Hey, it's me, this guy, and I'm here with a bonus episode for two reasons.

One is I want to tell you about a new event we're helping to create, and the other is I want to

introduce you to the orbiting human circuses, lovely, between season special presentation,

the second imaginary symphony. So we are organizing a brand new podcast convention with Travis

McElroy of my brother, my brother and me, and the adventure zone, and Hank Green and his team

of convention makers behind will a ton of cool conventions, including VidCon. This convention will

be called PodCon, and we'll be taking place on December 9th and 10th in Seattle. This will be a

podcast convention for fans of podcasts, whether you also happen to make a podcast or not. We wanted to

be a celebration of podcasting as an art form by the listeners for the listeners. We already have

confirmed live shows from my brother, my brother and me, lore, Alice isn't dead, bad with money,

deer, hank and john, and more. Plus panels, workshops, and games with the cast and crew of Welcome

to Nightfail, criminal, the orbiting human circus, and more, and that's just our first round of

invites. In order to get a sense of the scope of the event, we are currently running an IndieGoGo

campaign. The more we raise now, the bigger we can make the event and the more podcasts we can

invite. Tickets with the IndieGoGo are cheaper than they will be after, and some of the benefits

just won't be available after this campaign ends. Plus there are options for remote attendants,

so even if you can't make it to Seattle in person, you can still make it to Seattle in your computer.

All of the info on that and the IndieGoGo are at podcon.com. Now there's only a few days left on

this campaign, so that's podcon.com. And now, from Seattle, I take you to Paris. The orbiting human

circus is presenting a self-contained between season special presentation, the second imaginary

symphony. What follows is the first part of this. If you enjoy it, be sure to subscribe to the

orbiting human circus to hear the rest. And hey, thanks.
