GIANT SIZED END OF YEAR EXTRAVAGANZA! Andy said, “wanna go to the LA Auto Show”? Uh… I want to watch YOU at the LA Auto Show. And so another Dork Expedition happens.

Donate to a foodbank or the Hurricane relief or someone else. January… donate to me. $100 each for the year would be great. NOTES: wow… am I going to do EVERY CAR? Probably not. – I would get this if no sun roof. Kitt the Car was a 1982 Pontiac Trans Ams heh… it sounds like I said, “vulva.” Heh. Kentia Hall – never found out who Kentia was. Even I’m whipped with the notes here… good luck on this one. Credits: Audio leveling by Music is by Website design by : who has his own Apps are available with the bonus contest: or

Show notes

I did a LIVE show in Portland with at a Comedy Festival there. It’s a bit buzzy because of the mystery of me taping live. Sigh. Patrick Brady is not to be judged. But the show is so great. I can’t stop talking initially but, Chelsea Cain, famous author, is a Dungeons and Dragon Dork. IRL, she is the author of five best selling NYT thrillers described by the NY Times as, "steamy and perverse," which is being made into an FX series. She also wrote Confessions of a Teen Sleuth, a Nancy Drew parody. I read that. She’s smart, hilarious and, get this, a HUGE Dungeons and Dragons dork. It’s a good one. With stand up comedy, closing the show, from Donation Button, if you wish is on Review the show on Feel free to e me. NOTES: SHE MEANT RAYMOND CHANDLER AND Dashiell Hammett – good lord Jackie.And… I want to talk about what the kid’s around me are reading more than what they’re watching. And… I like them. Like some people like Honey Boo Boo, I like Harry Potter. What to READ via CC: Credits:Audio leveling by Music is by Website design by : who has his own Apps are available with the bonus contest: or
