I’m finding it hard to picture the new Storm. Photographic evidence, please.

I bet you could parlay your Felicia Day connection into a Joss Whedon acknowledgment. She’s totally tight with him. (Also totally awesome. Have you seen her music video yet?). McCartney might be a little trickier.

By the way, I love the Vosges bacon chocolate bar. It is not jumping the shark; it is delicious. Their Red Fire bar is really good too.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen Storm sans facial hair, so I guess I’ll have to wait until the JJ show this Friday to weigh in. Getting excited to hear these new songs…

I do like having a song at the end of the podcast. The time of the song compared to the length of the podcast is a fairly small percentage, and I like being exposed to new music (usually, and at least, new to me) or reminded of songs I’ve heard before (such as “But Mr. Adams”). I understand if, on occasion, you can’t come up with a song that fits your theme, but I’d rather it be there as a default. It’s like dessert after a well balanced Paul and Storm meal.

For those in Northern VA, highly recommended whether you’re a vegan/vegetarian or not (I’m not.) Their General Tso’s is a veggie doppelganger of the chicken original (it’s actually a bit spooky how much like meat the texture is; if you’ve ever read Frederick Pohl’s “Space Merchants” it’ll give you pause. But what I like most is that they don’t pull their punches with the spices and heat. We go to the one in Seven Corners, though the original is in Vienna, VA.

And: Is the awesome vegan restaurant Sunflower?

I would also like to see facial hair comparison pics before giving my opinion; that being said, you should do whatever you like. Of course.

Will you be playing your new song at Jammin’ Java?

I’ll try it again from the high speed connection at work. That seemed to get around the previous download problems.

Not having heard the podcast yet, I’ll just say that I thought Storm looked just fine down in Ardmore. He looked far less Canadian than that other group.

Second, if anyone is driving a bus to the DC-area show, per our Overlord’s bequest, please stop in State College and pick me up.

Thirdly, as a goat wearer, I always encourage those of us who can sport facial hair to use our powers for good…but it’s all up to the midi-chlorians.

Fourthly (and finally), bacon may have finally jumped the shark on the SF episode of No Reservations when Bourdain had a Bacon Latte at Pirate Cat Coffee (I believe that was the name of the joint).

Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

@Jack F: On Zune, I’m back to having to resubscribe every week just to get new episodes of the podcast to show up & sync. I used to have to do that in the beginning, too and it eventually sorted itself out.

I agree with the “taken more seriously” aspect of having a beard. My beard made life so much easier when I was 18-20; I pretty much never got carded. There was a time when I was amused to be mistaken for being older than I was.

I’ve been after Gordon to get rid of his beard ever since he started growing it (I told you this, Paul) but he refuses to listen.

Both the main “original” feed — http://www.paulandstorm.com/feed/ — and the podcast feed — http://www.paulandstorm.com/archives/category/podcast/feed — seem to be just fine, and the feed is valid.

However, the feedburner version, despite several pings, does not include the latest post. Guessing something’s funky w/feedburner, as we’ve made no changes on our end to account for the problems.

Let us know if it clears up.

P&S.

Happy Arbitrarily-Declared-One-Year-Anniversary to you.

Have some Bacon. http://www.neatorama.com/2009/08/19/100-ways-to-use-a-strip-of-bacon/

Oh, and see ya in Cleveland!
