The Denims

This is the recording of the live show I did as a participant in the first-ever "Pride 48" celebration. I had a blast doing my first live show, and I hope to do more in the future. Thanks again to Adam and Matty of "The Adam and Matty Show" and Daniel Brewer of "Dubious Intent" for coming up with the concept and seeing it through to completion.

Michael and I get opinionated about the Top 16 week.

We don't always agree on what we liked and didn't like, but we always have fun discussing our favorite reality program.

We would also like for everybody to give us feedback and comments.

Thanks for listening!

I attended the first ever Saginaw Valley LGBT & Allies Pride Awards Banquet, which was a blast! Congratulations to listeners Jim K and Rev. Rebecca for being honored for their contributions to the GLBT community in the Saginaw Valley area!

Due to some issues in both our lives, we were unable to record until after the results were announced, so we will instead discuss the highlights of the performances, our opinions of the results, Michael's intense love of Brian Friedman, and a few other things.Thanks to MJ's Big Blog for coming to my rescue when my recorder missed the performance show!

I'm in a better mood this week, although quite tired from work and a few other challenging situations. I talk about how great it is when podsafe musicians keep in touch, and debut a new artist. And, of course, I talk about the healthcare debate and how important it really is.

In this first of many updates, Michael and I critique the dancers, the costumes, Cat's horrible dress, Mary's screams, and so much more. The Hot Tamale Train has left the station!

As has been previously (and frequently) announced, the So You Think You Can Dance Update is new and improved for Season 5.Professional photographer, former dancer and choreographer Michael Sage will lend his experience and expertise to take this show to the next level.In this episode, Michael introduces himself to the rest of the world, and we discuss at length the auditions, the judges, and the Top 20.I'm looking forward to working with Michael as we count down the weeks until America crowns its next "Most Favorite Dancer."

After 39 years of crawling on hands and knees, I'm finally standing up for myself and getting it all off my chest.

My thoughts turn to three events which will shape the immediate and long-term history of the judicial system in the US. My take on President Obama's appointment of Judge Sonia Sotomayer to the United States Supreme Court. Two men who were on opposite sides of Bush v. Gore are now on the same side and challenging California's Prop. 8 in federal court. Michigan Equality has started a petition drive to repeal our own anti-gay marriage amendment, possibly during the 2012 election.

EL84 is now known as "The MSU Orchestra," which means that the Outro is "new and improved" My recent trip to the cottage, which featured an unexpected reunion. Attending a funeral leads to some more unexpected good things. GM's bondholders unexpectedly approve a compromise, potentially saving GM from bankruptcy. When least expected, good things can come from less than desirable situations!
