I had the pleasure of making my third visit to Channel 7, KGO television in San Francisco yesterday to do a piece on great geeky toys for Christmas for the 7 Live afternoon show. As always, the folks at KGO were gracious and fun. I even had a great chat about artists cutting out the middlemen and dealing with their fans directly, with comedian Christopher Titus in the green room (and I introduced him to Kickstarter). I hope you enjoy the segment!
