Apropos of Nothing Podcast

This week, James was in a show (and it went weird), Salsa was in a show (and it went weird), and Jena watched a show. It did not go weird.

This week, Jena returns! We all know that she's going to be discussing the details of her surgery, so I'm just gonna slap a big ol' Content Warning on this, just to cover all of our bases. We are recording remotely as well, so apologies for the audio quality.

This week we are joined by Rah-buh-buh, and it's that time of year again! The time where almost everything we talk about is Fest related, so buckle up Aproposse!

This week we are joined by Dan, the owner of Spirited Endeavors, a company which offers events and education of scotch and other spirits. This was a huge amount of fun, and this could easily have gone on for 4 or 5 hours if we let it. https://www.spiritedendeavors.com/

This week: Salsa was in Canada, James was at a LAN party, and Jena did not drink any coffee.

This week: Salsa plays a piano, James plays a board game, and Jena talks to a stranger. And here's the link to the booze-event business Salsa was talking about: https://www.spiritedendeavors.com/

This week, Jena saw “Endometriosis: The Musical” (no, really, that's a thing). We also have a new sponsor! (Try to spot our subtle ad.)

This week, James and Jena have a great time at CONvergence. Salsa does not have a great time, and it's not necessarily because he wasn't at CONvergence (but it is quite the coincidence, isn't it?)

Hey, remember that time that Salsa wasn't on the podcast for, like, two weeks because he was on vacation? Well, you will after this, because that's what pretty much this whole episode is about. There's landscapes and RV damage, and Salsa levels up his dad-mode.

This week! Salsa is back, Jena hurt her back, and James is an affront. We are joined by special guest Steve!

This week, we are joined by longtime friend of the show, Porter! There are shenanigans, hockey talk, discussions of barbeque, and James' RV toilet. The conversation… had range.

This week, we apologize for the audio quality. Salsa got a new laptop, and he's still trying to figure out the audio settings. None of us are pretending that this is our wheelhouse. Please be patient with us. We discuss balloon fencing and full moons.

This week: Salsa went to the opera, Jena saw some plays, and James was in a basement.

This week: Salsa was in a show, Jena saw a show, and James was in an RV.

This week: Waffles and the Circus (which I have just now decided is the name of my memoirs).

This week, we discuss car trouble and Medieval feasts. Like, separately. There were no cars in Medieval times. I mean, I don't *think* so…

This week we discuss firearms, conspiracy theories, and plumbing.

This week, we discuss projects that we'd like to accomplish, if time and money was not an obstacle.

This week we are recording remotely again. We blame James. But then we talk about pie and a uterus (not at the same time).

This week, we discuss owls, improvised rom-coms, and toilet repairs.

This week, we discuss writing, emergency dental appointments, and tacos. Links!https://www.tchorrorfestival.com/apply.htmlhttp://vilten.net/

This week, James is fighting a really nasty bug, Jena went to the theater, and Salsa was on TV. Here's the link: https://kstp.com/special-coverage/minnesota-live/sword-swallower/

This week, James is replaced by Rah-buh-buh. Not, like, permanently. Sorry if we got your hopes up there.

This week, Salsa was at his daughter's hockey tournament, Jena was at a Monster Science show, and James was at a pun slam. This is not a repeat of EVERY EPISODE EVER. God, we're predictable.

This week, Jena continues her saga of lady-parts problems, James saw a play, and Salsa's daughter played some hockey.

This week, we discuss some retro music machinery.

This week, we have a jolly good chat about theater and dragons, and follow that up with a giant ***CONTENT WARNING***. Our middle segment contains graphic descriptions of a medical nature, including abnormal menstruation. We really are not joking when we say: If you are even a bit squeamish, at the first intermission skip ahead to the 1:25:00 timestamp.

This week, we discuss our varied and sometimes unorthodox paths through the American Education system.

This week, we discuss our New Year's Eve celebrations, and then we hit the gym (which is a complete coincidence, not some New Year's Resolution thing).

This week's episode is a day late. I may have been too busy ringing in the New Year to work on the show. I do not have the words to describe just how non-existent my guilt is about that. Happy New Year, Aproposse. Thank you for listening.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, except for Salsa (and not just because he's a night owl). He's done with all the stockings and presents and whatnot, and is now working to get our present to YOU, our dear Aproposse. And what present is that, you may ask? Why, a new episode! Here it is! And check out these sweet cocktails Jena made.

