Another exciting week here are ACHQ. A bunch of bonus and exclusive episodes, some news, and a preview of tonight’s live-stream. And, I got to see Chris in his element, on the ice, as he curled at the Windy City Curling Club here in the ‘burbs of Chicagoland.
I’m still not sure if his team won or lost as I can’t make heads-or-tails of this goofy sport, but it was fun to see him having a good time, doing something he loves.
LIVE! at 8pm (cst) we will be talking about the first volume of the sci-fi / adventure series ‘WE ONLY FIND THEM WHEN THEY’RE DEAD’ by Al Ewing and Simone Di Meo .
Join in on the conversation on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or Twitch!
