Greetings and Happy Christmas Listeners,

Welcome to our first annual Christmas party, held both on-line and in the Cold Crank Studio in Cleveland, Ohio. At one point in time during this three and a half hour live stream almost every member of the staff was able to join us.

The party thought started rather impromptu when some of us locally got together to do some Christmas IDs for the stream. Then Cleta got busy at geekshed and got in touch with a few of the other regulars. Regrettably we did not manage to contact everyone due to the impromptu nature of it. So if you didn’t get and invite, don’t be offended, that is just the way it worked out this time.

Such is and so be it, next year, I will actually schedule a date and send out invites. Make sure you get on our mailing list so that you can be kept in the loop for this and other future events. 2012 may be the end according to the Mayans but it is just the beginning for us. Join us for the party, Christmas music and Indie Soup. We shall caution you now, not all of the material is safe for work. Join Georgie, Meshelly, Caleb, Cleta, OmniDragon, Lumpy, Boz, Knowles217 and Rob Branch and listen in.
