How to Do the Dumb (feat. Tobias McCurry)

While visiting Seattle, Ryan interviews Tobias McCurry, a regular guest here on Life. Action. RolePlay! except visiting him in his hometown on Valentine's... er... Sonic Day! The topic is "How to Do The Dumb," a phrase referring to being brave enough to make a foolish choice as your character in a game rather than the wiser choice in real life. It means letting go of ego and embracing the fun in failure! 

Tobias McCurry is a maker, costumer, and performer out of Seattle, WA. Known primarily for his participation in the show "Steampunk'd" on GSN, and his Steampunk creations such as his "Spring-Heeled Jack" outfit, his most notable works involve his unique take on costuming.

Utilizing his knowledge of the performing arts, he has expanded the art to platforms such as Live Action Roleplaying (LARP), independent film/commercials, and the convention circuit itself!Participating in LARP across the US for over a decade, he has become strong advocate for its creative and mental benefits as a performing art for nerds.
