Episode 119: Event Horizon

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, January 27 2010 (9:30 PM - 11:30 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “Another fourcast, of the top JB events of the decade; plus a vacation report, some rants, and a roundup of the latest headlines. Special guests Patti and Hud. (Cameos by Jennifer and Lee.)

    Before we start, here are some hijinks recorded with my laptop, pre-podcast.

    The silliness continued as we started brainstorming other business ventures in which Jimmy could invest.  After restaurants and casinos, branching out into strip clubs seemed inevitable; and here are some of the names we came up with for such a Buffett-themed establishment:

A Pirate Looks at Forties
Margatittyville
Bigger Than the Both of Us
Smart Woman in No Skirt
I Used to Have Money One Time
Cowboy in the Jungle
Whore Number Three
Lap Service
Defying Gravity
Apairatitso


    With all that tomfoolery out of the way, here are the show notes:

    10:41 - “Bad Sign for Margaritaville Casino in Biloxi”, from Buffett World
    10:56 - “As long as the cranes were up I was staying optimistic, cause I knew it was costing them money to rent them. Now we have to wait and see” DOM Coon wrote us, January 21.  “That’s the gospel from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Fins Up!!”  He also passed along a link to the story at WLOX, The Station for South Mississippi.
    11:45 - Pitchfork,com’s “Twenty Great ‘Simpsons’ Music Moments
    12:12 - “Shary Bobbins”, but you already knew that, didn’t you (from the 8th season episode “Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala[Annoyed Grunt]cious”)

    21:28 - the iPad was unveiled the very morning of this recording
    21:44 - Margaritaville Cafe Myrtle Beach | Margaritaville Cafe Las Vegas

    26:17 - I confess, there was such a big gap between this last segment and the next, the only way to disguise it was to cover it up with this little Tiki Bar TV promo
    26:48 - Listener Josh wrote us on January 17
    28:16 - I’m being overly generous.  Hud’s right.
    28:48 - yep, Listener Josh e-mailed us about the Pitcher Perfect EP back on May 21 2007
    30:01 - see 26:17, except now with a link to the Detroit Podcasters Network
    30:52 - the Buffett News timeline came in very handy in finishing our homework assignment
    31:24 - I said “numerically”, I meant “chronologically”
    37:54 - if “Every time Mike says ‘shellback’” and “Every time Mike says his guitar number” aren’t in the rules of the WAOTNC Drinking Game, they darn well should be!
    45:06 - The Paul Shaffer’s Day in Rock from January 16 could have been included in our previous episode, but missed it by mere minutes.  Compare the comments to how Shaffer described the same incident last year, as heard in Episode 60.

RCPM on a Sunday

    Testing out my new Zi8 at the recent Roger Clyne show, Sunday, October 4.  Video looks good; editing is more complicated than it should be.
    Here are some random shots, which turn out to be mainly the ends of songs.  A medley of finales.
