Theoretically something like this should go up right after the show and in the same order as the guests, but in the real world …well, not so much since my intern called in sick.  I eventually plan to get all of these up and have an easily navigable guide to all of the shows.  They are not going up in particular order, but I am just getting to them as I have some free time.  This time around it happened to be Julie.
