The Wild World of Video for 4/9/14

Posted on April 9, 2014 by

It’s my birthday week, so I’m taking the day off. Rest assured: I’ll be back next week with a new episode of New Satellite Show. The following week depends on how WonderCon goes. Maybe I’ll have an outtake or something.

Maybe I’ll one day sell Bulleit Bourbon with the same Welles Excellence.
