Flopcast 123: DragonCon 2014 - Disco Hobbits in the Habitrails

Kevin and the Mayor are back in Chickentown with a full report on the craziest convention of the year: DragonCon! Featuring: Land of the Lost's Will, Holly, Chaka, and a Sleestak; Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey; the Karate Kid and Ponyboy Curtis; Match Game in the 25th Century; Mystery Science Theater 3000's Joel, Trace, Frank, and a photobombing Tom Servo; concerts by Molly Lewis, Mikey Mason, and Anaria; way more chicken-themed costumes than you'd expect; and yes, a Weird Al Dalek. 'Twas a long, strange weekend — hopefully we'll readjust to reality (and catch up on our sleep) just in time for DragonCon 2015. Meanwhile, Kornflake prepares for National Play-Doh Day, which suddenly seems quite reasonable and mature.

Show Notes

Coming up on September 16, break out the modeling compound, because it's National Play-Doh Day!

 

It's on like DragonCon! Check out previous years' coverage in Flopcast episodes 018 and 071. We're about to unload a bunch of photos on you (and you can see the rest on Facebook), but first...
