Thanks to Neal Carter, Maurice Shevalier, Paul Driver, Phil Connor, Rory Gillespie, John Haugaard, Lynda Fudold and, most recently, Dennis Jones, Sly, Lesa and Shawn went to a Vancouver Canucks vs Nashville Predators hockey game Tuesday evening.

Hard to believe but it's actually cheaper for Sly to see a Canucks game here in Nashville than it is in her home town of Vancouver. So thanks to the above sponsors for helping make it possible!

Sly Goes to a Predators Game!

Thanks to Neal Carter, Maurice Shevalier, Paul Driver, Phil Connor, Rory Gillespie and, most recently, John Haugaard, our very own Jill of All Trades Sly is coming to Nashville tomorrow!

And what a trip she's starting out on - it will take her over thirteen and a half hours, she'll travel through 4 different airports in 2 different countries and travel more than halfway across North America....

She'll be in studio live on Wednesday evening, going to a Vancouver Canucks vs Nashville Predators hockey game (it's actually cheaper for her to see a Canucks game here than it is to see it in Vancouver!) and headed down to Atlanta on the weekend to see the sites.

If you'd like to sponsor "Sly's Trip to Nashville", simply go to our PayPal Link:

And send whatever amount you like for whatever reason (wanna buy Sly a beer while she's in Nashville? You can do that too!)

With your help, we can make sure Sly has a great time while she's "down South"!

On last night's show I talked about the new Photoshop Elements 4.0 and how much fun it is to create collages with the Magic Extractor. In this example I took a picture from this past summer, and plopped in the family dog... that we don't have. Hope you enjoy the tutorial!

Until next week, may the force be with you :)

Please note the "original" site has had to take down the video for music copyright issues - but I found another site with the video, albeit lesser quality video.

The ITMS is a behemoth of a store. It's filled with page after page of artists from near and far.

The Podcast section is just as diverse (if not as big). For those of us stuck at a desk, here's a few you might want to check out...

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- A group of Vatican Radio employees gave Pope Benedict XVI a brand new iPod nano loaded with special Vatican Radio programming and classical music. To honor the pope's first visit to the radio's broadcasting headquarters, the radio's technical staff decided the pencil-thin, state-of-the-art audio player would make the perfect gift.
