A couple weeks ago, Five Hundy by Midnight’s very own Tim (don’t you love when I refer to myself in third person?) challenged Steve Friess from The Strip to a Vegas trivia battle on Boned, the first podcast gameshow. Our episode is now available for your listening pleasure.

Sorry… no show this week. We’ll have plenty to talk about next weekend.

A couple weeks ago, Steve Friess from The Strip interviewed us for Podcast411, a podcast about podcasts and podcasters. We had a blast. Steve is a fantastic interviewer, reporter and writer, so we were honored he chose to interview us. We talked about Las Vegas and the geeky behind-the-scenes details of Five Hundy. The interview has been posted to the Podcast411 site, so check it out if you’re so inclined. And if you aren’t already listening to The Strip, check out that podcast too. Steve and Miles feature great Vegas-related celebrity interviews and present a local perspective on our favorite city each week. Thanks to Steve for interviewing us and to Podcast411’s producer and usual host Rob Welch for including us in his show.

What a start to 2007! Five Hundy by Midnight won the 2006 Trippie Award Readers Choice and Editors Pick for Best Podcast. Thank you to everyone who voted for us and to the talented crew over at Vegas Tripping for the honor.

As promised, we are checking in from Las Vegas. We have lots of stuff to talk about on the podcast upon our return. Here’s a two second summary of our trip: weather good, drinking good, dining very good, gambling bad. We have had numerous celebrity sightings (including Jeremy Piven, so Michele’s life is complete) and have hung out with a few of listeners. Good times. If we still have enough money for a cab ride to the airport in a couple days, we’ll give you a full trip recap this weekend.

The day started out great with a mention in Norm Clarke’s Las Vegas Review Journal column and news that we’ve been nominated for a few 2006 Trippies at Vegas Tripping. Longtime listeners know that we rarely begin the day without reading Norm’s column, so this mention is huge for us. And Vegas Tripping is one of our favorite Las Vegas sites, so the award nominations mean a lot. If you’re so inclined, we would appreciate your vote in the best podcast category, but please throw your best Web site and best blog votes to someone more deserving.

We’re not going to get this week’s action packed episode of Five Hundy by Midnight, the Original Las Vegas Podcast, recorded until midweek. We have a lot to talk about, but a couple things came up today that derailed our plans to record today. Sorry for the delay.

No show this week, but we’ll be back with an action-packed, super-sized show next weekend.

The Podcast Award winners were have been announced and, alas, we didn’t win. Congratulations to Mouse Tunes, which won in the Travel category, as well as all of the other winners.
