Last night I went home, ate leftovers for dinner, and then went out and caught the bus to go see a show. Pictures were encouraged:

lisekatevans offered me a ticket and, after a bit of deliberation, and hearing that meowtima was going to be there too, I decided that I didn't want to just sit at home on a Friday night and went. I had no idea what to expect other than what was on the Starlight Radio Dreams website:
None of the serials on that page were featured this week because they're starting new ones. Having played Dragon Quest, my favorite was NPC, all about a village shopkeep whose items are insulted by the wandering hero and, enraged, chases after him to prove the value of his stock. This week was tutorial forest, featuring unskippable cutscenes, slimes, new party members, and learning how crafting works.
The other serial, entitled "Celtica, Enemy of Rome," was nice too, but didn't have the immediate attachment that a video-game-based show did.
Afterward,lisekatevans told me that people were gathering at her house for an afterparty and, after saying goodbye to meowtima, I took her up on her invitation. People ended up being most of Starlight Radio Dreams's cast, so we sat around and they ate nachos and pizza rolls and swapped stories of working at Renn Faires. I expected Faire employees to be underpaid, but I hadn't realized by how much. 
I didn't talk much, and didn't order any food or drinks at the restaurant, but it was nice to get out and socialize. I even met a tabletop designer who had heard of Delta Green and occasionally drinks beers with Ken Hite!
It was a good night.
And now, I'm off to run Delta Green.
Live comedy show about podcasting. We feature audio drama style serials surrounded by delightful banter from our hosts and short ‘clips’ from a galaxy of hilarious misfit podcastsI liked it a lot! It was half-scripted and half ad libbed, with the basic structure of a troupe of podcasters auditioning a new member mixed with a few radio-drama-style serials. As it's normally a podcast with live shows every couple months, the humor was almost entirely audio.
