Fantastic Dimensions – 103

Welcome to the third edition of Fantastic Dimensions, the video weblog which explores the events, the culture, the places, the people of science fiction fandom.

This episode was shot at Arisia 2008, held January 18-21, 2008 at the Hyatt Regency, Cambridge, MA.

Contained herein you’ll find videographic evidence of the treacherous Scaling of Mount Arisia, complete with a delightful interview with the ever entertaining Capybaron, aka Robert Luoma.

You will also find yourself witnessing selected snippets of the Mad Scientist Laugh Contest.

The inmates in charge of this particular asylum were Mark A. Mandel (immoderator), Howard Beatman, Mario di Giacomo and Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman.

Only one interview this time around, so I think I’ve strayed from original premise of presenting to you my favorite part of conventions, my fellow fans. Look for more of that sort of content in future episodes, from Balticon, Readercon, Gaylaxicon and Denvention.

Fantastic Dimensions – 102


Here it is, the second episode of Fantastic Dimensions, shot at LACon IV in 2006, the 64th Worldcon.

This episode contains an XCOR demonstration, geeking out with Mars rovers, reunions with old friends (Jan Bender, Gary Echternacht, Andy Bustamente, Ellen Pickering, Martin Spizman, Kelly Pschirrer), partying with aliens and famous people playing on the bridge of the Enterprise.Oh, and Zaphod dancing with Barbarella (you naughty, naughty girl).

Lower resolution that the first episode, issues with Sony Vegas. Sigh.

Rendering issues with Sony Vegas all sorted out. I had to clean out the heat sink on my cpu.
