And what in the heck is a Peruvian Thigh Trap, anyway?

Hi there, fellow astronauts!

Many apologies, but this past weekend turned out to be a complete wash for me, so I have to postpone the podcast until next weekend. I've gotten so many art gigs that, because I was unable to wrap up the editing for "Jurassic Despicable, Pt. 2" Sunday, I need to step away from it and get to the paying gigs this week. Don't fret, fellow astronauts - I will have the next podcast up next weekend.