Shorter episode this week. It's close to the holidays. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Speaking of which, if you haven't already signed up for the Steam Secret Santa (and you want to), you should do that. Like, right now. Like… NOW now.

This week, James has better things to do, apparently, so we have to replace him with Steve!

It's Salsa's birthday, so all our hosts went to a hockey game to celebrate. We then drink a cocktail called a birthday cake, and it's seriously ridiculous. Just look at it! Links!https://www.facebook.com/events/1599351494330074/1599351507663406/

This week, we discuss our plans for the Thanksgiving holiday. And then there are LINKS for VilTen.net and I'll Be Home for Kahless: The Hallmark Parody of the Season!

This week, Jena saw some movies, James saw some movies, and Salsa may have seen some movies but he doesn't mention it so it's hard to say. Links!https://www.givemn.org/story/Tchfbipocfund

This week, Salsa injured himself, Jena injured herself, and James miraculously remained unscathed, despite experiencing the most hazardous weekend. Links!https://wjon.com/klingons-to-the-rescue-in-new-holiday-musical/

You read that right. Seven hundred episodes. Holy shnikeys! We celebrate this milestone by discussing the Horror Festival and other Halloween-related topics. Links!https://wjon.com/klingons-to-the-rescue-in-new-holiday-musical/

This week, Jena is busy with the Twin Cities Horror Festival, so we have guest Jhax. Who is in the Horror Festival. So we talk about that, even though Jena's not there. It's like… something we can't escape, no matter how hard we try. Because it's right… behind… you! Links!http://vilten.net/https://www.tchorrorfestival.com/

This week, we discuss the upcoming Twin Cities Horror Festival! It's coming soon! It's right behind you! So, you should really get your tickets now. (If you CAN! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!) Seriously, though, tickets are going fast, you should hurry. Links!https://www.tchorrorfestival.com/tchf-xiii.html

This week, Salsa (and I know this will shock you) was at a Renaissance Faire, James did some home maintenance, and we're gonna go ahead and throw a Content Warning in here as well because Jena's story is candid about medical procedures and lady bits.

This week marks the end of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival 2024 season. Guess what we talk about. Go on, guess. Links!https://parkconnection.org/events/2024/10/12/motm

This week, we are joined by Special Guest Raederle, who did something pretty damn awesome this last weekend. What could it be!? Thankfully, we answer that question within.

This week, Salsa's voice is pretty worn out, so while James and Jena talk about Fest, Salsa merely rasps about it. Links!https://facebook.com/events/s/fright-night-festival-fundrais/2294763607530254/https://www.32auctions.com/TCHFright

This week, we try to discuss things that did NOT happen at Fest. It doesn't last *too* long.

It's a new episode, and you'll never guess what we discuss! (Unless you said “the Minnesota Renaissance Festival”, that is. Which you probably did. I may have oversold the level of difficulty here.)

This week, we do NOT talk about the Minnesota Renaissance Festival… for the first five minutes or so. After that, all bets are off. Check out this sweet pottery Salsa made, though!

This week, James worked himself sick, Salsa was in a cave, and Jena saw some Fringe shows. Don't forget to see The MacScottish Play! Three more shows! https://minnesotafringe.org/shows/2024/the-macscottish-play And here's some pictures of some caves Salsa was in:

This week, Salsa isn't here because he's directing a show. Jena did fight choreo for the show. James… well… we haven't figured out what he does yet. YOU SHOULD GO TO THIS SHOW!https://minnesotafringe.org/shows/2024/the-macscottish-play

This week, Jena had a bad experience at a restaurant, Salsa had an overbearing experience at a website, and James had a fantastic experience at a play. Show Notes: https://minnesotafringe.org/shows/2024/the-macscottish-playhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1153044295972533/1153044309305865/

This week, James is away, so the cats will play. (And by cats, I of course mean Salsa, Jena, and guest Tom S. Tea. Who else would I mean?) Tom wrote a Fringe show, you should go see it. Show Notes: https://minnesotafringe.org/shows/2024/the-macscottish-playhttps://www.twitch.tv/tom_s_tea
