SoCal Sherlockians

Hey @littlemouse23321! Sorry for the delay in responding, we’re still getting some details put together. The short of it is that we have at least two TPPers headed to the convention – @headcumbernerd will be there and our graphics guru @foxestacado will be there as a vendor. Definitely feel free to say hello to both of them and mention the podcast! Nervousness as cons is perfectly normal, but we’re hopeful everyone will have a good time. 

US fans here is an excellent opportunity to see Benedict Cumberbatch at a gala in Los Angeles and support a wonderful charity.

The GEANCO Foundation will honor humanitarian and Oscar-nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game, Sherlock, Marvel’s Doctor Strange) for his passionate advocacy on behalf of vulnerable women and children around the world.

Event proceeds will fund our medical and educational programs in Nigeria, including our David Oyelowo Leadership Scholarship for Girls, which provides scholarships for girls impacted by acts of terrorism.

Movie Night & Medal Quiz

Hosted by the Curious Collectors of Baker Street, Saturday September 24th promises fun at an outdoor screening of The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. Additionally, the yearly tradition of battling for canon knowledge supremacy (and actual medals) will be tested round robin style with The Solitary Cyclist as the topic. Participation is wholly voluntary. If you’d like to compete, start studying now and go through the story with a fine tooth comb! Keep an eye on the CCOBS Facebook page for further event details closer to the date.

Attenta attenta! We have a new Teespring campaign to raise funds to continue podcasting, hosting events, hosting giveaways, traveling to conventions, and generally doing cool Holmes stuff! This collection of tanks and tees is thanks to Sakibatch (Patreon, Redbubble, Storenvy,Tumblr) and features a very floral Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

You can get all the things above in a variety of colors until June 17th! Yes, Teespring will ship internationally! All the shipping, sizing, and other info you may need is on the campaign page. We ADORE this design (thank you so much Saki!!!) and we hope you do too :).

100% of the profits will go towards helping us at The BSB continue to podcast, host events, giveaways, create amazing Sherlock Holmes related things, and continue being awesome. As such, your support is ENORMOUSLY appreciated!
