This American country music group from Texas has charted more than 20 singles on the Hot Country Songs chart. With hits like "No News", "Come Cryin' to Me", "Amazed", "What About Now", "I'm Already There", "My Front Porch Looking In", and "Mr. Mom," there's a fair chance that even non-country music fans have heard their work.
Silver Dollar City celebrated their country music nights with a variety of concerts held in their Echo Hollow amphitheater and we caught the Lonestar show. This is a band that Tom has been a fan of since their 90s debut and something he was all too happy to share and experience with Lady Laci.
Let us know if you're a fan or what concerts you've hit up recently!

Finally, via Patreon, we got some good stuff to represent Joe Bob Briggs and his Last Drive-In courtesy of Darcy the Mail Girl. Collections of the ever-nostalgic MonsterVision days of TNT plus some merch to rep your Joe Bob fandom!

We've got you covered with this collection of montages from our visit to Cryptic Tattoo and Social Gallery.
Tattoo parlors often have a stigma about them, what it looks like, their layout, how it feels inside them. Cryptic is a very organized, very clean environment ran by a group of artists who've transferred their incredible artistic talents to the world of skin and body art. Plus, many of them have a fantastic fandom for all things horror and it shows in their gallery.

This should be interesting because whereas Lady Laci is a lifelong fan of the Alien franchise and grew up with Ripley and the Xenomorphs and all, Tom was ONLY introduced to them in the last decade or so and has seen each film exactly one time.
What about you, Nerdlings? Fans of the films, the lore, and more? Or new to all of this too?

With MoGameCon 2024 we made an entire weekend out of a single day expo and spent that time with hanging out with friends and making incredible memories. Whether it's sharing that extra time with one another by splitting up an airbnb, grabbing a meal, or taking on a 100 slider White Castle food challenge, it's always a good time. Not to mention tabletop and video gaming aplenty. There are gift exchanges and stories to share too.
Plus this year we brought Chris of Telesplash Gaming along as a surprise guest to everybody. He stayed the first night at our place and got to see the Nerd House in person. Not only did we take him along Route 66, check out Uranus, but with Shaun 8BitGlitch79 we also spent time deal hunting at a mall and later at a pinball pub called The Waiting Room.

You hear a low growl and realize you're not alone. From the shadows comes a shambling form that hungers for flesh and...cuddles?
Lady Laci loves her plushies and Tom found for her Cerberus, the undead hound of Resident Evil fame! This biohazard hopes to break through the window and jump scare your heart...with love! Is it hideous with his exposed bone and peeling flesh? Or does his single dead eye stare back at you with the sort of love only the T-virus can offer?
Sustainably produced and climate-neutral certified Cerberus plush from Capcom's best-selling franchise Resident Evil. The highly detailed and cuddly 39cm tall plush was made from certified recycled polyester and comes with a special feature which lets you choose between a cute little dog or a contaminated deadly killer with a detachable piece of meat, depending on which side you're currently looking at. The hangtag, made from recycled cardboard, is printed with environmentally friendly inks that do not make it difficult to recycle later. Get this cuddly and climate-neutral guard dog and let him protect your home from unwanted intruders.

You're challenged with some of the craziest writing prompts you've ever encountered and encouraged to write out you fictional masterpiece. Afterwards, you're welcome to share with your literary crew, or you can hang out solely as a spectator!
Lady Laci and I had a blast with this and both of us took part in writing. We wanted to share our creations with you here; read by Tom and with some goofy AI art to accompany the short stories.
Feel free to take up the prompt yourself and share with us, either in video form or even in the comments!
Dead Forest · Brian Bolger Dead Forest ℗ YouTube Audio Library youtu.be/oa7deK7ndCg?si=wSFubYlzwFCrZW-aOcarina of Time Gamer MemoriesDo You Nerd?2024-06-19 | Our pal Peter of Waves N Games is taking on one of gaming's absolute most epic and legendary entries of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. This role-playing adventure has transcended time to firmly root itself as one of the greatest games ever made and one of the most beloved, especially to those who grew up with it and experienced for the first time back in 1998.
He asked people to share their memories of this action driven experience through Hyrule so that he could share them during setup and break time screens in his live stream. Tom shared his story and with the tunes Peter put to it, decided to further share it here. AND to do so with some wonky AI art because...why not?
Sharing game stories like these are part of gamer heritage, so please, share YOUR Ocarina story too, either in the comments, with a video response, and/or with Peter of Waves N Games.

#cosplay #cosplaycontest #tremendicon #conventionTremendicon 2024 Convention Floor ExperienceDo You Nerd?2024-06-05 | EDUCATION, INSPIRATION, ENCOURAGEMENT, COLLABORATION, AND CHARITY
These are the pillars that make up the mission statement of Tremendicon, a 3-day NON-PROFIT convention in Springfield, MO with the focus of transforming hunger into hope via Ozarks Food Harvest, of whom serve charities solving hunger in southwest Missouri.
These values are incorporated into a convention experience where real educational experiences are available to attendees from professionals in creative roles. Attendees will see and hear what others are doing in their creative lives that can provide inspiration and let them dream big.
Having interactive and face-to-face opportunities will let creatives gain encouragement where they need it to grow into the creative roles they want. Collaboration happens when two or more individuals begin a dialogue leading to a mutual respect and desire to put creative energies together to make something greater.
Join us in our floor tour to show YOU how fun local conventions are as well as giving you a glimpse of the amazing people and creativity you can find at them.
