Hey boys and girls, I thought it was time for me to come say hello on here! Wow, what a crazy exciting time for us, and heck, for you too! Our move to Shotgun was a great one, and we’re all exceedingly excited about it. There’s so many things going on right now that I don’t even know where to start. I guess I’ll just pick one and be off…

First, the brand spankin’ new site! It’s very shiny. It’ll be about a month or so before we have all the little tweaks we want added in, but it’s nice to have a home to refer people to! Plus, it’s in my favorite colors, red and black, which makes me all happy like. But just keep checking in, as there will be regular changes going on around here.

Second, our first podcast is going to be uploaded for your enjoyment this Saturday, April 7th. That actually coincides with the birthday of the person who got me into this crazy geeky mess, my brother, so it all works out in a very zen way. We’re working on some great content for you. We’ve got some great new sound thingies and whatnot, I don’t know what all we’ve got, but then that’s Vince’s job. I just know that when you finally hear it, it will be both interesting and pleasant on the ears. I know that I myself have a review of Diddy Kong Racing DS lined up, plus a little love poem from us to GameTap (*loving sigh*), and lots of geek news! These couple of weeks that we’ve been off-air has made me really jones for it, and I know the guys feel the same way, so I just KNOW that this first show is going to be amazing - as is every one that will follow.

Third, we’ve got our launch party that we’re planning. There’s a lot of stuff to be worked out as to what exactly will be going on and where, but that’s what happens when you develop crazy ideas for the unfortunately not so distant future. We’ll have a fun event for all of you Chicago folks to attend, so keep your ear to the ground. As of right now, we’ll have a couple signed Brian K. Vaughn books to auction (as well as more signed comic creator swag that’ll be flowing into the SitD offices over the next couple of weeks), a video game raffle, and much much more - plus half the proceeds will be going to the Hero Initiative. You won’t want to miss it, I promise!!!

In other randomness, Lucas and I watched all 22 episodes of Buffy season 7 in 2 days. It was kind of scary. But so awesome. I cry like a girl during that last episode. Which, of course, makes sense given that I am a girl. Hmmm… I’m also reading a couple new mangas and watching some new anime so that I’ll have some good Otaku Onslaughts for you in the coming weeks. And gaming like crazy. I’ve become addicted to Age of Wonders II, which I got on GameTap. It’s just so freaking addictive, and I can’t stop playing it even when I know I should be doing other things, like work, or school. As if those things are important! Bah.

Anyway, I think that’s all of the actual semi-intelligent things I have to say for the night. I hope you’re all as excited as we are about getting this thing off the ground, and we’ll see you…. errrr… you’ll hear us next week!
