A great start to ProgDay! Donated a book to the charity raffle, got set up, listening to my buddy Sean’s band Bruteus rock out, and someone who bought some books last year already came by to tell me how much he and his wife liked them (and to give me a wee precious dram of Bunnahabhain).

No truth to the rumor that I ran around the empty theater making “Beep beep!” noises at the late screening of Coyote Vs. Acme, but damn, that is one funny movie.

Why yes, I did buy out the entire stock of donuts at Baker's Dozen in Durham today in order to give them to the volunteers as the Friends of Durham Library store sale. Why do you ask?

Last night out as the Funcle, taking my niece for ice cream before she heads off to college on Wednesday. I could not be prouder of this young woman, and her academic, athletic, creative, and charitable achievements.

When Will Carroll says “Got time for one more drink?” as you pull up to the Inferno Room and its world-renowned collection of tiki mugs, you say yes.

All I am saying is that it is a long goddamn drive.

Another Necon complete. What a wonderful time, what wonderful people, where did all the cheese go and where did all these books come from?

I can only assume this is the Albany, NY Dutch Giant version of "Oh crap, I put both socks in the dryer but now there's only the one."

Book signing went great, and I have received the benediction of Aleister Growley.

Off to Golden Leaf Books in Waterford, NY to do a book signing 12-4 today at the home of the estimable Aleister Growley!

I am an award-winning game writer. See? That's the award, right there. (Humbled and proud to have received this Lifetime Achievement Award. Thankful for everyone who's helped me along the way, happy to have helped others in turn.)

Feeling well enough for a pre-NarraScope dinner with some fine scribbly folks last night. Now gearing up for today’s talk and tonight’s Write Club and award presentation!

Just some writers, hanging out, near a lot of bottles of scotch (and rum)

Great time at the Dark Doorway horror writing workshop at Moon Dog Meadery today! Much spookiness ensued!

Some Crown Lands awesomeness from their atrium show last night. Best show of the cruise IMHO, and also by far the best hair.

The Mummer's Dansky @rdansky.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Why yes, I did dig into the old LARP stuff and enter the Cruise to the Edge Cape Night competition. I did not win. But I got a laugh, and that’s all I was hoping for.

I just saw Steve Hackett and his band perform “Dance On A Volcano” magnificently and in its entirety, and I don’t how I’m expected to listen to anything else for a while.

Have reached the point in the evening where I am not sure if my disequilibrium comes from the ship’s motion, my attempt to get my money’s worth out of the unlimited drink package, or the prog-metal cover of “Careless Whisper” by Temic I just witnessed. Or perhaps all three…

My prog cruise t-shirt game is strong

The Mummer's Dansky @rdansky.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Pretty sure I just watched a Vampire LARP that had broken into Ministry’s old storage locker and climbed up onstage to sing loudly about taking bear sedatives. Which is kind of awesome.

…when you find yourself listening to the guy who used to be Porcupine Tree’s touring guitarist do a solo acoustic rendition of “Crazy”, and no, not the Icehouse one.

Safely ensconced at AuthorCon. Table set up. They assigned me table #69. Nice. (Deep down, I am still twelve.)

A huge thank-you to everyone who came out to celebrate the launch of Ghosts of Smoke and Flame tonight at Bond Brothers in Cary! So great to see so many friends and share the happy moment of my book becoming a real thing!

Sadly, I am under a strict t-shirt moratorium, and literally just donated an entire Hefty bag full to a local charity. (The t-shirt I bought from the Drive-By Truckers totally doesn't count.)
