| In the Zone |
| Posted by John - 07-4-08 00:33 - 2 comments |
Right now it feels like when I was a kid. I found a Twilight Zone marathon on the Sci-Fi Channel, and it is totally bringing me back to the days in the early 80's when I'd sit and watch late night re-runs of it and Alfred Hitchcock Mysteries on the crappy 13" black and white TV my parents would let me bring in my room sometimes. The one with the aluminum foil hanging off the rabbit ears so that it would pick up a better signal. And the pliers you needed to change the channel because the knob broke off. I ordered a pizza, turned off the lights, and I'm laying on the floor in front of the TV with blankets and Kool-Aid watching Twilight Zone. God I love it when I can travel back in time, even if it's for a short time. I cherish these moments. What brings you back to your childhood?

| June is Accordion Awareness Month |
| Posted by Gina - 06-10-08 23:02 - 21 comments |
June is National Accordion Awareness Month. National Accordion Awareness Month was established in 1989 to promote the accordion, help spread the word about the resurgence in popularity in the accordion and to educate people about the accordion. WOW! It's been 13 years! Did you know... * The piano accordion is the official musical instrument of the city of San Francisco and has been since 1990. This year is the 12th anniversary! * Actress Lucy Liu plays the accordion * The accordion is a member of the reed family, not the keyboard family. * The first United States-made piano accordion (the ones with the keys on it) was manufactured in San Francisco back in 1907. It was at the Guerrini Accordion Company on DuPont St. (Grant Ave., near Columbus Ave.) * When people think of an accordion, they usually envision that large, black monstrosity with piano keys on one side and about a thousand buttons on the other side. However, the accordion family also includes Cajun button boxes, chromatic and diatonic button accordions, the concertina, the bayan, and the bandoneon. * Isn't the accordion just being used at weddings and Bar Mitzvahs? Heck no! Shania Twain's immensely popular Come On Over CD has accordion on a couple of tracks. Los Lobos. Bruce Hornsby plays the accordion and uses it in shows. Counting Crows use accordion a lot. Here in San Francisco, the show Forever Tango was a huge hit and featured two bandoneonists. * China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of accordions in the world. * Each June RootsWorld puts on an online free-reed music festival featuring accordion music from all over the world. To help celebrate, there will be a special "Day of the Accordion" in San Francisco. This fun-filled Fathers' Day event is scheduled for Sunday, June 16 from Noon-5:00 p.m. at the historic Cannery at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. Lots of music and lots of fun. Best of all, it's free! For more information about National Accordion Awareness Month, please call us at 415 440-0800 or visit online at www.ladyofspain.com (Taken from http://www.accordionusa.com/ar_06_02.htm#13)

| Show delay |
| Posted by John - 06-9-08 22:31 - 1 comments |
This week's show will be a couple days late, folks. As most of you know, I was out of town until late Saturday night. I didn't have the time I thought I'd have on Sunday (and today) to get the show edited. Look for it by Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. It's a Craig's List show.  Then that should be the end of the show delays.  Thanks to those of you who have left voicemails for us! We'll be including them in the show we record Wednesday night (to be released next Monday). If you'd like to leave one for us to include in the next show, give us a call on the voicemail line: 206-426-4026!

This is the show we recorded and didn't have a chance to get released last week, so those of you who have left voicemails, they will be played on our next show.  This week: How have we change when we get older, the difference between recreational sex and mature sex with multiple partners, cutting loose friends who are detrimental to our well being, how does our idea of luxury change as we get older?

| Week off! |
| Posted by John - 05-26-08 09:06 - 11 comments |
Hey there, folks!
We won't be releasing a show this week. I had some family issues arise that needed to take priority, so the show needed to take a back seat.
We'll be back next week! I hope everyone in the U.S. is enjoying their long Holiday weekend.
See ya on the boards!

