Around Town:

This week on the podcast the YIP Crew have good intentions of staying focused and talking about how awesome Alchemy is (because they totally are), but get caught in a conversation spiral of blogs, t-shirts and cake. Mary recommends some more awesome music, Tammy recommends a bunch of awesome events that the YIP Crew can't afford to go to (le sigh...) and Jack gets slapped on Shimmy Cove!

Have you been waiting for a YIP episode that is lacking any point, information or purpose? Today is your lucky day! The YIP Crew celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day with a supplemental episode that is light on content, heavy on music, and nearly devoid of anything connected to bellydance (although we do manage to sneak one or two things in there, so "Ha HA! We're still on topic, maties!"). Enjoy our piratical ramblings and take time to "Argh!" someone you love today!
