I’d like to apologize for the audio quality of this episode. It was super hot in the room and we had a special guest, to remedy the heat issue we picked the lesser of two audio evils (fan vs AC) and we went with the AC. Next time we’ll just have our guest fan us with palm fawns.

I write to you from the Love Long and Prosper compound in the Phoenix area. After 5+ hours of driving yesterday we finally arrived and drove over to Dan and CJ’s place.

After some recovery time we headed over to the Mesa RiverView and ate at CrackerBarrel. After dinner we hopped on the highway and headed over to the Tempe Marketplace to Meetup with all of the social media / new media folks from around the area.

About 25 people showed up to the event and it was good to meet some new folks. Jen & CJ headed home early, I went over to the car with them to move our carseat to their car and when we came back EVERYONE WAS GONE! There was this concert going on at the marketplace so Dan, Ken and I went over to check that out. I think it was some cover band that was playing since I recognized the songs but I knew they were from different groups. We got a call from CJ stating that she read on twitter that everyone has moved to the Paradise Bakery. We headed over there to meetup with everyone and enjoy the rest of the evening.

Here are some photos from last night

Natahlee posted a great video of the event as well check it out below:

Kevin over at A Geek and his Wife asked if I’d be on his “Geek Week” show this week. Geek Week is the show he does in between his normal shows with his wife so he doesn’t have to bore her with all the geek talk. He and I had a great time geeking it up together, we talked about iPhone / iPod Touch hacking, modding consoles, social networking, nerdcore music & movies, old school gaming, and pc vs console gaming. Jessalyn even made a guest appearance at the VERY end of the show.

I don’t want to force the geekery on all of our listeners so I’m not going to add this episode to our feed. If your are interested in checking out the episode swing by their website over at ageekandhiswife.net or subscribe via itunes. I’m interested in knowing what you thought of the show. Please call their voicemail line 206-203-5613 and leave any comments you have there.
