guests. Y’all gonna learn some shit about boats and what it’s like to be on a boat wearing canvas pants and what it’s like to draw comics about being on a boat in canvas pants. She also tells us about the worst punishment you can suffer at sea. (hint: It’s not the plank.)

Bonus content: We regale being drunk at a Zupans, we talk a bunch of shit about our beloved PDXYAR, we discuss the homoeroticisim of Master and Commander, Bobby tells you were air quotes originated, and Ben talks about the opera and more fucking birds. Speaking of birds, you can find a photo of the famed “potoo” on our Twitter feed.

Episode 17: Fine Literatchoor

ahappygoluckyscamp — Tue, 14 May 2013 03:50:09 +0000

Alison Hallett drops by the studio along with our other favorite Terry Blas to talk about authorial intent.

The whole thing kicks off with a discussion of the upcoming Ender’s Game movie and the disconnect between a book about empathy and Orson Scott Card’s repugnant views on homosexuality. Plus, Terry fills us in on how your ticket money will wind up in a mormon tithe. Bonus: we tell you how to read books!

Where’s the line drawn for you between liking someone’s work but not the person themselves? How shitty can a creator be before you shut them out completely?

Episode 16: Memory Lane and Other Trinkets

ahappygoluckyscamp — Mon, 06 May 2013 18:30:06 +0000

This week we made Bobby Roberts, the maestro of podcasting, (and co-host of Welcome to That Whole Thing) turn his mic on and let his wisdom flow out. With remarkable aplomb he turns us from the path of tangents and thwarts our awkward breaks in conversation.

A discussion on Game of Thrones turns into why I obsessivley need to search out the worst facets of humanity which turns into Jesse explaining why he began eating nuts to better himself as a person WHICH THEN TURNS INTO a short education on pecans. The Air Wolf! Perry Bible Fellowship! Conversation island!

After that dumbassery we take a walk down memory lane and recall how we drunkenly stumbled in to our terrible friendships with each other and the fine balance between humility and hubris.

How your podcast sausage is made

You may wonder what the process is for making the quality show you enjoy weekly. Take a peek behind the curtain won’t you?

Stumptown, 2013

ahappygoluckyscamp — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 06:36:59 +0000

I will not lie to you. I am fairly drunk and a little emotional so you are going to get this post.

Tonight I won the Stumptown Comic Arts award for best writing for The Legend of Bold Riley. I got to accept an award for something I’ve dumped all of my time into for the better part of a decade in front of my loved ones and some of my most treasured peers tonight. There was a couple minutes between my fevered emotion tears to thank some people but there were not enough minutes to say out loud how many there are. Let me do that now.

My parents Gwen and Chris Weathington, endlessly emotionally and finacially supportive of me.

The artists of Bold Riley 1, who worked so fucking hard on this book, Vanessa Gillings, Jason Thompson, Konstantin Pogorelov, Kelly McClellan. You are the best of the best and working with you was a dream.

Zan Christiansen my publisher at Northwest Press.

My old crew, Couscous Collective, Liz Conley, Sheanon Garrity, Andrew Farago, Pancha Diaz, Chloe Dalquist. These guys were with me from the start of Bold Riley and were endlessly helpful.

And now my new Portland family, David Gerber my handsome boyfriend, Jonah Rose, Mikey Nielson, Bobby Roberts, Erika Moen, Ben Coleman, Allen Bethel, Michael Ring, Kielen King, EVERYONE at Periscope Studios, Liz Allie, Jesse David Morgan…Jesus, I know I’m going to miss someone and feel awful later.

Comics are all I wanted to do with my life and I may be over reacting to this and I could go on about how hard I worked or that I’m hot shit, but here is the thing…

Without you- I’m nothing.

Thank you for reading.

Episode 15: BANG! ZIP! POW! LETS TALK ABOUT BATMAN

ahappygoluckyscamp — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 04:35:44 +0000

Jeff Parker is with us in the studio this week to talk about the new Batman 66 and to listen to us bitch about the new movie Oblivion. It goes without saying that we SPOIL THE SHIT out of that film, so heads up nerds.

Episode 14: You Gotta Fast Car

ahappygoluckyscamp — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:10:05 +0000

I was suprised by my esteemed coleagues at the studio today by our theme of automobile woes, although considering Jesses current ordeal with his honda I shouldn’t have been. Cartoonist Matt Grigsby was with us to take a hard left turn into tales of Orca horror then we swerve back into the oncoming lane of car anecdotes with tales of my badass mom making the mistake of lending me her mustang and Ben’s PT Cruiser incident.

And once again I bring up Mass Effect! Have I told you about Mass Effect?

Episode 13: Jaded, Desensitized Alcoholics

ahappygoluckyscamp — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 04:39:24 +0000

My former Cort and Fatboy co-host and personal role model, Courtenay Hameister, joins us this week to tell me how best to improve upon a Ben Coleman Livewire and I share what it’s like to go to a Coleman Passover Seder.

We didn’t really have an overriding theme this time, guys. We pretty much just sat down and had a giggle fest about poop jokes and anonymous sex. Plus, we discussed how to write award-winning comedy, poured over the drawbacks to podcasting drunk, and made more jokes about my vagina than anyone really cares to hear.

And, as a brief aside, I’m really sorry that for the past few shows you’ve all been subjected to the background noise of my allergy attacks. That should stop in the next couple months.

Episode 12: Kneel Before that Glowing Box in your Living Room

ahappygoluckyscamp — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 21:13:52 +0000

When Terry Blas shows up with a list of his favorite television programs, we throw any theme and authority we have out the window and dive head first into the worlds of those little people who live inside our precious glowing entertainment haven known as the television. Doctor Who, The Last Airbender, Game of Thrones, and even My Little Pony arise as topics of discussion as we babble on about our favorite shows like a pair of mothers at their childrens’ birthday parties.

So kick back, relax, and enjoy hearing your favorite podcast talk about those lesser forms of entertainment that you must view with your eyeballs.

(You can attribute the late update to Leia finally finding a place to live and moving into it. This is also the reason the list that we mention on the show didn’t make it into the post yet.)

Episode 11: Domo Arigato Mr Roboto

ahappygoluckyscamp — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:26:19 +0000

This week we are blessed with the visionary team of Paul Guinan and Anina Bennet to talk about what is best in life. ROBOTS! TECHNOLOGY! THE FUTURE.

It turns out if you put the five of us in a room you will get a tasting flight of sci fi novel synopsis, a discussion of tropes and where we think the future is headed.
