All I have to say about this week's show is "what? Huh? Did I really just do that?" Oh, yeah, and that it is available for download. Well, I suppose I should probably expound on that a little, shouldn't I? OK, screw the fact that I'm tired, and I really don't want to. Here goes anyway...
You know what? Listen to the show for the rest of it. That's all the discription you're going to get from me. Sorry 'bout that, folks.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that this show is half an hour longer than normal. I hope this isn't a problem.
As always, I hope you enjoyed the show more than I did, although, I have to say, this was one of the most enjoyable shows in a while. Messenger interaction was a bit sparce on my part, since so much was going on with the phone and in the studio... I sort of forgot about them. Honestly, it was refreshing to not babysit messages all the time. Please don't feel offended if you were ignored. It's just one of those things, ya know?
- For once, Derek is not the first caller to the show. Instead, we get

kd6cae, a carbon Borris, and a hard left/right configuration for no reason other than because it can be done. - Derek called in, and related an amusing story after being side-tracked by conversation: "The dog ate my microphone? Well, not quite..."
- A discussion about microphones occurred, including my recent purchase of a vintage Grundig W1 stereo dynamic microphone from the early 70's, which I don't have to play with at this time. Believe me, you'll all know when I get it, as it should be strange.
- Mom shows up at the studio, at which point all hell breaks loose.
- The ask Mommy segment of the show was introduced, garnering lots of phone calls and weird things, including some incriminating Borris anecdotes.
- It's nearly time for Realtime 2009, the tenth ever such show. Discussion of this occurred, including requesting ideas for things to run over with various vehicles. Crunch time, anyone?
- Dad even showed up near the end of the show, for the first time ever.
- Yes, it is possible to have "dripping drums" using a couple of threshold activated phrase samplers. Sorry about the bad drum mixing, the overheads were too loud and the rest of the mics were too quiet. Still, the main point of the idea came across just fine.
