A few years back, we did a live show at AwesomeCon in DC. I came down from Philly for the weekend, everybody traveled to make it happen, great night.
Well the next year, AwesomeCon says they cannot accommodate us for another live show. Weird, but you roll with the punches...

And I say all that to say two things:
First, happy anniversary to the first couple of podcasts, the people who are directly responsible for me talking too much on the internet.
