Episode 141: When It All Falls Down Under

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, January 26 2011 (10:30 PM – 12:00 AM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “Our Australian correspondents fill us in on Jimmy’s tour Down Under, Mickey rounds up the Irvine CA show, and Schmoe provides the latest about his nipples. (Special guest: Jennifer.)”

    Jimmy sure knows how to make an exit. His return to Australia after twenty-two years made headlines, but probably not the way he would’ve wanted.
    Mike provides this week’s title. Alternates include:

Gravity Storm
Last Man Standing
Stars Fell In Australia
Why the Things We Do
Survive
Beyond the End…Of the Stage
Face Plant For the Night
Sinko de Jimmyo
I Wish the Stage Could Last Forever
When the Stagefront Betrays Me
A Pirate Looks at Floory
Defining Gravity
Changes in Altitudes
