About the upcoming art show Mon. April 1st
@ Neons Unplugged
208 E 12th St Cincinnati, OH 45202

Using the start of the baseball season in Cincinnati, Ohio as the background, the artists are going to be creating and showcasing art to celebrate Mr. Red Legs. Come check out some local independent artists.
The GEC is made up of visual artists who live in the Greater Cincinnati area. Formed in Fall 2011, the group was founded under the premise of bringing art to the people by showing in bars, restaurants, outdoor events, and other alternative galleries. Each show has its own theme and contains some type of live art performance. If you are interested in hosting a Ghost Empire event, please contact us via email, ghostempirecollective@gmail.com
What is the Ohiocast and what is Deathsquadohio? Let's start with the Ohiocast. The Ohiocast is a series of podcasts from yours truly The Izzy Rock (Dayton, Ohio), The Sample Hour podcast (Columbus, Ohio), and Mitch Nutter (Cincinnati, Ohio).
Whenever these podcrafters do a show together, it is under the banner of the Ohiocast. Episode 1 is on The Sample Hour podcast feed, episode 2 and 3 are on the Tales From The Hardside feed. On Twitter use #Ohiocast and we will track it.
We'll refer to it as DSOhio at this point in the blog. DSOhio started out as friends who met through Twitter under the #DEATHSQUAD hashtag. These are fans of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, stand up comedy, free thought and support legalization who decided to meetup one day in May 2012 when Brian Redban (Ohio native, Co-host & producer of the JRE as well as producer of the Deathsquad Podcast Network) and Joey "CoCo" Diaz (Legendary stand up comedian, actor, and host of the Church of What's Happening Now podcast) played the first in a series of "Deathsquad" shows at the Woodlands Tavern in Columbus, Ohio.
That first meetup was something special. It was hosted by Jason @no_susquahenna aka @deathsquadohio and Bender @abubeaner_97 at Bender's house. A group of strangers who only knew each other through the 1's & 0's of the internet, who are currently friends in reality. Ever since that first meeting there has been more shows, more meetups and a series of podcasts from these individuals. Here are some pics from the various meetups since May 2012.
