Well I hope you guys were expecting this one to be late.  Everyone just left town on Monday, so Tuesday was editing time!  So here it is... InDisFest!!! I'm not going to go into all the details about this one... this episode is full of craziness and fun times.  It's really long... our longest I believe, but it's worth every minute of it. I'm going to use the words of M.C. Wilson for this, but this was the result of a weekend with friends "submerged in a tank full of awesome."  So thanks to everyone who was there and I hope those of you that weren't there, and didn't catch the 5 1/2 hour stream, enjoy this slightly shorter version.

PLEASE READ THIS EDITOR'S NOTE: Hey guys... I just wanted to let you all know that this episode was really rough.  As Jason says at the beginning of the show, he was having some PC trouble, so I don't know if that was the cause of all of our issues this week or not, but Geoff was cutting out during recording a lot, so when you hear him say "you guys can't hear me again right?" that's why. Also, our audio tracks did not even close to line up, so if things sound like they are off timing wise, I'm sorry.  I did the best I could but after 14+ hours of editing, I was done with it.  I think I got everything worked out, but if not, I hope that you can excuse any issues with the audio quality this week. Thank you! --Chris We're a bit long again this week.  Seems to be a going trend lately.
