Fucking Cats and SecondHand Radio Tonight with @OnlyAman

I heard the horrible news last night just before going to bed at an ungodly hour (10pm for me). Hilly’s beloved FC died yesterday, and that makes me even sadder than I am already. Love that cat.

FC (Fucking Cat) is a kitty I’ve known for a while. Just saw him a few weeks back at Hilly’s, in fact. He certainly seemed older than when I’d seen him last summer in California, but I just figured he was mellowing out. Finally.

Cancer. Again. I mean, cancer has claimed the life of yet another family member/friend. This time, kitty cancer.

I’m sorry, Hil. I can’t imagine how hard this is for you. Just know that FC’s freaking clawmarks will be on my fucking suitcase forever. Damn cat used it as a scratching post and it’s always gonna be frayed on the outside.

FC is the reason why most every airline baggage checker says to me, “I have to mark this bag down as damaged,” and I just nod my head and say, “That’s fine.”

RIP, FC. Fucking Cat.

Tonight’s episode of SecondHand Radio is going to be at Blog Talk Radio INSTEAD of Talkshoe. Yes, you heard right. Tired of people having trouble with Talkshoe, so I’m going somewhere else to see if it’s any better. I’m hoping there are far fewer tech issues for people at BTR than there have been for the last year at Talkshoe.

If this works well, I may switch back over to BTR. Talkshoe has been good to me. I like it, particularly the Talkshoe client, which makes the chatroom a lot easier to navigate. But it does me no good – or you – if you can’t get into the show.

First, you’ll want to go register at Blog Talk Radio if you’re not already a member. It’s free, doesn’t take long. It’ll let you participate in the chatroom and stuff.

My guest tonight is the infamous @Onlyaman aka Mr. ChurchPunkMom aka Mr. 5 Questions. You can find him over at his blog, where he does all sorts of multimedia stuff. He’s a great guy that I got the chance to hang with in Chicago a few months back…shit, it’s October now, isn’t it? Really HAS been a few months.

I don’t click with a lot of dudes, but he’s one of the rare ones. Father of 5 kids, still likes the rockin’ tunes, and he’s a god (lower-case god, of course) with the camera and editing. He’s also funny and smart…some might say handsome, but I wouldn’t. I just say he’s IN MY WAY. Y’know, ’cause he’s married to Megan and all that.

This is him in the lower-right. At BlogHer 2009.

So aside from the venue, nothing is really all that different. Same show time, same concept. There’s still a chatroom available to play in while you’re listening. Still a call-in number that you’re all welcome to use to say hi to Aman and me.

Please pass the word.

Keep in mind, the call-in number is DIFFERENT than usual.

Showtime: 10 PM EST, 9 PM CST, 7 PM Pacific

My guest on Monday night – which I may also move to BTR if tonight’s episode works well – is the gorgeous Sassy Smith, known as @Sassy1969 on Twitter. Details to follow.

Hope to see you all there tonight.
