Okay, people on the internets, I need your magical powers. We got a TON of video while we were in NOLA and I’m raring to put something snazzy together for you. But I’ve run into a snag.
(Non-technical people, you can skip ahead.)
Both my iPhone and Jesse’s camera film as HD in the AVI format (H.264, I believe). I have Sony Vegas 8, Windows Movie Maker, AVS Editor, etc, and NONE of the above want to work with this video file format. I can hear the video fine, but the video itself is just a black screen, which is not nearly as compelling as I’d hoped the visuals would be.
SO… do you either: A) Know of a codec that would work (and DIVX and Xvid don’t work with Sony Vegas, unfortunately), B) Know of a video editor that would work, or C) Know of a converter that could change my HD AVI files into something more universal?
I’m countin’ on you, guys. Don’t let me down!
(Non-technical people, you can stop skipping now. Welcome back.)
Oh, and if you have anything for me, post it over at my Facebook page ——> https://www.facebook.com/BretKenyonWriterGuy

Less than 24 hours till New Orleans! Woo! I’ve got audiobooks burned, the car cleaned out, and who knows? I may even put air in the tires and gas in the tank. I’m just that wild and crazy.
Hope to see you guys there!
In the meantime, here’s a link to my latest movie review over at WJTV.com.
“Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark”
Happy Trails!

Testing our new video player, yo! If you see me talking at you below, then you know it worked ;)
Ahoy, readers!
I just got off the phone with the J-man, and he’s stoked about the convention this weekend! And by “J-man”, I mean Jesus. But I also talked to Jesse, and he’s pretty excited too. I’ll be burning copies of the audiobooks tonight through Friday so we’ll have a nice stack waiting for you. Be sure and drop by to pick one up, yo!
And if any of you are out and about in NOLA on Saturday night, and you see me stumbling happily down the street singing sea shanties, kindly point me in the direction of my hotel.
Aaaand… that’s about it. See you Saturday, and in the meantime, here’s a picture of me eating bread pudding, because that’s the kind of exciting life I lead.

I had this great post all lined up. You’d have loved it. I can pretty much guarantee that you’d be laughing, crying, snorting milk, and would have finished it with a burning desire to visit Ireland in the fall. But for some reason, I couldn’t log onto the website for a couple of days, and wouldn’t you know it, but I forgot every word I was going to write. Hell, it may not have even been Ireland I was writing about. Maybe it was Toronto? I get the two confused.
Anyhoo, been busy on the writing front the past week and in the best way possible… the way where you get PAID, my friends! Well, not paid so much as awarded, but it all boils down to me having more filthy lucre than I did on Friday. My play “Open Mic Night” won the Mississippi Theater Association Best Script award recently, and I got to spend the weekend on the coast eating sushi and being given checks. It was pretty much amazing.
On the Berona front, I’m proud to share that I’ll be joining Jesse and Anthony at their table at Wizard Con in New Orleans at the end of the month. I plan on pushing our merchandise extra hard this year, and by “pushing our merchandise”, I mean drinking heavily on Bourbon Street. But in those sober daylight hours, I’ll be at the table along with multiple copies of the Berona audiobook series. We’re going to be selling these on ONE CD instead of five, which means that you’ll be getting high quality Mp3’s on the CD instead of us trying to spread them out across multiple WAV files. It’s for the best, really.
That also means that you can score the series for a little less of a cost, something we do because we love you so very very much and has nothing to do with the fact that I don’t want to spend two weeks burning CD’s.
Later, squirts! I’ll leave you with this picture of me getting excited about water.

Howdy rabid readers!
Or is that avid readers? I always get that wrong.
I have nothing for you to READ today, but I wanted to post something and decided to let you hear some of what I’ve been working on as far as music goes. This has absolutely nothing to do with Berona or anything else, it’s just me, my guitar, a keyboard, and an 8-track recorder messing around on a Wednesday night when I should be sleeping.
Enjoy!
