 SomaCow 358: We Tweeted That [1:03:39m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Originally charitized at SomaCow.com

In this, their first hour, the guys talked about tweetups, charities, and many fat subjects!

On Thursday night, we went to a tweetup hosted by Orlando Sentinel’s Etan. The first two of these events had large numbers of folks. This one didn’t have as many but the weather was easily to blame. I’m not sure about others but it was my favorite one yet! There were still at least 50 people there, but it wasn’t so huge that you felt overwhelmed. At previous tweetups the groups were sometimes so large that you could find us sitting off to the side with our known friends, chatting it up. This time, while we did still take up a good 3-4 tables with our friends, we also easily mixed in with others and chatted it up. Geoff got a few “pony” drinks with some friends he hadn’t seen in a while (as you can see in Thursday night’s blog), and we got the word out on the Cure for the Run.

Speaking of tweetups, Felix of Prime Time Geek had a karaoke tweetup Friday night after the SomaCow live show. We had big burgers, beers, and some singing. Jamie from The Experience said that neither Felix nor the guys of SC could beat Nos in a karaoke sing-off but I think she might be eating her words. You can see Nos here and Ross and Mickey here.

We came up with the name of our charity even fairly easily, easy considering the wit of these SomaCow guys, but some charities have some unfortunate names for their events. Or maybe it was planned that way?

And to prove that Geoff and I are watching less TV, they talk about the new reality Bachelor who loves fat women show we started watching. This led into discussion of fat shows, fat fighters, and “let’s be nice to fat chicks” week. Um, guys? Shouldn’t you be nice to us every week? Just saying…

I can’t believe it’s only a few weeks until the Cure for the Run! If you can swing by our facebook page and RSVP, it’s an easy way for us to get a good idea of how many are coming. If not, shoot us an email from the website or let us know on the forum. We want to make sure we have ourselves covered!

 

 SomaCow 295: Feedbackbiting [1:09:59m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Chris P For President. It’s the straight up biscuits, served by a man we love and… umm… know.

In this episode, I go over some of the feedback to Faux Pas 2009 (2009), we talk about eating alone, and the importance of “booth room”, we discuss The Death of CSB, and what that portends to quite a few local podcasts, and we gave some shouts outs and song requests to the creme de la creamy.

Connecticut School of Broadcasting School of Broadcasting Broadcasting School closed this week, and hundreds of students are reportedly pissed off. It seems there was a stipulation that one of the perks of graduating said CSBSBBS was the use of the facility’s, namely, studio time and check out of AV equipment, and now that the massive organization has gone tits-up, everyone is left in the lurch with regard to their respective demo reels, shows, and sundry projects.

We here at the ‘Cow empathize with everyone involved, and if you need some studio space or help in figuring out what to do now, welcome you to give us a call. Even if just for advice. We like podcasts, and want to see more, not less, of them all around this town. All our support goes out to The Experience, Area 52, The Sports Buzz, Big Dirty Radio, and anyone else affected by the closure.

I had occasion this week to do Atkins at a diner, alone, and found myself in a rare position, namely, silent. Minimal chit chat with the waitress, then a solid ten minutes of quiet, just waiting for food, taking pictures of food, uploading pictures of food, tweeting about food, then responding to the responses about my food, eating my food, and then leaving. Sad. I am very happy to have good friends and a great wife willing to dine out with me, cause I’d be ordering in from now on if that was how every meal went. Ross laughs at my misery, because he loves to be old man at the Denny’s pounding down books and hashbrowns like nobody’s business.

J’s newsbomb is horrfiying, per usual. Enjoy! I am still trying to get him to sign on with the idea of hosting a 24/7 webcam in his house, but he keeps referring to “quality time” and “quantity time”. Both seem to be about ribs.

Stick around and listen in at the end of the episode for a special story by Chris from Mississippi. He’s a budding writer, and I am enjoying his short stories. If any of you would like to read more, drop me a line (moo@somacow.com) and I will get right on it. Also, if anyone has a huge map of the world they would like to donate to SomaCow, I need one now to keep track of all the Chrises. Thanks!
