Hi, this is Alonzo Bowden, and this is episode 130 of my podcast, who's paying attention?

I don't know if 130 is a milestone, but it's pretty good. It's a good run. So thanks for listening.

I appreciate it. I am in Raleigh,

North Carolina. I'm working at a great club called Good Nights this weekend. I have to say

Raleigh is one of those cities that, you know, it's just a beautiful city. It's big, but not

too big. The weather's beautiful. It's about 65, 68 degrees outside.

You know, this is just a great city.

One of those great quality of life cities.

Major universities here, North Carolina, North Carolina State, and Duke are right here in what they call a research triangle, which gives a city

brilliance and diversity and just everything you'd want. This is pretty cool. If I had to be in the

South, Raleigh ain't a bad place to be. And I have to tell you right now, I just looked at how

I'm recording my podcast. So I'm cooked up to my MacBook Air. That's what I

record on. And I'm reading stories off my new giant iPad. And I really feel like I should be

sitting at a Starbucks. Shouldn't I? You've seen this at Starbucks. When people come in, buy one

cup of coffee, set up the office and sit there all day. Hell, I've seen this at Starbucks when people come in, buy one cup of coffee, set up the office,

and sit there all day.

Hell, I've seen people literally doing job interviews at Starbucks.

So I guess I should find one and record the podcast there.

Be a little bit of background noise, but I'd be fitting in.

All right, that's enough of that.

Let me get into it.

And, and, you know, this is, this is one of those deals that I have to talk about it.
