This week we are joined by AoN listener Cetius, who backed our kickstarter campaign and got himself a guest spot. I gotta admit, he holds his own pretty damn well. Jena had a Fringe Festival show rehearsal this week so we pulled in our oft-time guest host Porter to fill in for her. We also used Porter’s podcasting rig which is much better than ours. It’s actually very much like what we will be getting.
Anyway, we talk about CONvergence and Batman and boardgames and eating outdoors at restaurants and hell I can’t remember it all, it’s a scotch month.
That said, a couple plugs:
Cetius has been working the “Can’t Stop the Serenity” charity event and would like to invite anyone in the area to attend. It’s at the Riverview theatre August 9th-11th. Each night features a screening of Serenity as well as some other cool nerdy thing.
You can also find him performing with the Twin Cities shadow cast of Rocky Horror, you can find their Facebook page with info here.
Lastly, Jena and the lovely and talented Bill Young will be performing with a burlesque show this Saturday at Ground Zero in Minneapolis. I’m told they will be dressed as zombies. Dig it.
Ach, my recorded voice sounds….not right. Also, it’s odd to listen to a conversation you just had the night before the next day.
4:30 – I’ve looked it up and Dalwhinnie is from the West Highlands region.
44:50 – The six “Classic Malts” were originally defined in 1988: Cragganmore, Dalwhinnie, Glenkinchie, Lagavulin, Oban, and Talisker. In 2005, the following “Classic malts” were added: Caol Ila, Cardhu, Clynelish, Glen Elgin, Glen Ord, Knockando, and Royal Lochnagar.
That was too much fun!

Awww, you guys are like the little old yarn-hoarder ladies of Steam games. You have more games than you can play; but you just can’t resist a
yarngame sale!The first few minutes of this is the pastoral movement used in many Warner Brothers cartoons, which Salsa incorrectly hummed and identified as part of the 1812 Overture:

Shortly before the three minute mark is where it breaks into the up tempo part most know as the Lone Ranger theme song.
Yes, I know. It’s the William Tell Overture, not the 1812 Overture. I got them mixed up for a moment. My bad.

Some of what Salsa said last week about his Convergence experience was similar to what Matt said last year, but with one key difference: listening to what Matt said about it didn’t make me want to punch him in the face.
Ha!
That’s only because I deserve it.
Eating outside at restaurants:
While it is an extreme example, I once sat had breakfast outdoors at a restaurant on Mykonos, watching the girls peel out of their clothing and lay out their blankets to begin a day of nude tanning. I have never had a more enjoyable meal anywhere. Did I get sand in my yogurt? Maybe. Did I give a damn? Absolutely not.
