Once again, our Halloween Super-Fun Pack is available, just in time for the season! (Okay, truth told, it’s always been available; we just moved it back to the top of the Songs page to capitalize on all the “Halloween Fever”)
The sixty-twond episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online.
This week’s episode: An embarrassment of “wait…what?” riches, we record our first multi-guest podcast, with Jonathan Coulton, Bill Stiteler, and @birdchick. In Neil Gaiman’s house. Specifically, in his sauna. And the participants are varying levels of tipsy/drunk. Can any good possibly come of this, folks? Answer: probably not. (NOTE: For the record, everyone was wearing bathing suits) (ALSO NOTE: Apologies for the obnoxious sound quality)
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ALERT: What’s the dumbest thing you’ve done while drunk? Also, in what pursuit(s) are you a true “amateur?”

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ALERT: Suggest a name for us other than “Paul and Storm,” and Paul will decide if any of the suggestions aren’t stupid. Also, go harrass @Jasonfinn on Twitter.

Next: as we recently announced on Twitter, our show in Chicago next week (October 10 @ Park West) will now also be a Flood show. What is a “Flood” show, you ask? You can read Jonathan’s announcement for full details, but the quick version is this: geek icon band They Might Be Giants is performing in Chicago the same night we are, and they are performing their album Floodin its entirety. And now, we’re going to do the same thing. Why? Because it’s there. So now, we’ll be performing somewhat truncated sets of our own music, we’ll take a break, and then do all 19 tracks from Flood. Heck, we’ve got a whole week to learn them all, and we already know one; no sweat, right?
Finally, here’s a few other cool things we’ve been meaning to mention for a while:
