Matt caught up with Lester Smith Con on the Cob 2013. We chat about his current writing projects ( Cthulhu Haiku II and Mythos Madness) and the games he has created. I have to admit this interview is much more of a conversation. Lester is so easy to chat with and share things it was almost like we were having a glass of wine chatting about old times. You can catch his kickstarter here.
Lance And I had the chance to talk about his career, decks, prestidigitation (sleight of hand), magic, and his art style while hanging at Con on the Cob.
Thanks Lance. You can find Lance at Lance Miller Decks.
In this interview we talk a a lot about the origin of Con on the Cob. While we are doing this Andy’s daughter, Aurora, hijacks the interview once, or twice. The very first question tells us who Andy is and how straight his priorities are.
Here is what we cover in the interview
So here you go the Interview. The music is by Aurora Hopp (age 3)
I believe that about covers it all. Even though I believe Andy and I could have talked forever.
Thanks for listening, and thanks for being at the con if you were there.
Well, this is our interview with Destini Beard, a young singer who could only have been gifted such a talented voice.

Well, after a long week with a lot of mishaps and things getting in the way of production. We have managed to 
finish the interviews from Con on the Cob 2011. I will be posting these throughout the day and into tomorrow. So with no more time wasted here is our first.
The interview covers these basic points

As a gaming convention virgin I really didn’t know what to expect from Con on the Cob in Hudson, Ohio. I’ve only been to a few “other” conventions of any sort (a toy-fare in Pittsburgh, PA and the Triplet Convention twice with my family), so I understood the general concept. Gamers gather, play all their favorite games, try out some new games, check out some cool and/or weird art, books and other gaming-related products, attend seminars, enjoy some entertainment and other parties.
Matt and I contacted many of the artists, vendors, game producers and other special guest to set up interviews and promote this site and our larger project of what Through Gamer Goggles is about to become.
And then we arrived.
We were a little early by intent, to give us time to meet Andy Hupp – the coordinator for the convention and artist extraordinaire (or at least extraordinarily weird) – as well as set up our own table and orient ourselves to the hotel facilities.
The first day Matt and I met a lot of artists, developers, etc. Check out the interviews! I cannot possibly thank all of you enough. But special thanks go out to Vicky Beaver from Savage-Mojo; Ben who ran some D&D Dungeon Delve encounters; Mary Ann of Chicken Hut Games; Jay and Sue of Lonely Die Press, John, Ryan, Ed, and Matt of Silvervine Games.
While I was secretly thankful for a cold that left my nose stuffy and unable to smell some of the less-than-hygienic gamers, I found this to be the most welcoming and friendly crowd ever. For a bunch of dice-rolling, basement dwelling, introverted geeks, even someone as shy as myself found it easy and enjoyable to interact with so many different people. As far as I could tell, a good time was had by all.
