Update on Show and PAX West 2018!

Hey all, It’s been 3 months since the last show and I’ve got some good news and bad news.

Good news: We recorded a show Sunday night.

Bad news: We suffered an audio engineering issue. Pray to whatever gods you believe in that ichiban friend of the show can work their magic again or this one might be lost to time.

Good news: There will be a meet-up.

Bad news: It’s not the blowout that overlaps with Ethiopian Hip-Hop Night we had last year. After the Let’s Rank It! panel I’m going to head down the Sheraton for some hangs and drinks prior to the League of Heels show.

Good news: After our recording break, I think we are ready to get on some kind of schedule again post-PAX. Details to follow once we discuss post PAX.

Bad news: Still no Prius sex.
