Imaginarium Con Day 1 — #EnterTheImaginarium

September 20, 2014

We had a great first day at Imaginarium Con. I’ve learned a lot about Louisville. For some reason, the city puts all their restaurants and bars at the back of their neighborhoods.

September 1, 2014

J.E.S. Hays recounts advice given by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta at Dragon Con. Most of the advice is pretty spot on – a worthwhile read.

Dying Days 4 … Location. Location. And a good kitchen … I mean, Location!

July 8, 2014

Welcome, Armand Rosamalia, to JayWilburn.com, the most boring named blog ever. I have shrunk him down and trapped him inside the computer Tron style. Only there are no cool death matches. Just a bunch of old men sitting around drinking. This is the only sport Armand and I are really built and conditioned for … …
