Everyone likes John Waters. Well, everyone who knows what’s-what likes John Waters. And when you’ve lived in Baltimore for as long as I have, you feel some hometown pride whenever his name crops up. So it was a bit of a no-brainer when Mr. Bothered and I heard about Camp John Waters. A whole weekend …

I’ve been dreaming of going to GenCon for nearly as long as I’ve been gaming. And I started gaming in 5th grade, way back in 1982! But… for various reasons (I was 10?) I just ever made it priority. By the time I was old enough to go as a grownup, I hadn’t been involved …

Oh wow – that was a transcendent show. Mrs. Bothered, her mother, a friend and I piled in the little Botheredmobile at noon yesterday, and ran ourselves from Baltimore up to Pittsburgh to catch the elusive Rodriquez live in a rare concert. It. Was. Amazing. If you don’t know who Rodriquez is – don’t worry. Not having people …
Nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley is a cozy little cabin, built by Mrs. Bothered’s stepfather back in the 60s. We visit there often, and very near there is the famous Dinosaur Land. It’s one of our favorite places to hang out when we are in the area. The dinosaurs are derpy, some …

An original Stanley Bothered number, performed at Mr. Anderson’s House in Picton, Ontario. Mrs. Bothered and myself spent a wonderful weekend in Prince Edward County, Ontario in the adorable little town of Picton. We stayed at an AirBNB called “Mr. Anderson’s” house.

Here’s a quick video clip of me performing in Fantastique, at The Mobtown Ballroom in Baltimore, MD. It’s my take on the classic Steve Miller Band number, Abracadabra:
If you’ve seen me perform, you know exactly how important my kazumpet is to me. Well, I’m about to visit the Motherland of kazumpets, the The Kazoobie Kazoo Factory, Museum, and Gift Shop in Beaufort, SC 29906. They make kazoos and, apparently, the kazumpets that mean so much to me. What will the tour be like? Who knows! …
