Hey y’all.
Just got these pics from my nephew. These are the pics we talked about in SFTNW 3…Annie drew these in the kitchen as the Thanksgiving festivities were winding down…
1) here’s Dustin smashing pecan pie into Bill’s face (Bill is Dustin’s mom’s new boyfriend…)
2) …and my old man’s disapproving look at the situation…
3) …and here’s a lovely portrait of my mom…
4)…I decided to jump in the act, and draw a picture of my sister who recently quit smoking. She was the meanest.person.ever. every time we all went out to smoke…
got a few more of these, too, but the files are too big to upload, so i’m cutting and pasting pieces…
I can TOTALLY see these as greeting card characters…scary, funny, weird, awesome greeting card characters…
‘bye…
It’s always a little strange to run into a blogger or podcaster in “real life.” I’ve actually never done it. Yet. Except for Little Miss Nobody, and Microfamous - but they don’t count, cuz I knew them before in the “world of the real.”
Well, last night, Annie and I meet Nate and Di of The Nate and Di Show - a very, VERY popular podcast. They live in our town, and I started up a conversation with them over email after listening to them for a few months. I invited them to our improv show last night, and they showed up, laughed (thank you N and D), and at least looked like they were having a good time.
After the show, we hung out for a half hour or so and just chatted about all sorts of stuff. They’ve got some great stuff going on with their show, and I’ve volunteered my “real job” services to help ‘em out any way that I can (although they’re kicking ass pretty well on their own! - but I’m still glad to help, y’all…)
It was a little strange at first hanging out with folks who I feel like I’ve been hanging out with cuz I hear them every time they do a show! But they’re extremely nice people, and I got over the weirdness instantly. They gave us some great advice for our show, and I hope that I was able to help them out in their really cool, super-secret, issue that they’re chewing on right now.
So, if you have a chance, take a listen to them. Then leave ‘em a comment and let ‘em know how you heard about ‘em. (i’m a natural-born marketer, y’all. i can’t help it.)
Drink lots of juice today, and wear a scarf. We don’t want you getting sick before the holidays, now.
