In the tradition of fan films such as Chad Vader (thanks again for coming on the show, Matt and Aaron), comes a fan film for another great franchise... the first Dan Potacke fan film! Featuring Dan Potacke's brother, Doug Potacke... who is a Starship Commander... In Space!

Hi, everybody. It's me, your good friend, Dan Potacke. And I'm bringing my show back to The Frequency to interview more guests, tell some more jokes and to give more people a chance to spin away on the Wheel of Fantasticness.

Joining me on July 20th will be: Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda of Blame Society Productions, they are the guys who created internet sensation Chad Vader as well as several other video series including: Bric-A-Brac Theatre, Fun Rangers, Thor's Kitchen, and so many more.

Additionally, they will be joined by John Urban of the Urban Music Theater on My Madison TV. We'll talk about his long-running tv show focusing on local music, his photography business and maybe even touch on his extensive charity work.

Just added to the bill: Comedian Aaron Quinn. It's been too long since he has done stand-up but read his great comedy blog at: http://www.quinntastic.com

All this stuff... and lots more!

Next Monday, JULY 20TH, at the FREQUENCY! The show starts at 6pm and as always it's free!

OMG! YOU GUYS, SERIOUSLY! OMG! Go to: http://www.thedailypage.com/theguide/venue.php?venue=2733&name=Frequency,-The

It's in the paper too, but my phone battery is out of power so I can't take a pic. Hugs all around to everyone at the Isthmus!

I understand that the staff of The Isthmus might be too busy to come check out my show, so I decided to bring my show to them! Watch it in the video below!

That's right, I'm reminding them to come to my next show on Monday, June 29th at 6pm at the Frequency (121 W. Main) where my guests will be: District 2 Alder Bridget Maniaci, UW-Madison Professor Constance Steinkuehler from Games Learning Society, and comedian Dave Lebedz. As always the show is free, I hope the Isthmus staff can make it... and I hope you can too!!!

Yo, folks. It's me, Danny P. Despite all the success of the show so far, I have to admit, I still don't feel like I'm made it (in local Madison media) because none of my shows have been viewed as an "Event Pick" by the biggest tastemakers in town: The Isthmus!
