Greetings Fellow Travelers of the Jundland Wastes! This has been a pretty fun month for us here in the Jundland Wastes. So many new Expanded Universe titles and a couple fun events.Back in March we had our first live show with Star Wars author Ryder Windham. We also had some of the troops from the 501st Legion New England Garrison present as well. It was a great evening. We chatted with Ryder about his latest books and Star Wars in general. And we had some great fans of the podcast in attendance.

The Traveling the Jundland Wastes Podcast also inducted Ryder and the
501st Legion New England Garrision as Honorary Travelers of the Jundland
Wastes for their contributions to the Star Wars universe and their
fans. We presented certificates of honor to Ryder and the 501st and are proud of their efforts and support for our podcast.

| 501st Sandtrooper at Boston Comic Con 2012 |
And this past Sunday, Dan and I were on the road again as we traveled to the Boston Comic Con at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts! The first table we saw at the event was the 501st Legion New England Garrison who had a "Shoot-a Trooper-For-Charity". Fans delighted loading up Nerf blasters and taking their best shots at Stormtroopers, Snowtroopers, Sandtroopers and Biker Scouts. The 501st raised $1700 for Shriners Hospital! Gotta love these guys! It was great seeing many of the troops who came to the podcast event last March. We are proud of the 501st and look forward to doing another event with them!
We spent a lot of time in artist alley. My only regret is that we
did not have enough time to meet every artist in attendance. So many
great artists, illustrators and members of the comic book community were
in the house giving the fans a great opportunity to meet with them. I
was even able show my sketchbook to many of the artists in attendance and received some very valuable drawing advice. My dream is to find
myself in an artist alley alongside many of the friends I made at Boston
Comic Con.
We interviewed two Star Wars artists making
their mark in the Star Wars universe;
Doug Cowan and
Katie Cook. Audio from these
interviews will be posted soon! Both Doug and Katie have
done prints for past Star Wars Celebrations and will have new prints for
Star Wars Celebration 6 this August in Orlando, Florida. In addition to
being great artists, Doug and Katie are some of the nicest people you
will meet. Be sure to take the time to meet Doug and Katie at C6 and
purchase their prints!
And you cannot go to a Comic Con without purchasing something special. I
bought a great set of postcards from Doug Cowan, a sketch card from
Katie Cook and a great drawing of Darth Revan and Bastila Shan from
artist Taylor James. Stay tuned for pics of these great works of art. And stay tuned for a regular edition of the podcast coming soon. We have
a lot to discuss. Revan! The conclusion to the Fate of the Jedi series!
Comics such as Crimson Empire III, Agent of the Empire and the upcoming
Boba Fett and Darth Vader comics.
Let us know if you were at our podcast event with Ryder and the troops
or if you went to Boston Comic Con! We'd love to hear from you.
