The Rhetorical Situation, March 19, 2010

On the final Rhetorical Situation of the term, Jacob and I discuss our spring break plans (hint: Brazilian waxes, kiddie pools, tequila), rant about the Gazette Times, and play a whole bunch of songs that mostly have nothing to do with spring break.

We may have a show on Friday during spring break, but we may not. We will have a different show time beginning the week of March 29, but I'm not sure about the day or time yet. Stay tuned. So you can stay tuned. Live at KBVR.com. Thanks for listening.
