So a big old thank you to everyone who came out last night to join us at ChrisOatley.com for the live podcast!
(Notice our guest of honor, taking caller questions, General George Washington himself.)
We had such a fantastic turnout! After it was over, Chris and I were buzzing. You could still feel the energy in my house. It was great. Even Mike said he could feel it. And you all got to meet Mike, finally! Which is awesome because he really is the man behind the woman, without whom there would be no Dreamer. Or if there was a Dreamer, it would be inconsistent and lame. If you like exciting stories and regular updates, thank Mike Innes. He likes to hide though, so that he even came out to moderate the chat with you all is a big deal. I hope you enjoyed meeting him!!
Chris asked fantastic questions. Knowing that 90% of the people there were probably already Dreamer fans, he skipped all of the, “So, where did the idea come from? How long have you been in comics? Why the Revolutionary War?” questions, and just dove in. Which, for me, was really refreshing to really get to talk about the story–and where the story is *now* and not what I was doing with it nearly two years ago.
If you were there, I gave out some free spoilers about what’ll be happening in issue #5! He talked a lot about my process, and we talked about what the hardest and easiest parts of the story have been, where my characters came from, what parts of the story have been changed from history, and why. Just a great, great conversation. Chris is one of our best friends, so it really was a fun, informal and lively chat!
Oh, and congrats to all the trivia winners! We’ll be getting those signed prints to you soon!
Chris is going to edit down the show and post the audio into several podcast episodes, so if you missed it, you can still listen in. I’ll let you know when those go live.
Yay! I’m glad it went well. Luv you.
We went to see Batman last night and missed your interview thing. Whoops. BunnyCruiser was out shopping and remember when she got home, though, so she she caught the end (where you said something about you hope parents are listening!!!!!)
Yeah, it was fun to listen to. I look forward to my mail. : )
That was a lot of fun, thanks!
Hey, I can actually see you in the pic. Hehe. The broadcast was all pixelated. I was like, “I can’t really see Lora. She’s all boxy!” :)
NUUUUUU. I MISSED THE TRIVIA BECAUSE MY PARENTS TOLD ME TO GO TO BED.
TT_______TT I hissed at my mom and it just got me in more trouble. XD
Haha, so we all pretty much agreed in the chat that George Washington was checking you out Lora. Did Mike give him the falcon punch after the camera was off?
No one punches George Washington and lives to tell about it. XD
Ahahaha, poor George and the love triangle!! xD
The chat was SUPER AMAZING though. I was wired after it and wouldn’t stop going on about it until I was told to quiet down because it was late. LMAO I hope you get to do more in the future, because it was so much fun! I can’t wait to see it all over again!
And… there really DOES need to be a trading card game. The Dreamer is the new Pokemon! <3
is there going to be another one???
when is the next one!?!?
Yep, it was definitely exciting and fun! It was especially great to be able to talk to you guys and also other dreamer fans at the same time! Everything felt very laid back and casual, which was cool. I look forward to the next one :)
