The really cool thing about doing this as a hobby rather than a job is that I can just decide at the drop of a hat that I really don't feel like doing jack shit on a given day and then just not do it.  Actually, we're all busy spending this weekend with family and friends, so cut us some slack and just be satisfied with the Chad Hopper interview below and this linkless Weekender with no descriptions.  We'll be back starting Monday with a couple new features and a couple new writers.  Get ready for it.  Oh, and feel free to add any shows in the comments.
