This is a test, but I promise I'll come back here soon
While you're waiting for me to do some more stuff here, you can find more of me at http://brewmaniacs.com/ , http://beerkc.blogspot.com/, and http://lockerpartner.com/. I'm basically everywhere on the map. But I won't forget where I started.
Update 1: first time it didn't work. . . let's see if this does it. . .
Update 2: ok second time still had some kinks. Maybe this will change things. . .
Update 3: this is getting frustrating
Update 4: The third update was a success!

Listen to the sound of my voice
Recently, I appeared as a "special guest" on a podcast over at OnTapKC, with my friends Corey and Beau. This is sort of ties in with Stone Week, as new beers coming to the KCMO area are discussed (albeit somewhat obliquely at times, we hit nearly ever tangent we can, including a brief time talking about the beer Lent guy). Below is a link to part 1, cleverly titled Abbey Road - Side A (it'll make sense if you read the description, I swear). Give it a listen (fair warning: bad words are said, many times, and there are adult situations), as I prepare myself mentally and physically for the marathon that will be the next few days as Stone takes over the city.
