SomaCow

Originally posted up (get it, another basketball reference but eerily appropriate!) at SomaCow.com

OK, seriously, we’ve been putting out SomaCow shows on the Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule for eons. This means the blogs are written Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday night. So why do they keep playing the NBA finals games on blog writing night???

And Geoff is out in the garage Studio G trying to fix things now that our a/c was completely destroyed today (yeah, the one we just bought). So here I am, by myself. But let me take this time to mention our good friends at The Channel Project. Check out their shows!

In this, their finest hour, the guys talked about comedians, sponsors, and barbecue.

The guys are trying to make their top list but what is a good number? 100? Is that too long? But seriously can you only do 10?

We would love some more sponsors, too bad the car industry is sucking so bad.

Maybe some of the local barbecue places? Barbecue is really something that’s hard to chain, it needs to be some home cooking.

I’m really sorry these are so short but the game is back on. And the baby is pulling out the power cord. And I’m thirsty.

Bye!

Jen

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by The Drew Show. Check ‘em out! They invented the word Twarnival, for crying out loud!

In this hour we discussed Orlando’s Tweetup, which was a pretty good initial effort, with 100+ attendees crammed into a bar, laughing, talking, and desperately seeking drinks. Thanks again to Etanowitz of the Orlando Sentinel for setting it all up.

I am not kidding… I met way too many people to list, so I will just randomly toss links at you to enjoy as you listen to this episode:

It was nice to see PeakArts again, and he and his lovely significant other (whose blog you can see here with pics) gave me some sweet keychains containing his art. I hoard them now, but you can swing by his site and check out all his stuff. Got to meet some new neato folks, like:

Ms. Fitzpatrick, of Metromix, who covers music, bars, and clubs downtown here in Orlando.

SirKyle, the shootingnest twitterer I have ever met.

Carlos, of CLOS Photography – He was in radio here in town, then went out and did some TV work, and some campaign work for President Obama.

Marc Middleton and crew of the GrowingBolder.com group were there, shooting video and covering the event. Want to see me on no sleep mid-Atkins? I warn you, it’s scary, but Marc and his Team are not. They are doing great work, and I hope to hear more from them often.

A dude that just travels the entirety of the Earth named Chuck Welch. He lives in Lakeland. Hush, RSilva.

C_Lane, local musician and bar crafter extraordinaire, who may be operating on even less sleep than I.

I spent an incredible few moments talking with a very tiny, very energetic momblogger who threatened to make Mickey and I the best latkes every crafted by a mom. She and I spent a few reminiscing on Ye Olden Orlando and rapidly tossing out food ideas, and I really wish I had more time.

Jen Cook, our News 13 ticker goddess.

The legendary Tom Sorrells, natch.

Plus people from CNN, local internet misfits, Elross, a guy that works in sound engineering who may be able to isolate J’s nasal whine so we can remove it from future episodes, etc… It was pretty awesome.

We sort of flew the flag on a possible April Tweetup involving The Ravenous Pig. Apparently, according the mmsmddsnjdnhe, if you go there on a special day once a month, they cook an entire pig roast dealio. Do not believe Mickey and his strange, awful fetal pig stories, it sounds like it is a really good time.

If you were at the tweetup, and want to post your link to your stuff, please do so in the comments for this episode.

And if you are NOT local, and frankly could give a crap about Twitter, we also talked about a buncha other stuff, and in the next hour, we talk about food for like a whole week. It’s awesome.

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you this week by The Drew Show, The Redboy Podcast, The Sports Buzz, and Nobody Likes Onions.

Geoff doesn’t feel like writing the blog tonight and I don’t blame him. After all, after about 30 minutes of him being at work he got a frantic call from me, his lovely wife, that I had a family emergency. He got someone to drive him home (one-car family) and then proceeded to drive my rambling crazy ass to Clearwater.

He held my hand, sang They Might Be Giants and Bob Marley with me, and, best of all, he drove!

Then he sat with me and about 80 clergy friends of my family (they aren’t really that churchy but I guess pastors have nothing to do on a Tuesday morning but visit a hospital waiting room) and helped, got answers, got snacks, got drinks, kept us laughing….

So it was a long day for us all and we are going to get some rest so I can go back to visit family again tomorrow. Thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts, as of now everything looks good and I’m sure we’ll share more Live this Friday! See you then!
