We’re going to be at the Knitters’ Frolic on April 28th, and there’s a podcaster meetup from 12:30-1:30 in the new lounge space near the cafe!  Come say hi to us, or feel free to stop us if you see us wandering around!

The second in a couple of…vintage…episodes, trying to catch up before we (hopefully) record just after the Knitters’ Frolic.  Now we time-travel back to the beginning of February.  How the hell is it almost May, already?

Stuff happened!  Holidays!  Presents!  Trips!  Illness!  Also, the volume is kind of messed up in spots, thanks to recording over Hangouts.
