Click here  to listen to this episode in your browser. More options  here . No real show notes this episode as we ate dinner and mainly talked PAB2011 . So, basically it's a whole ton of us (along with "producineer" Ryan Wiseman), bus noise, special guests and Pew-Pews... Pew Pew! Here's where we ate. Valerie Hunter swung by and talked to us right after our food arrived. We discussed all things PAB ...and we'll do a further discussion next week. Family came up. It got kinda weird. The keynote came up. Which is also kinda weird cuz it should've come first by definition. Each of us discussed what our favourite PAB sessions were. Adam Gratrix and Damien Ragubance (of "I'm Done with this Podcast") weighed in on the conversation. They also ate. Other randomness came up. (Other than the topic of focus , that is.) Shout-Outs Big shout-outs to Mark Blevis and Bob Goyetche for spearheading the whole PAB deal. Kudos
