Unauthorized Backstage Imagination Pavilion Tour!

Well, the title really says it all! On 10/1/2012 I took a few large groups of DSoD fans backstage at various locations throughout the day, to celebrate/mourn my retirement from backstage exploring. This was the 2nd tour of the day, and we got busted pretty badly, so it also turned out to be the last one of the day! But it was a great way to go out, and I’m glad we got video of the whole thing. Enjoy!

I also wanted to let everyone know that Bamboo Forest Publishing has a new storefront. It make...

EPCOT 30th Recap, Dreamfinder News, and… MY FACE!

Wow, what a long, strange trip it was! Here’s a recap of some of my crazy adventures at EPCOT’s 30th:

Got in mid-day on Saturday 9/29, received my WeGoShop delivery (12-pack Sam Adams light, 6-pack Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, shit ton of tonic, limes, 4 frozen pizzas, mozzarella sticks, and a bunch of other stoner/drunkard food), met up with my buddy Hackett and his girlfriend (they brought me a box I’d shipped down to them that included a 1.75L bottle of Kinsey Gin and an Iolite vaporizer), and t...

Rolly Crump book cover, Mai Tai, and EPCOT 30th!

Lots of cool stuff going on in the World of Kinsey!

First up is the cover for Bamboo Forest’s upcoming release, It’s Kind of a Cute Story, by Imagineer and Disney Legend Rolly Crump and Miceage’s Jeff Heimbuch! Designed by Pentakis Dodecahedron, who did a great job, as usual.

Pentakis also designed another awesome cover that will probably be used as the opening page of the book:

Really excited about this book! We’re looking at a mid/late November release, and I think it’ll make a wonderful Chris...

New OKoD and Ron Schneider interviews!

Tracey from The 100% Unofficial Universal Orlando Podcast interviewed me a few weeks ago about Our Kingdom of Dust. As a writer herself, she had lots of good questions about the literary side of OKoD, so it made for an interesting interview. Plus, there’s a contest to win a free download of the book!

Also, check out Ron “Dreamfinder” Schneider’s interview with Jeff and George from Communicore Weekly. It’s a fun and very in-depth interview, and definitely worth a list...

Announcement

After receiving some questions in private messages and emails, and realizing how my silence could be misconstrued as tacit approval, I’ve decided to publicly announce that Pentakis and I have parted ways with Draven Star. Her career has recently gone back down a path that we simply can’t support or be involved with on a personal or professional level. To be clear, no future Disney-related photos or videos featuring Draven are produced in conjunction with Bamboo Forest Publishing, and are abso...

Two new videos, a bunch of reviews, and OKoD price change!

That’s right, this week you get TWO videos! Figured I’d release both of my Amsterdam-related videos at the same time. The backstory to both of these is that I was in Amsterdam for two weeks in June. Being there that long gave me a lot of time to really explore the city and the surrounding suburbs.

This first video is a snapshot of the area known as The Red Light District. Yes, that’s where all the prostitutes have their windows (you’re not allowed to take pictures of them – if you do, their pi...

New “Random Stuff” video, Kingdomcast Podcast, DSoD Audiobook and Poster Blowout!

Lots of updates today!

I’ve been editing like crazy and actually have 7 finished videos in the queue, so stay tuned for weekly releases! The first is “Random DSoD Randomness”, which consists of various clips from our Feb/March 2012 Disney trip that just didn’t fit anywhere else. Clips include:

-Using the new Southwest Drink Tickets on the plane, Draven and Pentakis talking about shaving their crotches, Draven almost puking upon landing

-Drinking and eating at Giordano’s Chicago-Style Pizza

-Buyin...

New Video! New Book! New Reviews! Holy crap!!!

Well damn, it certainly has been a long time since I’ve posted anything here, or posted any videos to the YouTube channel. I’ve been working nonstop to finish up two huge projects (only one of which I can talk about), spending two weeks in Amsterdam, and losing power for five days. But now I’m all caught up, I have power, and both of those projects are completed!

The one project I can talk about is the release of Ron Schneider’s awesome book, From Dreamer to Dreamfinder, which officially comes...

Rolly Crump, Amsterdam, Nook, and Another Review!

Well, it’s been a helluva few weeks! Let’s dive right into it:

First off, I’m extraordinarily proud to announce that I’ll be publishing the autobiography of Disney Legend, Imagineer, and all-around incredible guy Rolly Crump! The title is It’s Kind of a Cute Story, and it’s based on a series of interviews with Rolly conducted by Jeff Heimbuch, of Micechat/Communicore Weekly fame. You can tell that Rolly really trusted Jeff to present the material in the best way possible, which allowed him to...
