Freelancepalooza Podcast 2010, Part the First

Last year I talked Bill Mudron, Dylan Meconis & Erika Moen into doing a live two hour podcast about being independent artists on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

But they must have forgotten.  Because when I asked them to do it again this year, they all said, “Yes!”

Thanks!

For sticking with me through November.  I just got done with a whole heap of mighty big negotiations at work and am looking forward to having time to sit down and write for the blog again.

That night is not tonight, however.  Tonight is for skirting my dish washing duties (I made the turkey!) and watching silly movies.

Tonight is also a night for roaming … Read More