| BiDENTIFICATION Bingo |
| Posted by Gina - 05-6-08 21:30 - 13 comments |
It's Bidentification Bingo Time!! As John and I talked about on Show 29, we are proud to announce the beginning of BiDENTIFICATION Bingo!!! It's simple to play. Email us at bidentification@gmail.com and let us know you would like to play, and we will email you your VERY own free BiDENTIFICATION Bingo Card for the month of May. We will begin with Game #1. When Game #1 ends, all the numbers are discarded and Game #2 begins. Each card is good for a whole month, but you must clear the card every time we begin a new game. We keep playing each game until someone wins. To win, you must announce "BINGO!" in the "Official Bingo Thread" we will start on May 15th, as well as prove that you are our winner- a digital picture of the card would work. The prizes that will be given away will vary- John and I also decided the first prize we'd like to give away is a BiDENTIFICATION t-shirt. John or I will arbitrarily pick numbers every day and post them to the upcoming "Official Bingo Thread". The game will officially start on May 15th, 2008. All rules are arbitrary and capricious and are subject to change. So everyone get ready, and let's play! You can email us at bidentification@gmail.com for your own shiny BiD Bingo card.

| The Picture Project |
| Posted by John - 05-4-08 13:15 - 19 comments |
One of the things Gina and I discussed doing with the gallery was creating an interactive "Wall" of images based on different themes: Love, Happiness, Childhood, Peace, and so on. A place where people could submit images based on these particular themes; images that best reflected those words and themes for them. We thought it would be a fun way to get people thinking about how they could express a thought without words, but in a visual way, and how interesting it would be to see the results. How will different people see a specific word or thought expressed visually. Well, today we're starting The Picture Project that you can find within the BiDENTIFICATION Gallery. Each week a new gallery will be created with a new theme and challenge. Keep yourself within the boundaries created for each challenge, that's part of the fun. This week we kick off The Picture Project with the first challenge: SEXY. What is 'sexy' to you? What does 'sexy' mean? If you had to explain it using a photograph, what would that photograph be? The challenge will be to post images that show your idea of 'sexy' without including nudity (bare backsides and male chests, excluded). Hey, it's a challenge so we need to set some limitations. Those types of images will be allowed in some future challenges. Post as many images as you'd like. And as you're looking through all the submissions, don't forget to rate them! If the images are not yours, please give proper credit by including a photographer's name or link to the site the image was found. I've kicked it off by posting 5 images that represent 'sexy' to me. I'll be posting more after some more of you have started participating. Let's have fun with this! I think this could be a really fun addition to the site.

| Earth Day |
| Posted by John - 04-22-08 00:37 - 5 comments |
What are you going to do today? Each year, the April 22 Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Among other things, 1970 in the United States brought with it the Kent State shootings, the advent of fiber optics, "Bridge over Troubled Water," Apollo 13, the Beatles' last album, the death of Jimi Hendrix, and the meltdown of fuel rods in the Savannah River nuclear plant near Aiken, South Carolina -- an incident not acknowledged for 18 years. At the time, Americans were slurping leaded gas through massive V8 sedans. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of legal consequences or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. Environment was a word that appeared more often in spelling bees than on the evening news. But Earth Day 1970 turned that all around.[Continue reading at Wikipedia.]

| BiD #026: "I'm sorry, I wrecked your rectum." |
| Posted by John - 04-14-08 20:35 - 8 comments |
On this week's show: Some technical difficulties with the first recording, so this one was done very last minute late last night (early this morning), so this is as close as our show will ever get to being "unedited". The audio levels are a bit off because we weren't using our regular set-up; Gina was recording using her built in Mac microphone. We discuss the winners of the "Pick John's Sex Toy" submission contest, Gina's trip to the local adult store, and a bit about the site and what direction we would like to see it heading in.

| Show #26, and a couple other things. |
| Posted by John - 04-14-08 13:41 - 6 comments |
We're having some issues with Show#26, but we will have the MP3 version released by this evening, with the enhanced file by tomorrow. The original recordings were not usable, so Gina and I, in an attempt to get something released today, made a new recording late last night. It's just taking me a bit of time to get it put together. I've had some running around to do today. It's tax time in the U.S. In the next day, or so, iTunes will be listing both the MP3 and Enhanced feeds for the show. Here is a direct link to the new Enhanced feed until it officially appears in their directory. Currently only shows 17, 18, 20, and 24 - Current (25, and 26 tomorrow) are available as Enhanced podcasts. Gina and I will be adding all the earlier shows in the new few weeks so that both feeds are complete. There is also a link to all the BiD feeds (MP3, Enhanced Podcast, and Blog) on the homepage of the site in the left column. I'll be adding a feed for the forum this week, as well. J
