Mark & Wes at Europa in Orinda, CA. We ran out of 9 volt batteries for the EQ that the lapel microphones use. So, we used the wider stereo Sony mic that picks up background noise a lot. Fortunately for us, Europa has a somewhat quiet atmosphere. The food was very good, and Mark and I discovered a special podcasting section of the restaurant that we'll have to take advantage of next time.

Mark & Wes at Brothers BBQ in San Francisco. (WNO FlashBack to 2006)Two years ago seems like an eon when it comes to technology. Before posting this show, I was surprised by my dependence on my Pocket PC at the time mark and I made this show. Since then, my PPC has died, and I have yet to find a battery replacement for it. I've moved on to use an iTouch, although the SDK has only just been released and there are no legit applications for it yet.Sites of Interest:http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=21375592 - Brother's Barbecue.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile - Windows Mobile OS.http://www.handango.com/home.jsp?siteId=1 - Get your Mobile Software Here.http://www.avenueq.com/ - Avenue Q.Manzel's CD Remix and Remaster link on Amazon

Mark & Wes & Troy in Emeryville. (WNO FlashBack to 2005)This is a show created awhile ago when we were experimenting with podcasting and audio editing.

I think the topic of this show was labeled, Fluorescent Pigs.
