I'm moving! I'll have a brief show and talk about what's happening, shout out to a few listeners who sent vanity plate and take any calls that come in. This will be the LAST show until I get settles into my new place in November.
I've been diligently promoting this on Facebook every week and want to see if the trickle of listeners is affected at all by not promoting it over there... so if you're a fan on Facebook, just listen, don't tell anyone! I know, that sounds like a strange request, but I just want to measure the results without any Facebook promotion this week.

It's not at all surprising that bureaucrats and agencies want to regulate something as simple, cool and fun as vanity plate messages. Sad but true, not only are "dirty" messages censored, but a number of religious vanity plates have been denied and featured in the news lately. This week, I just happened to stumble over a few and then saw a great one right before mixing down this segment.
Due to a scheduling challenge, this week's show will consist of a highlights from the first 9 segments of Plate Show.

The long story starts here. My Dad is my first guest since he was an early inspiration for my vanity plate obsession. You can read all about that on the site if you like. We'll probably talk more about his dog or my new Mac, but there will be at least one vanity plate story here and I'll test one or more new ideas for future shows... this is the first one!
