A combination of Technorama and Comedy4Cast shows and many other Dragon*Con shows actually worked. Thanks to John Bell and Grant Baciocco. (9/2/14: Correction – I discovered that I accidentally posted the Thursday show twice. The audio file has been corrected to Friday’s post live-show feedback.) http://www.chuckchat.com/media/freestyle/D-Day-S14E41.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS

Early start to get to Dragon*Con very early, but we used our time to explore, get settled, and more. Kreg joined us and then Clinton rolled in. The day concluded with some fun cosplay. The weekend is off to a great start! http://www.chuckchat.com/media/freestyle/D-Day-S14E40.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS

It’s finally vacation time and it’s time to say goodbye to Julie as she starts her final year at college. Exciting and emotional at the same time. http://www.chuckchat.com/media/freestyle/D-Day-S14E39.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS

It felt like a Donkey Kong kind of day. Barrel after barrel, but I kept jumping and eventually got to the princess at the end. http://www.chuckchat.com/media/freestyle/D-Day-S14E38.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS

A quick talk with my daughter Julie before she heads back to college. We talk about Dragon*Con, her college living, Liisa’s college tour, and more. http://www.chuckchat.com/media/freestyle/D-Day-S14E36.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS

Feeling a bit sad this evening that Liisa is not here and in a week I we will officially be “empty nesters”. Dang this is harder than I thought. A bit of good emotions in this one though. http://www.chuckchat.com/media/freestyle/D-Day-S14E35.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS

We got Liisa all set up with her campus permits and I helped out my Dad. http://www.chuckchat.com/media/freestyle/D-Day-S14E34.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS

I was challenged to the ice bucket challenge by a friend and instructor of mine at the Gracie Jiu Jitsu school – just a day after my rant. I wonder if they knew… So I donated and did the bucket AND educated people.
