Things Remembered

1) The widget/gadget company my boy works for is Gigya

2) Pandora is indeed awesome though I'm not a fan of Aaron's genre cross blending. That said I got this today:

Join me for a Pandora Get-together in Philadelphia!

Hey, Tim here -

Thanks a ton to all of you who wrote in with suggestions of where to
host the upcoming Pandora meet-up in in Philadelphia . Your thoughts were
extremely helpful and I already feel warmly welcomed.

Having the event at the Painted Bride Art Center was a popular suggestion, so we went with that. Full details below.

Where: Painted Bride Art Center

230 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA(map)
When: Tuesday, September 23rd at 7 PM
RSVP: Reply to this email

This get-together is a free event, open to everyone. It's a chance for me to share the Pandora story and hopefully have a lively discussion with local Pandora listeners (and we'll have some free Pandora swag too!).

Please RSVP by replying to this email.

You're welcome to bring guests, the more the merrier... just let us know.
Angie, who is helping plan this, will make sure we know you're coming.Hope to
see you soon.

-Tim

Might be cool, lemme know if anyone wants to head down. What are your stations btw?

Me:
"I Want to Be a Dentist" (Indie Rock - if you can guess the reference jim will get your by-in next week)
"It's a British Thing" (Self-Ex)
"Pop Tart" (What I consider to be good pop - like cherry and cinnamon flavors)
"Santa Baby Radio" (Holiday)
"Kool Keith Radio" (Underground hip-hop/turntablism/beathead stuff)
"Wubba Wubba Wubba" (Like Down Town Julie Brown & Club MTV - but with less ab shots)
"Ye-ah Boi!" (Kitchen Sink)

3) In their quest to steal from satisfy everyone, part of the new iTunes update was to add "Genious Playlists." (Like I said with all the awesomness of the LHC I didn't have time to digest Jobs' latest nuggets of awesomeness). This I guess works like Pandora on iTunes 8.x - you start with a song and it populates the playlist with similar songs. Must download soon.

4) The email chain: (Listen)

I questioned the validity of the question. Does that get me
anything?

I'm in for cards.

Jim:
Nope 45 minutes left to guess for the free poker buy in. The blog has been posted over 24 hours ago and everyone has had a chance. I'm just really wondering
who reads the blog.

Alan:
Don't have access to the blog. Can you give the trivia question again? ...and if I had access to your amazing blog I know I would read it.

Jim:
Texas Dog Party is all "OUR" amazing blog. We should all have access to contribute to the new blog. Here is what I posted yesterday afternoon. So far I have stumped everyone.

Let's play guess the call sign...

No it's not Howie Mandel and some suitcases. It's Cougar bringing you the first Texas Dog Party contest. I was job hunting today at home. I usually play DVDs while working at home for some background noise. I was playing some DVDs today and came across a call sign.

If you are the first to leave the correct answer in the comments below, then you will win a free by in at tomorrow's Texas Dog Party. You have until 5 PM tomorrow to get the answer right. What movie used the call sign "Mailman"? Deal or no deal bitches.

Comments left in blog: Wrong Zod! You crashed and burned on the first one. Movies don't have call signs. A call sign "Mailman" was used in dialogue and/or a character
name in a movie. Name that movie. Does Texas Dog Party show up if "You're Feeling Lucky"?

Wrong answer. I don't own Sidekicks or any other Chuck Norris DVDs. Buy in I meant as the poker by in tonight. http://texasdogparty.blogspot.com/2008/09/lets-play-guess-call-sign.html

Keith: (editor's note: This is where Jim was excluded from the conversation and it started to become funny)
Jim on his period?

Aaron:
I get it, so Mailman is the code word for when Jim is having his period.

Keith:
"Jim is getting a visit from the mailman this week"

"Has the mailman arrived for Jim yet - its about that time"

"Jim woke up and realized the mailman had come during the night again and he was out of bleach"
