Note: Due to a numbering snafu by yours truly, this is the actual episode 69. I jumped ahead at some point hence the misnumbered posts. We're back with an inside look at GalactiCon & Tragos/Thesz Hall of Fame Weekends! Stories, personalities, tournaments, and wrestling galore. Whether you were there in person, virtually, or missed out, we've got all the announcements, the winners, and behind-the-scenes tales to put you in Chicago and Waterloo. Plus, someone tells us this is... Episode 69?!?! Find Sam on Twitter - @kopw72Todd - @tourneymasterEpisode Available on the following platforms - WebsiteAppleGoogle

Thanks Sam Fain it was truly a pleasure, and like it or not you're 'officially' part of this big dysfunctional family now.

This is fantastic. The highlight of my TNTHOF weekend, was being asked to retrieve Jim Ross's self phone, by the legend himself. While retrieving it, I also had to retrieve his Gordon Solie award as well as his All-Access credentials. That was my TNTHOF Weekend Moment. Might even top the Sgt. Slaughter conversation from last year.
Also, the observations of the dance party at the Hotel Bar was just incredible.

A brilliant recap of what took place... From someone who wishes more than anything that he could have attended both events... It's truly heartening to hear first hand about the generosity of this community (not that it was ever in doubt)... Especially at a time when my faith in humanity as a whole has possibly hit an all-time low... There are genuinely good people in the world and it's great to hear their stories... Thank you for taking the time to share.

Thanks so much for the well wishes and yeah that was a pretty rough night Friday and taking it easy on Saturday paid off and made the 24 hr travel cycle on Sunday tolerable.
Really wish I could have been there on Saturday and Friday night, but alas that just has me looking forward to the next one that much more.
Really great to finally meet fellow Filsinger Fans in person and having what I'm pretty sure was my 1st physical play of the game with another human being at GCon and to be honest meeting and talking with everyone adds so much more to the enjoyment of the game and understanding this great community.

It was great to meet you in person, and I hope the game recommendations proved beneficial.

The meeting of people is the real fun of Galacticon. Tournaments are nice as are the panels but just getting to know people is always the best.

Since Mike mentioned a less ornery Cornette podcast, Dutch Mantellβs YouTube series is a lot of fun. They have about 11 episodes up with a lot of 3-5 minute clips.
