email from a second gen fan!

Hey, Ya'll.

I'll be in Indianapolis the first week of October for an educational conference (the Keystone Conference) and I'm planning to run up to Muncie again to visit JeffreyT on the goodbeershow. He just forwarded me an email from a wonderful fellow in Alaska and I wanted to share it here (for the 3 potential readers of this blog, heheheeheee). Anyway, if that doesn't make one feel old (and lucky, at the same time), go figure. I do have to say that his blog and the pics there make me miss Alaska in a bad way...

Jeffrey,

I have been listening to your podcast from #3 and enjoy it tons. I am a commercial fisherman in Alaska and have spent most of my life up here. I was totally surprised to here your podcast with the Last Frontier Band, I remember my parents going to see them when they played in Anchorage, great music. Can you tell me how I can get ahold of some of their music?

Your show is great and I mostly listen while out on fishing trips, it makes the beer taste oh so much better when we hit the bar in port. Rarely do we drink while out fishing but if we do it is usually "football beer". Cans are much easier to deal with than bottles while on the boat.

Keep up the good work, I'll be looking forward to the next show.

Take it easy,

Sean Rhodes

LongTimeNoPost

Been busy, ya'll, with the Snacks4theBrain! podcast and getting my school computer lab ready for the lovely young'uns.

I have it on good authority that I'll be visiting Muncie again the first week of October to drop in on our buddies at the goodbeershow one more time. Just a little sidestep off the educational path from the Keystone Conference in Indianapolis that week. Sort of a hop-skip-jump Tuesday night then right back on for the sessions on Wednesday. I'll probably take a growler of Yazoo Onward Stout this time. And maybe a couple bottles of the Lion Stout I recently discovered in Nashville, a very tasty brew from Nepal, of all places.
