Airship O'Reilly

Long ago a young, or perhaps freshly painted, airship christened the Brazen Beauty set off her first journey from the far-away city of Tennesbury. After years of adventures too far-fetched to repeat, she found herself and her crew lost in a much stranger land... this one. Now renamed Airship O'Reilly, she and her crew come to the con to... well... probably steal something.

Started back in 2007 as the Brazen Beauty, the Champaign, IL based Airship O'Reilly has since evolved beyond just a group of kids who wanted to make movies and have fun. Bringing together several slightly insane individuals, O'Reilly has become a force of entertainment, hosting events in their hometown, making costumes and accessories, and bringing the madness and chaos with them wherever they go.

Brian Heinz

Many are the rumors that surround Brian Heinz aka the Last Angry Geek. Some say his first, and only, love is comic books and that he reviews them for the masses. Others say he's a huge Doctor Who fan and he sits on a couch of green reviewing the new episodes. Others still, say there is no Last Angry Geek, there is only Lord Stark, sworn member of the Nights Watch and reviewer of Game of Thrones. A guy down the street says he's pretty sure he saw the Geek dressed up as Cloak #1 shortly after the events of SUBURBAN KNIGHTS. Rifftrax wouldn't return our calls, but on their website the Geek appears with Rob and Doug Walker for the riff of Batman Returns. Finally, George Lucas once said he was sure the Geek did a pretty good Obi-Wan impression but died at the hands of the Executer during TO BOLDLY FLEE. Many rumors surround the Last Angry Geek, what is known, is that many Bothans died to bring you this profile.

Jori Laws

Born and raised in the Philippines, Jori is probably the whitest looking Asian you will meet. She is the co-founder of Forced Viewing, a website dedicated to reviewing, discussing, and covering all things horror. When she isn't working her little heart out for ForcedViewing.com, she can be found ruining everyone's fun as the angry mom in Suburban Knights. Unsatisfied with just one cameo, she has expanded her "career" with other guest appearances on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com including Demo Reel, To Boldly Flee, Nostalgia Critic, and Dragonbored. When she isn't living and breathing horror, she is usually curled up on her couch obsessing over Korean Dramas.

Jason Laws

Let's all welcome The Drudgeon (better known as Jason Laws) to the bio page. Talent just flows from his every pore and he is world famous (well at least he thinks so) for his work on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com. He has had starring roles in To Boldly Fee, Demo Reel, The Nostalgia Critic and Dragonbored (actually he's usually in the background and flubbing his lines). Other than that he writes for Forcedviewing.com where he reviews horror movies (his one true love) from the greats to the terrible and everything in-between. Lastly he is a huge fan of Adventure Time and appears with Mr. Walker on the Adventure Time Vlogs (poor Doug). When dealing with him it's best to approach The Drudgeon as if he were an animal at the zoo. Look at him in all his beauty, but don't feed him and for the love of god don't get too close because you don't know what strange diseases he may have.

Come see a man of such insanity and bizarrely confusing issues that he was actually dumb enough to let his brother write his profile for him. Doug rules!
