So New Year’s Eve I was getting ready to head out to Beth and Marcel’s 4th yearly karaoke bash when I found that my car wouldn’t start. My poor car is fourteen years old, and it’s been going downhill for the past year or so, dying at intersections, juddering, etc. Now, it’s dead.

That’s over an hour of recording for those last two sections. I’ve had to divide them into three so that I don’t blow out my vocal chords.<\/p>\n

I’m also currently recording The Sky is Falling by Lester Del Rey for LV<\/a>, another scifi, since I had such fun with the Mack Reynolds one I did for the SFFAudio Challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
