Dungeon Majesty was AWESOME!

I was all set to post the next bit about the engine swap, but I really gotta yack about last night. Oh my goodness, I had such a fantastic time at the premier of Dungeon Majesty episodes 4, 5, and 6. I was in episode 5, along with the other half of Ashleigh Raine. Mystika and Devastina interviewed us while we were at the Romantic Times Booklover Convention 2005 and I had no idea what the finished product would look like.

I was wearing that bizarre swirl dress during the interview and horridly nervous, but I have to say, I didn’t appear to be as frazzled as I actualy was. I think some of that might be great editing and some might be luck plus a little bit of acting skill on my part.

Anyhow, the event was held at the Vine Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, just west of Vine.

Jen couldn’t make the drive (it’s quite a ways) and Jason was more interested in finishing his novel, so I took my next best best friend, Eddie. In fact, he was the Best Man at Jason and my wedding–which was held literally around the corner on the same block as the Vine Theatre.

I also took a funny picture of him–which he prefers–but that one turned out super-blurry. I don’t know what the deal is with my camera…

Anyhow, Mystika was in the ticket booth and she introduced me to Riley–their Dungeon Master.

As you can see in the background of all these pictures, these people are definitely my crowd. I’m not a hardcore fan, but I have the heart of one. See, if I truly embraced my fan-ness, I’d have no time to write!

Eons ago, when Jen and I first tried Dungeons & Dragons, we were probably about thirteen years old. During that very same time period, we were living in Northern California and for a few days, visiting Southern California. During our foray into Hollywood, she and I really, really, really, really, really, really had to pee and began going into every doorway, looking for a restroom. Obviously, the tatoo parlors wanted nothing to do with a couple of thirteen year olds. The first X-rated theatre also told us to go away. But the second theatre… Why, the nice guy behind the counter took pity on us and let us use the bathroom.

I hadn’t realized that this theatre was that theatre until I walked through the door, to the right and then saw the stairs. Talk about a silly, random, unrelated to Dungeon Majesty, blast from the past that I’d’ve kicked myself if I hadn’t gotten a picture of.

Okay, now, onto the show… I hope it gets posted to the Dungeon Majesty website soon. I can’t wait to see it again.

The first episode was a sort of live action version of part of their D&D adventure.

The next episode was shot entirely at the RT Convention and they manage to really capture the essence of the experience–all the costumes, the romance, the cover models, the great vibe to be had by all. That was awesome. Jen and I were interviewed and spliced in with authors such as Angela Knight, Morgan Hawke and Sherilyn Kenyon. WaHooooo! And as I said earlier, aside from the silly dress, I didn’t come off as too much of an idiot.

During intermission, they raffled off a bunch of books and stuff–including Ashleigh Raine’s <a href=”http://ashleighraine.com/books/loverstalisman”>LOVER’S TALISMAN</a>. Way cool.

The last episode was comprised of fun featurettes by each of the characters. I loved every inch of that!

And then I finally got to have my picture taken with Mystika and Devastina. …And that’s where I came off like an idiot! When my eyes were closed, they were looking at the camera. When my eyes were opened, they were looking away. Oh well. I tried.

I’ll continue with the engine swap stuff shortly. I just really enjoy sharing this stuff!
