Favorite Moments of Dragon Con 2025 (Patreon)

Once again, I had a fantastic Dragon Con. I'm so happy I live so close to the convention so I can make it out and also make it a family event.

Andrew and I recorded a short, public podcast exclusively for our Patreon page. But I thought I'd write out some of my favorite moments from the event.

Well, first and foremost was our Saturday show. I had a big surprise for Andrew McKee, my fellow Brobdingnagian Bard. We had a big show in the Filk room. The show was nearly full. We played several new songs. But we did it with the help of our brand new, limited-edition Brobdingnagian Bards Ducat.

This antique-style coin has our faces on it. I used it as a prop throughout the show to help figure out what songs we were gonna play. It kept Andrew on his toes. He had no clue what song would come next... even less than normal. LOL

So after singing Ducats, I challenge Andrew to a BOG OFF, but there was a hitch...

A Bog Off is something Andrew and I started a few years back on Facebook. We would each sing "Rattlin' Bog" and see who could do it better.

Andrew typically won. So he got a bit cocky when I challenged him to a Bog Off.

But instead of ME singing the song, my daughter Inara stepped up on the stage and started trash talking him. Then they sang.

Andrew did a noble job, worthy of a being on a ducat, but Inara obliterated him. He humbly conceded in case you couldn't tell from the loud cheers in the audience. It was amazing!

FIREFLY DRINKING SONGS was another fantastic show, though it did come with its own hitch. I thought we would have a Bigger room. Turns out, it was Smaller. But that didn't stop. the 160+ people in the room from singing their hearts out.

It was a riotous fun show. I only wish more folks could make it. So I started putting an idea I've had into the ears of some of the track directors. I want to do a Bob Hope USO style show where Mikey and I come out onto the fields of Serenity Valley to sing songs for the Browncoats.

We shall see if I can make it truly happen. Stay tuned...

In the meantime, we introduced brand-new Firefly Drinking Songs t-shirts and a Blue Sun shot glass. If you're interested in either, stay tuned. They will be available for sale next week.

HOBBIT DRINKING SONGS was OMG! We were again in a smaller room. But you couldn't tell from the audiences. They were PACKED with people. And folks were singing and dancing. I unintentionally found myself the head of a Conga line during one song. I don't know how that happened. I was just trying to sing for the back of the room too. But wow. Crazy!

Other than that, it was just great seeing everyone. Most I see just once a year. But I even got to meet a few people I've chatted with online for possibly 20 years and never met. That was really cool

Any case, I can't wait to do it again next year. But for now, I just need some more sleep. :)
