John Scalzi is an awfully good science fiction writer. He’s also no slouch as a live performer. When the boys from of Wootstock (Paul and Storm, Wil Wheaton, and Adam Savage) put together their show for Minneapolis in June of last year, they invited him as one of their guests.

 
NeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRDS!

Luckily, they also release their show under a creative commons license, so fan vidoes of every Wootstock performance can be found on the internet. The Minneapolis show had particularly good recording made (thanks grnbrgb). Other segments from the particular show will probably show up in the slush pile again.

Here’s John Scalzi reading his short story, “Morning Announcements at the Lucas Interspecies School for Troubled Youth.”

The Internet is a giant slush pile, and I’m the unpaid intern wading through it. Here’s a bit of pretty dredged from the dreck.
