So, we were tagged by both Vivian and Barely, so we may as well do this.  However, in typical Dinkycast style, we're going to do it our own way - 4 facts about Jen, 4 facts about Alan and then not tag anyone because everyone we know has already been tagged.

Jen:

1. I am terrified of heights, however, I love roller coasters.  The bigger the better.  And I love to sit in the front car.

2. Most people consider me to be "smart," however I barely graduated from college and changed my major going into my senior year which caused me to go an extra year.  It was just a really difficult time in my life and I couldn't really get it together.

3. I've only ever owned Dodge or Chrysler automobiles.

4. My favorite movie is "Singin' in the Rain." As a matter of fact, I've never met a musical I didn't like.

Alan:

1. I sing in the shower.  Jen finds it hilarious.

2. I traveled extensively as a child and went to 14 different countries before I was 18.

3. When I was a kid, I rode down my stairs in a toy car and fractured my skull.  Since then, I've had a blonde streak of hair where I injured my head.

4. I graduated from college with 200 credits.  You need 128 to graduate.  I just like round numbers.

When I said I was going to start doing show notes, I meant for the next show.  Yeah, that's it.  On this show we quit a job, do some clean up, start a new job, and bring everyone up to what's going on currently.  There are voicemails, lots of glorious voicemails and a tiny bit of screaming.  Life's hectic, but at least we're never bored.

You don't get show notes, because we didn't have show notes. 

Here's another "fly by the seat of our pants" show before Jen gets to go back to Cleveland for her final week of work.

Next time, we should get back on a regular schedule with show notes and other link-y goodness.

This is our last podcast while we will be living together in Cleveland.  It's a little rough and thrown together, but then again until we move, so are we.  We forgot to thank everyone for their support and good wishes while we're going nutso throwing stuff into boxes.  We're going to take next week of so we can move the big stuff and we'll be back in May - live from Chicago!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Well, it's Alan's turn to be sick - he's got a touch of the flu.  Hopefully, I'll be able to nurse him back to health without getting the bug.  We're going to delay the show, but we'll be back next week.

Hope everyone out there in podcast land is feeling well!

For some reason, the captcha on dinkycast.com was broken, so we couldn't get any comments.  So, I'm going to pull the captcha for now and use moderation until the captcha is fixed or I get tired of moderating the comments, whichever comes first.  Now that it's fixed, however, I expect a flood of comments.  FLOOD, I tell you!

We got so excited about all the voicemails that Barely made us that Alan remixed them into this creative little ditty and stuck them onto the feedback podcast.  Since we're new at this, we figured we would throw it out onto the feed and anyone who wants to change or add to it can do so.  We're releasing it under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 License, so have fun and share nice.

We got a couple of voicemails, so we decided to do a feedback show.

The music at the end of the show is "Little Long Night" by Cleveland's own Fiona Faulk from the Podsafe Music Network.

If you're patient enough to listen to the whole show and the music, you'll hear a special tribute at the end by DJ Alan S.  He worked really hard on it.  (It was an exercise in learning how to use Garageband and it was the first time he's ever done anything like that.)
