| − | == Richard's role in Supernatural Conventions ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Richard serves as emcee for [http://www.creationent.com/ Creation Entertainment's] Salute to Supernatural events. He is the first to hit the stage each day, running through the convention's Rules and Regulations with his own style of humor, before introducing each guest. He welcomes and sends off each guest, often finishing up guest Q & As with a 'Lightning Round”.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Richard also hosts the Karaoke Kings Party on Friday night's with fellow convention regular [[Matthew Cohen]]. Karaoke is free for anyone who would like to join in. Attendees are persuaded to come in costume based on a predetermined theme. The event started out small but has become a Supernatural convention tradition with a loyal following.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Attendees who are present for the first day of conventions have a special place in Richard's heart. Typically, conventions begin on Fridays, so he has dubbed these con-goers 'Friday People.' Friday People have the opportunity to purchase a shirt adorned with Richard's face, only available on Fridays. This is another example of Richard's mark on the Supernatural convention circuit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Aside from his hosting duties, you can see Richard onstage for various panels, as well as joining Louden Swain for multiple songs during the band's own convention event – the Saturday Night Special. You can catch him offstage at the autograph table (often signing karaoke memorabilia free of charge) and in various photo ops - including a “Pre-Game” convention kick off op with onstage sidekick [[Rob Benedict]] and multiple Karaoke Kings ops, both in costume and out.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''#Kings Of Con'''<br>
| |
| − | Richard recently announced that he is working on a web series, titled Kings of Con, with Rob Benedict that will take a comedic look at the convention world. Rob and Rich are writing and starring in the series. They describe their roles as “caricatures” of themselves. They are using crowdfund site, Indiegogo to help raise production funds. Initially they are working on a 10 episode run. You can get more information and donate to their endeavor [https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/kings-of-con here].
