Podcastathon 49: Wrapping up, some final shout-outs and you-rules for all our sponsors and supporters.
You certainly have done enough. Good job, and get some sleep.
MAZEL TOV!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! You did a great job! And you were funny for 24 hoours!!! Amazing. I always knew you had it in you. Plenty of practice till last call at Cascade….
I give up! You win!
You two should be proud. It was a big effort but you did a fantastic job. It was nice to see the whole Hucklebug community come together to support you also.
Did Lassie ever get Capt’n A out of the well?
Just listened to the last one. Way to go, ladies. Hope you are enjoying your well-deserved sleep.
Bet, I haven’t been on email for about a week, so I didn’t know anything about your podcast till almost 9:30 pm Sunday night. I’m so pissed I missed it!!! What a great thing and I hope you had a great time. I’ll pledge 25.00.

I dropped this under episode #64 too, but I thought I’d put it here just in case you missed it:
Ladies, first of all I apologize for completely missing out on all the Podcastathon action. This time of August is inevitably a terrible (and I do mean terrible) time for me, one which I tend to just dig a hole, do my work and my homework, and stay fairly incommunicado. So when I came out of my hole and saw my shadow, one of the first things I did was check up on Status Hucklebug. It was a great, and worthy, and no doubt exhausting project, and I’m so glad to see it went well.
MEPPS! I just lost a long comment I wrote about how much I have come to love your podcast. All that extemporaneous praise now mere particles in the aftermath of some sort of annoying e-fart.
Anyhow, the gist of it was, I never had much expectation that anyone would pay attention to my blog from the outset, so to hear you both talking about me and it on your show was a uniquely giddy thrill for me. It’s one thing to imagine others reading what you’ve written, but quite another to hear them talking about it! And this is as good a time as any to tell you (this is the part that got lost) about how much I appreciate your show. For me it’s like being dropped into a room where you can eavesdrop with impunity (because that’s kind of what the show is designed to feel like) and take as much delight in the conversation, which you two clearly enjoy, as you do in the stuff that’s left in the margins, just outside the lines, stuff you’d have to listen to a fe more episodes to MAYBE understand. This quality is why I like Altman films, and I’m enjoying the Hucklebug in much the same manner. Plus you two are naturally funny together, with at times magical timing. And has anybody ever told you, Stennie, how much you sound like Jodie Foster? (Pardon me if this is a more routine comment than I’m imagining it will be.)
Okay,a couple movie recommends and then I’m out:
HAIRSPRAY http://tinyurl.com/299o82
I’m not kidding. I thought it would be a disaster, and it’s anything but.
Jean Luc-Godard’s PIERROT LE FOU, currently in limited city-by-city re-release. If I’d seen this movie when I was 19, it would have been a life-changing experience. As it stands, at 47, I’m willing to settle for a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
THE SIMPSONS MOVIE: It ain’t no South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, but it’s very, very funny.
ACE IN THE HOLE: Brutal 1951 Billy Wilder follow-up to Sunset Boulevard seemed, to many at the time, too acid and cynical. Now, like Network some 25 years later, we as a society seem to really have grown into it…
HOLY SHIT! Now that I’ve completely retyped my original comment, the ORIGINAL COMMENT just now, I swear, reappeared right underneath my cursor. You bastard. Of course I will post it as well… Have a great week, Bet and Stennie.
(ORIGINAL COMMENT THAT I THOUGHT HAD BEEN DELETED FOLLOWS):
And I realize I never properly thanked you for the extra-keen shout-out in episode #62. I am here to tell you, I started my blog three years ago in a bubble of very low readership expectations, and now, while it doesn’t exactly have the circulation of The New York Times, it’s still odd for me to think that people are out there reading it and apparently enjoying it. But to HEAR jovial folks like you discussing it was a specially giddy kind of thrill, and I truly appreciate being mentioned on your show. (I was getting a kick out of imagining Stennie jumping up and down. First time I’ve ever gotten THAT reaction!)
As for the show, in just two short episodes it’s become my favorite thing to listen to while doing the occasional mindless bits of work I have to do here in the office. My job is based in sound, so I generally can’t listen to anything while I’m doing it. But occasionally I have to reconfigure files or do some other e-shuffling, and this is the perfect time to dial up some Hucklebug. I’ve always gotten a kick out of listening to conversations like the ones you guys have, where I feel like I’m an outsider, yet I understand enough to keep me engaged. (There aren’t so many in-refernces that I feel shut out, or that I couldn’t become familiar with after an episode or two more of listening in.) It’s like eavesdropping in a place where you’re welcome. (I love movies like this too, where you kjnow there’s important stuff on the sidelines or outside the margins, but you have to work to find it or draw conclusions without it—this is why I like Altman.) And I really enjoy the pleasure you two take in each other’s company. That’s something that can’t be faked. I look forward to many more episodes!
Dennis—
Hahahaha. Nope. No one has ever told Stennie she sounds like Jodie Foster. Never ever ever. Okay, maybe that one time….
Oh, shit. Why do I get the feeling my shout-out will soon be recycled into a fuck off?
I’m FINALLY getting to listen to the last full episode of HB you guys did along with the entire podcastathon. I’m not even half way through and I’m enjoying it. Also, I was so happy to hear you guys play together!! That was awesome! Sten, I think you should totally make that available as a download on the HB site! Seriously, that was great. I’m so bummed I couldn’t participate more. The TV themes thing is SO up my alley!! ARG! You guys definitely did very well, though. I kind of wish you did this kind of thing more often—maybe not 24 hours for your sakes, though
All right, back to podcastathon 17 with special guest Hucklebugger, Dishie!!
Do you guys have a donation link for the American Cancer Society? I never pledged and I have yet to donate—and I won’t very soon because I’m out of work. 🙁 But if you could post a link, I’ll be sure to donate as soon as I get a steady temp gig.
