Ryan tricked Luke Ray of Swingin' Utters / Cobra Skulls / Only Crime into hanging out in a vampire ballroom for a half hour. Did it get crazy? Listen to find out.

Ryan ran into Ken Yamazaki of Western Addiction, Dead To Me and Enemy You at the Fat show in Chicago. You know it's a good one when it involves a couple of people who have spent time all over the country together. Music from Be My Doppelganger, Teen Idols and Enemy You.

Ryan got a chance to go shoot the shit with Jesse Thorson of The Slow Death and many other great Minneapolis bands. Drinks with friends = good podcasts.

Ryan had a chance to sit in Arzu of Pink Mink / Selby Tigers' back yard and learn a little bit about what got her into music and what continues to drive her. Pure excellence!

Stacey Dee stopped by the house in Dixon on her way out to start the Fat Wreck 25 Year Anniversary Tour! I figured we should do an episode!

The conclusion of Ryan and Brendan drinking and talking of fond (and not so fond) memories past. Music from The Ratchets, The Broadways and The Falcon.
