Parsec Award Winners

UPDATE: Michael and Evo's Wingin' It! was live from Dragon*Con, and their show is up! It's a MUST LISTEN folks, and let me tell you why. Mz. Geek-Fu herself, Mur Lafferty, reads an essay live. That she wrote while drunk. She explains the reasoning behind her lack of contributing to the show. Let's just say... it has to do with, um... intimate parts of the human body...
Trust me, this ain't your normal essay from Mur. ;-) I honestly think this essay is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.

A small, warning, there is absolutely no way to prepare you for the extensive use of the words "d***" and "c***" in this, so if that isn't your thing, please don't blame me. I warned ya.
Though I found it kinda hot... ~DC

Can't argue with Doctor Floyd. I had a five-spot on him myself.

Oh, and by the by... if you can't win a Parsec Award, bag somebody who can. We've got a two-episode pilot for a Space Adventure series called Deck Gibson: Far Reach Commander written by Matt Wallace due to be recorded later this month for inclusion in our Decoder Ring Summer Showcase... as that title implies though, you're gonna have to wait nine or ten months to hear it. (what a tease I am!)
