Hey everyone! Just got back from taping. It went pretty well. I wore a blue suit (blue shirt, dark tie) and while I don't think I knocked it out of the park, I certainly did alright.

It was an 8 minute segment and I was on a panel with two guys significantly older than myself, a college prof. and a local comedian, both frequent guests on the program.

Right before we went on they told us to keep it light and fun, which we did more or less.

I got a plug from the announcer at the beginning and, I can't remember, but I think I worked in another mention later on. They said the URL would be on the screen with my name during my introduction.

My main goal was to get invited back. I see a lot of the same faces again and again....and a friend of mine is a producer there, which is how I got the call. So while I could have probably been wittier (though I think I did alright) I'm pleased with how it turned out and I made some contacts.

Now it'll be interesting to see the impact of going on the show on our site traffic, if any.
