How does one come back from podfading? I haven’t released an episode in more than a year, but I will try to get back into the swing of things. This episode isn’t what I would normally produce. My thing was to go out into the wilds of Las Vegas and interview somebody in person as opposed to doing an interview online. I had wanted to get an episode out and my friend Amir Brandon aka Volt wanted to be a guest on my show, so it happened. I also made an audio error at the beginning of the show. I know I fucked up, but I’m owning this. I will do better. Volt Twitter: https://twitter.com/Voltaire1778_8 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmPsR-UO4pRIhCMs6-yrfmA

Baron von Stormhaven is joined by Michael Maco, and brothers John and Jimmy Gagnon, at a nice hole in the wall “literally” coffee shop by the name of Gabi. Baron was talked into a game of Love Letter, and while we were doing this Baron and Michael try to explain the aesthetics of Gabi. This turns into a fairly deep conversation about video games, which John and Jimmy were at first reluctant to speak start to engage in the dialog.

This going to be a two part podcast because at some point I must have pissed off the audio gods. I have been trying to interview my collegue Michael Maco since mid April. Needless to say life got in the way, but we were finally able to record. Unfortunately we had to record in my car due to some time constraints and around the 27 minute mark is when the audio gods decided that they had enough. For what it’s worth I decided to post this anyways even though it’s not perfect.

When I had interviewed Rodino at Tea & Whisk, things had gotten a bit bumpy, and I had to start and stop recording a few times. I originally had thought that the audio I recorded was no good. That was until I learned the secret magic of audio engineering. I was able to salvage what we talked about, and I’m glad. These were some great conversations in my opinion. In case you’re wondering part 2 starts at the twenty nine minute marker, and part 3 begins at forty six minutes and forty five seconds

My sister came to visit me for my birthday last week. I had told her that the next time she visited, I would take her to The Old Mormon Fort. We stomped around there for a little bit and used a lot of visual humor so for the audio listeners you’re kinda out of luck. I was carrying my Zoom recorder with me and had to start and stop a couple of times, my appologies. I’ll be uploading this on Youtube with the pictures that I took while there Old Mormon Fort Address: 908 Las Vegas Blvd N, Las Vegas, NV 89101 Phone: +1-702-486-3511 Hours: 8:00am-4:30pm http://parks.nv.gov/learn/park-histories/old-las-vegas-mormon-fort-history https://www.nps.gov/nr/twhp/wwwlps/lessons/122fort/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Las_Vegas_Mormon_Fort_State_Historic_Park Old Mormon Fort Fallout NV http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Old_Mormon_Fort

Baron von Stormhaven sits down with Kingsley Edwards of Block 16 to discuss many things crypto currency related, as well as his new company, and how it ties into Las Vegas History. They also delve into some things Libertarian, even though that wasn’t Baron’s intent.

Baron Von Stormhaven met up with friend Rodino Ayla at the Tea & Whisk, and attempted to record a podcast, not once, twice, nor three times, but four times. The fourth attempt was recorded in my car. This discussion somehow ends up about elements of various of culture wars waged throughout history. We also talk Las Vegas sports briefly.

Jim Jesus of The Lolberts joins me at The Double Down Saloon for a couple of drinks and then we switch venues to The Chicago Brewery for some food and more drinks. Jim details what exactly he’s about, as well as some Libertarian drama? Jim also discusses what caused him to move from California to Sin City. We also talk about Roger Ver and his argument against Bitcoin, as well as what alt-coins that we’re interested in. I also throw in some geeky shit about Fallout New Vegas and how there are differences with Las Vegas proper Jim Jesus http://jimjesus.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/machwon Tweets by JimJesus https://www.facebook.com/jimjesuspage Double Down Saloon Chicago Brewing Roger Ver’s arguments against Bitcoin Fallout New Vegas Old Mormon Fort The real Old Mormon Fort

The first episode of Sintopia has finally been recorded. it’s been months in the making and after a series of rescheduling I am now actually able to deliver. I’ll be honest with you, this episode is way too short, and upon listening to it I realized that I didn’t dig deep enough into some of the questions that I asked Curt. More specifically the questions about his past growing up. Growing pains of starting a podcast I guess. We both had a great time and I’m wanting to do a follow up with him in the future.

MK Lords, and Jim Jesus, and others celebrate Capitalistmas with me at Aces & Ales (Tenaya), where a rather odd situation developed. We discuss this in more detail as well as discuss other things ranging from differing flavors of anarchism to the tragic suicide of pornstar August Ames.
