A Wake for the Seanachai

In LA, you never know where the day will take you.  Sometimes, for example, it takes you back to the East Coast.  Today, I learned Patrick McLean (most notably the author of How to Succeed in Evil) is bringing to a close his award-winning podcast “The Seanachai.”

At 9PM Eastern on Wednesday, March 24th, 2010, Patrick McLean (with help from P.G. Holyfield) will host a live event on Stickcam.com.  It’ll feature the final Seanachai story (Patrick is shot twice with one bullet) and a few special guests (including, it seems, me).

I first remember hearing Patrick McLean when he took a decidedly difficult website (TheSeanachai.com) and, with the help of his zombie friend Bob, created one of the most quietly-outstanding promos in podcasting, in my opinion.

Quietly outstanding is a good way to describe Patrick’s work.  I think that’s why I like him so much.  We both prefer to speak softly and carry a big idea.

So if you like Patrick, or me, or good writing in general, make plans to swing by Stickam.com/patrickemclean at 9pm next Wednesday.   If I have anything to do with it, there’ll be quite a bit of drinking going on.
