Gil: The MUTANT SEASON

So my middle son Gil has a Nerdist Industries podcast and his own twitter account. He learned about entertaining and putting on shows from Mo Fathelbab and the NerdMelt crew over the Summer break in 2011. He wasn’t sent to camp or participated in other seasonal activities because hanging at Meltdown Comics and the NerdMelt Theater was all he wanted to do. Katie Levine, who produces podcasts for Chris Hardwick, spotted Gil when he was on Mo and DC Pierson’s Nerdy Secrets show. She gave him a test run and it went beyond everyone’s expectations. Now, more than 10 episodes in, “The Mutant Season with Gil” is picking up steam and picking up followers.

Please take the time to check out some of my son’s past shows. Hope you find them to your liking. If you do, please “Like”, follow and/or comment on iTunes: https://bitly.com/itunesTheMutantSeason

On Friday, November 4th at 7pm, it’s an evening for your bucket list.

Come on down and meet a unicorn!

…more specifically, you can meet Mr. Lemonade ‘Unicorn’ Steiny and the guy who draws him, C.W. Moss. We’re hosting the nationwide launch of two glorious things: ‘Unicorn Being A Jerk‘, Moss’ new book from HarperCollins, and the premiere of ‘The F*** Was That: A Unicorn Documentary‘, directed by Andrew Rivera. During this night of bliss, Unicorn, also an ordained minister, will be marrying people who purchase his book and happen to believe in undying love.
