ESO presents the penultimate special before the big event! With less than thirty days until Dragon Con, Mike, Mike, Darren, and Mary overstuff this episode with information and guests. The Directors for Alternate History Track, BritTrack, and the Comic and Pop Art area give us a preview of their schedules. Kevin Bachelder lets the newbies know where to go, Zan has some last minute budget costume ideas, and Nikki Rau-Baker returns to provide some photo tips. Speaking of photos, our Cosplay Snapshot centers on designer Sara Pope. All this and more as the Buckets o’ Rum are nearly close enough to taste!
