This month, we will be meeting at Wilde Roast Cafe in lovely Nordeast Minneapolis starting at 6:30 PM on January 26th. Come down and say hi to your favorite hosts, cast angry glances at your least favorite hosts, and gab with other fans and those hosts you haven’t yet formed an opinion on.

For you Facebookers, there is an event listing on our FPG community page, and we’d love to know if you are coming. This isn’t an actual happy hour (with discounts and such) but if we can guarentee a turnout maybe we can work out something with places in the future. We are always looking for suggestions for venues as well, so make sure to let us know about your favorite place.

See you all soon!

The Well Fed Guide To Life and Yet Another Gaming Show links are now working as expected. The Flyover Ska Show has been delisted due to Courtney’s laziness, we are working on getting it relisted. In the mean time, you can still use the FOSS RSS link in iTunes like normal. All other shows are unaffected.

Thank you to Twitter user rogXue for letting us know about this.

We know we have some of the best fans around when it comes to sharing our episodes with friends and family. Now we want to reward it. Starting today, anytime you share one of our episodes via Twitter, Facebook or Google Plus, you will be entered into a monthly drawing for a $50 giftcard from Amazon. Seriously, all you have to do to enter is share our posts. You get one entry for every episode you share, so no reason to blitz your social networks with 900 posts about this week’s Girl Germs (unless that’s your thing, in which case blitz away). We release nearly 20 episode a month right now, so that’s 20 chances to win. There will also be show specific prizes each month as well, so be sure to help support your favorite Fancy Pants Gangsters show by telling all your social connections about it.

Since we are starting in the middle of December, there is only 2 weeks for this prize, so don’t hesitate to start sharing. Thanks again from all the Gangsters.

Follow the yellow brick road (yellowness or existence of bricks may vary) for comic audio goodness.

We’ve also got some other ideas like Ask A Gangster, Favorite Fan and more coming, plus all the show highlights and sponser and event info you’ve come to expect. If you are a fan of Fancy Pants Gangsters, you should really sign up. It’s better than a kick in the face, we promise.

Courtesy of our friends at Relic and THQ, we’ve got 5 Steam codes for the new Warhammer 40k game Space Marine.

But life isn’t easy in the grim darkness of the far future, so if you want to win, we need you to be creative. Your holy mission is to come up with a Space Marine Chapter that would accept the YAGS crew. If you are unfamiliar with Space Marine naming, think football teams named by theater majors, or you can get inspiration here. We’ll pick the best and announce them on next week’s show, so you will need to enter by 5PM CST on Wednesday, September 14th to be eligible.

Leave your entries in the comments below, or send them to our Twitter or Facebook accounts. Enter, or be ground under the powered bootheel of the Emperor’s Finest!

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting the backlog of shows created before the Great Tank Drought began, and starting September 7th, TCT will be bringing all new shows to the internet on the first Wednesday of every month. There will be some minor changes, but everyone who dug the raunchy humor, comedian and musician interviews, and everything that made Twin Cities Tank one of our favorite shows to distribute won’t be disappointed.

So welcome back Pete And Brent by flooding tct@fancypantsgangsters.com or the various Facebooks and Twitters with your love. Just watch for Brent though, he can be a bit handsy.

Locust Lecture

Out Of Step

The main date for the marathon is October 15th. Unfortunately for us, this is also the date of Evan’s wedding, which would otherwise occupy most of the YAGS crew. We are still working out details to do the marathon sometime before the 15th, so stay tuned to the show and the website for more details.

How you can help now is by signing up to sponsor the Yet Another Gaming Show team and pledge at least a buck for each hour we game (that’s $24 for you math majors out there). 100% of all the proceeds will be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network, and it’s 100% tax deductable.

We were going to do this last year, but fate conspired against us. Luckily we are 1 year stronger, so I have no doubt that we can make a real impact this year. Thanks in advance for your support, and keep an eye on the site for more information.
