Ok, you guys have my respect now that you've subjected yourselves to the elements in Omaha in Dec. Nice! Outtakes were great. Glad it wasn't me standing up there in a t-shirt... you're a stud Slobotski.
How 'bout up on the Kerry bridge next time?
Might I suggest the world renowned Turbine Flats Project in the metropolis Lincoln as a location for a future SPNWWUST (Silicon Prairie News Weekly Wrap-Up Show Thingy).
And I will tell you - contrary to Omaha, Lincoln does have indoor heating...however if you desire we can shimmy up to the roof of Turbine Flats and do a V 2.0 of this past weeks SPNWWUST.
I've purchased my parka already for the fun!
See you soon.
You're always welcome to drop by my apartment!
Here's a link to my Locations page. Troll away for ideas.

I love the idea of filming at a diner. It would be like Seinfeld. You could eat black and white cookies and complain about the soup. I saw a nice looking one from a previous comment by JV. http://web.me.com/vesay/Vesay/locations.html#21
