So, does Eric Pope or CBSi owe money for that song at the start?

Probably, but GB will continue to infringe copyright until somebody tells them to stop.

@Brewmaster_Andy: No. I only heard them play the intermission song. They don't actually play the theme song though.

Oh well, I was just curious anyway. They had it on the last podcast so, i was just curious. Maybe Ryan just didn't want them to play it for whatever reason. Most likely that is all it was.

@CornBREDX: No, they definitely played it. The guitar part in the theme song is being played by the trumpet. There was also a part when they were doing their ska jam session where John Drake asked Ryan if they should do "the theme" and he told them to wait. That's what the "hit it" was for at the beginning of the panel.

Is that EA and PopCap's own Jeff Green, and his daughter, on the left side of the front row?

For some reason my mind cannot decide if that was Jeff Green and his daughter or Jeff Green and his young wife. All I know is that I was bummed out when the camera went the other way.

Also, guy in Viking Helmet and backpack was almost as pleasing to the eye.

Skankin' Pickle, greatest band of our time. Let's Go Bowling is also very good. Then there's that one ska song about a female secret agent. You know, that one.

Just started the video and 4 minutes in and already awesome shit!

1) Specials cover!

2) Camo pants bro! Straight looking like a skinhead, but not skanking :(

3) Pax dude with sunglasses who stepped out of a Warhol art movie!

Can't wait to see the rest!

As much as 90's ska gets shit, I would have so much fun at these shows! Place outside of LA called The Barn and they had Ska shows all the time! Since it was in Riverside, there would be so many sketchy people there!

Very nice coverage of the event between this and the recorded panel! Excellent that you're doing such a good job of it since I'm probably not going to get a chance to actually check it out live.

I'm upset at the lack of skanking from the audience.
