Hey Earwolf! To make this about me from the get-go, here is a list of things that I like:

-Earwolf (kind of a given)
-Cake (who doesn’t?)
-Making friends (awwwww!)

It stands to reason that I should like making friends with Earwolf listeners! And add cake to the mix and it is sweeter than fondant on top of buttercream (which I believe is called “dirty icing” (yeah, yeah, I watch cake shows)).

Enter SUMMER!

Summer is a lawyer by day and a cake decorator by night. Okay, that’s wildly inaccurate, but if I want my script based on her life to see the light of day I’ve gotta make it snappy. She’s an attorney who just got started in the exciting world of cake decorating and she made the delicacy below on behalf of Earwolf’s one-year anniversary!

YUMMERZ TO THE INFINITY POWER, AMIRITE? I mean…that looks like a lovely and well crafted cake. Because Summer and I are only internet friends and live far, far away from each other I couldn’t enjoy a celebratory slice. I’m sure it is great though. How could something so awesome possibly taste anything less than great?

So, thank you, Summer! I would say that Buddy “The Cake Boss” Valestro would be pleased, but I think in reality he’d probably be embarrassed that he hasn’t made anything as great (also, he can use his second sight to see that you will be far more successful than he could ever be). And hey other listeners with special skills: Step it up! Make us somethin’ neat we can be proud of! Put it up in the forum, why doncha? Let’s all try to be a little more like Summer! You a shoe maker? Make some Earwolf shoes! You an architect? Make an Earwolf building! It’s not that hard!

Thanks again Summer. The Wolf Dead.

It’s almost 2am and I’m pretty beat.  Today was spent talking to an independant sales rep, thinking long and hard about a potential partnership opportunity, scheduling meetings for the rest of the week and working on v2 of this website.  Right now I’m reviewing a proposal that will be discussed tomorrow night during a weekly dinner with Scott, preparing for a call with a potential host of a new show early in the morning and prepping for my Wolf Den recording on Wednesday with PFT.

I decided to stop what I was doing to write a little something.  It’s easy to get so self-absorbed and voluntarily busy that you forget why you do what you do.  So I just wanted to remind myself and express my gratitude to everyone who goes out of their way to listen to what is recorded in our studio every week.  Whether you buy every download, comment on each Facebook update or merely smile occasionally while riding the el train to work…thank you.  I love having a reason to stay up so late trying to make things better.
