With the holidays approaching and things getting more hectic than usual this year -- which really shouldn't be the case -- I've decided to make this show my last show for 2005.

Have no fear, though, because Dave's Lounge is always open, and I plan to hit the ground running the first week of 2006. That includes hanging out at Podcastercon in Chapel Hill, NC, on Saturday, January 7. So if you're coming to town that weekend, drop me a line. We'll hang out and talk about podsafe music and other fun stuff.

In the meantime, take a minute to befriend me on Myspace, because all the kids are doing it these days. Heh.

May all of you have a very happy holiday season, and may the best thing that happened to you in 2005 be the worst thing that happens to you in 2006. See y'all again soon!
