An environment of controlled chaos...
This episode it is very teacher heavy. We talk about inspiring and keeping that going throughout the process of making. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Also, why does it seem like, kids (and some adults) are afraid of showing a creative side and embracing it?
We'll be off next week for spring break!

LIVE: From NWI Comic Con
Both our first live and in-person show and it couldn't have recorded any worse. Except by not recording at all.
The crowd was great, really attentive and engaging. Listen to them roar! It's actually them talking over us because they couldn't hear us at all.
We had a blast and can't wait to actively annoy another crowd soon!
