Today is your last chance to enter the Shelly’s Podcast bumper contest. If you want the Fab Frank to record a bumper or intro for your podcast, call 206-333-0583, or send us an audio comment. And remember, Frank picks the winner, not me. So if there is any sucking up to be done, it should be directed toward him. Frank will pick a winner on this weekend’s show.

Yes, I know that the driveway update audio is weird, especially my side. It’s totally my fault for not having headphones with me when using a new audio recorder. And once I heard it, I realized that I didn’t feel like re-recording.

Travels, birthday greetings, and Vegas craziness.
