Episode 41: Daniel Stashower and The Hour of Peril

On May 27th (the day we put out our first podcast episode) we will officially be 2 years old! Come celebrate our second birthday with food, drinks, board games, and lots of Sherlockian love!

Your ticket gets you all the noms (hors d’oeuvres) you want. There is a cash bar that sells all the alcohol your liver can take as well as soft drinks, tea, etc. Please note the food, while plentiful, is hors d’oeuvres, not a sit-down dinner.

You can get tickets at bsb2ndbirthday.bpt.me

We have been toying with the idea of doing commentaries for awhile. Lord knows we have enough to say! So we’re delighted to announce that we’re moving forward with the idea!

The commentaries will be released through our podcast and have a small introduction before we tell you when to click play on the film/episode we’re talking about. Watch and listen along as we’ll point our facts, debate, poke fun, and generally enjoy the piece with you. The best part is that you all will be deciding what we comment on!

So please vote in the poll below to decide what our first commentary will be!

[CLICK TO VOTE]

The poll will close on May 17th.

We are live tweeting a first-time viewing of Murder by Decree, in an impromptu and unscheduled manner. Because we are free *****es, baby. Right now.

Join us!  Follow @BakerStBabes on Twitter for all the details.

Oh, hey, over 18,000 followers.

Can we love you more?  We want to know how!  Let us know how, because you are BRILLIANT AND BEAUTIFUL! 

Thank you!

221B Con happened the weekend of April 12th in Atlanta, GA. It was their inaugural con of all things Sherlock Holmes and was a wild success. We were lucky to be invited as guests and decided to film some footage of the weekend for all attendees to cherish in the years to come. Enjoy!

Folks, scrolling through the Mary Morstan tag, now seems a good time for the Babes to talk about the Pineapple Principle.

Let’s say that you adore grapes.  Green ones, possibly, this being the Sherlock fandom.  Yeah?

You’re walking down the street, and you have a ziplock bag full of muthafuckin green grapes, and you are loving life.  You are snacking on the grapes.  You are happy.  They are delicious.  (Let’s say for instance they taste like Johnlock.)

Now let’s say, in the course of your stroll, you encounter a fruit vendor selling a pineapple to a pedestrian.

Answer this question for us: would you, seeing the person buying a pineapple, STOP AND SHOUT AND YELL AT THEM FOR BEING A TERRIBLE STUPID PERSON AND PINEAPPLE IS GROSS AND OMFG IT WRECKS MY ENTIRE LIFE THAT YOU ENJOY PINEAPPLES MY GRAPES ARE NOW RUINED.

No?

You’re saying you probably wouldn’t do that?

Then it would behoove you to apply the same rubric to tumblr posts.  Like things, dislike things, all you like.  Talk about them!  Discuss your feelings!  But if you considered adhering to the Pineapple Principle, it would be a lot easier for us all to get along.

This has been a Baker Street Babes PSA.

*cough* Again, folks…

The day RP, spinoffs coughAUfanficscough, and the word “Cumberbitches” appear on the pages of ye New York Review of Books is the day I cry VICTORY. Is this the real life?!

P.S., Thank you for informing me that people in the 40’s wrote essays on Watson being Sherlock’s wife.

O_______O
