Not only is the Canadian dollar growing stronger by the week, but the Friends of the LiLV Podcast page has grown by 3.57% with the addition of fellow podcasters Tim and Nanette.  Welcome to the page, eh?

(I wonder if they’ll be joining us for our Halloween MeetUp?)

Okay okay. . .good thing you don’t have to be smart to run your own business.  The photo said Canada which threw me. . .truth is, Tim and Nanette are from Atlanta, GA. 

That uses up yesterday’s mistake quota.  Now, on to today!!!

60: Partying with Our Listeners at the First-Annual (monthly?) LiLV Listener Meetup

September 14, 2008

After finally having plenty of time to both physically recover and review and delete any discriminating photos/video/audio, today’s extended Living in Las Vegas Podcast looks back at the first-ever LiLV Listener Meetup, which took place at Trader Vic’s last month.  Show Notes (ADULT LANGUAGE):

I think it’s safe to say that the LiLV Podcast appeals to a wide range of people–demographically, geographically, and now, chronologically.  Our latest “Friend” of the LiLV Podcast looks pretty young. . .but Anne from Utah tells us that this photo is not quite as recent as the others on the page.  Regardless, welcome aboard Anne (who has been a long-time listener)!

If Melissa and I ever decide on some more international travel, I think we’ve added another place where we could stay.  Joel from Israel has been added as a new “Friend” of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast.  Welcome, Joel!

MeetUp

The first ever Living in Las Vegas Listener Meet Up was a GREAT SUCCESS!!  As I walked out to Trader Vic’s outside patio, I was immediately greeted by Tim and Nanette (from the For Whatever Reason Podcast).  A few minutes later, David and Alicia (local LVers) joined us and there seemed to be a steady flow of folks joining us for drinks, laughs and storytelling. 

MeetUP2 We’ll talk more about the meetup on the next podcast (lots of audio clips and video, though the video might not make it on the site) but to put a fine point on how much fun we had. . .all the Las Vegas locals hung around until late in the evening (midnight, I think). . .at which point we decided to EXTEND the party to today!  Rich, Cheryl, David, Alicia, Don and Jan will be joining Melissa and me at the Whitney Villa for more fun!

August 12, 2008

42: Partying with our Listeners is Fantastic!

April 22, 2007

There is no question that one of the perks of doing the show is the chance to talk with, and some times, meet the listeners of our show. For this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we recount the fun we had with Mark, Lane, Neil and Sarah and spend some time listening to what it’s like to be drunk when calling our listener line.
