2011-12-31T12:05:00.000-08:00

Hey Everybody!
It has been a hectic but wonderful holiday season here at Hatching Phoenix Productions. There are a few things that I wanted to get done in December that fell through, but 2012 is going to blow your minds!

Before the year ends, I wanted to give you guys a second update, so this is a video I recorded in November for TuacaCon! Click HERE to watch online! TuacaCon is a virtual con put together by Specficmedia.com's P.G. Holyfield, and it was a blast. Visit their Ustream channel to watch all of the amazing videos from this year, including amazing readings from Nathan Lowell, James Durham, and a bunch of others.

The video is a reading of my flash story "The Space War," which appeared this year in Static Movement Press's Pot Luck Flash Fiction Anthology.

Also, I was a guest on Nutty Bites podcast. We talked about geeky gifts and gift giving dos and don't for nerds. It was lots of fun. Go have a listen!

That just wraps up this post for the end of 2011. I hope you've enjoyed listening to this year's stories and interviews. There are some really great new ones coming up in 2012. I hope you'll stay with us on The Way of the Buffalo!

The War With Homelessness:
No one knows how the first homeless person figured out how to access the S.T.O.R.M. Shelters, much less how they all coordinated the mass migration. Those mysteries notwithstanding, Americans woke up one morning to find their cities empty of vagrants. Talking heads debated various theories, and a prominent evangelical theologian had a breakdown, believing he had missed the rapture.
Days later, they returned, Rising to the surface of every major city through a massive mauve grate. The shelters had been built and armed in case of cold war invasion and forgotten. The homeless had returned to clean up their streets.

Hi folks!
First of all, let me say thank you to all the wonderful members of the Way of the Buffalo team who have helped me out so far. A lot of them haven't made it on to the air yet, but you know who you are. Let me also extend a hearty thanks and an apology to the fantastic authors who have submitted work to us. It is all great, and selecting pieces to podcast has been a much more difficult job than I expected.
Finally, I would like to apologize to and thank all (both) of you listeners for being patient with me in my nascent podcasting efforts.
Unfortunately, you're going to have to be a little more patient. Honestly, I'm just a guy working out of his spare room in his spare time, which has been in short supply lately. I have a lot of fun things planned for this podcast, but I went in pretty unprepared for the demands of publishing, and the timetable for this sort of thing ended up being a bit longer than I thought it would be. In order to get some work out there that you'd actually enjoy listening to, and giving my authors and contributors the level of quality they deserve from me, I need more time to set The Way of the Buffalo up properly. I won't be gone too long, just for a month or so, and new episodes with start on September 1st, 2010.
Than you again for your patience as I take my first faltering steps going the way of the buffalo.
--Hugh J. O'Donnell, Editor

Drabble Gauntlet!

Hey Folks!
Things are a bit behind schedule here in the pod-cave. I'm hoping to have episode 1 online tomorrow. In the meantime, the competition has begun!
It's... THE DRABBLE GAUNTLET!
For the month of June, I will be competing against my good friend Joseph to write the most 100-word short stories. Our goal is to write 300 each, or ten a day. I'll be posting my success each day on twitter. Follow me at http://twitter.com/hatchingphoenix

This is the first post to the blog portion of the Way of the Buffalo! Welcome!
We're a podcast for short stories, board games, and other obscure or anachronistic hobbies. The first episode is coming together nicely, and should be up on Itunes before too long. We're starting with a literary competition between Hugh and Joseph which should be a lot of fun.
If you are a writer, artist, or musician, particularly in the Western New York area, and you would like to contribute short fiction, art, music, or would like to be interviewed, all are welcome. Please email us at wayofthebuffalopodcast@gmail.com
Until next time, we're going the way of the buffalo!
