An evening of Gangbusters!

Death on the docks… What do you think when you think of gangsters?   Scar face ? The Godfather ? The Godfather 2 ? Once Upon a Time in America ? The Untouchables ?   Or like me do you think of Johnny Dangerously ?   A hilarious film from the 80s with Michael Keaton and lots of ‘Fargin bastarges!’.   Well as part of the Good Friend of Jackson Elias Con I got to play Gangbusters with the chief mobster being Dirk the Dice from the Grognard files .  I listen to the Grognard files (if you don’t, why not?) and over several episodes Dirk has been discussing and promoting more of us to consider playing Gangbusters.  So, when the chance came up to play at the Good Friends Con I made a like a mobster and ensured my name was going to get on the playlist by sending a picture of a horse’s head in the post to the organisers (well actually I just entered the lottery but that doesn’t sound very ‘mobstery’). As luck would have it I was lucky (as Dirty Harry would say) and was in the game.   Back
