Given To Cast has NEW domain name and email address

Hey guys,

I have decided to fork over the cash to get my old domain name back but someone has gotten it to try to squeeze some cash outta me. Well, I refuse to do that so they can keep it. I may take a day or so for it to become active but it should be working soon. Bookmark it and change your email address books to reflect the new email addy below.

I have a new domain name for the podcast now.

www.giventocast.net

My new email for the show is: mario@giventocast.net

Only thing that's changed is .com to .net i figure it works for the Ten Club, it'll be good enough for me.

UPDATE: New web address is working now. Thanks to Mark for giving me the heads up.

Hopefully, i can get the podcast up by tomorrow

Austin City Limits SIMULCAST... who's going?

Hey guys,

Just want to let everyone know, I'll be at the Pearl Jam SIMULCAST of the taping of Pearl Jam on ACL TV show(airing Nov. 21st - check local listings). I will be there around 5 or 6 to get into the auditorium for a good seat. I'm hoping to catch a few of you dedicated PJ fans to get your comments on the taping. I will be giving a FULL report of the weekend events on this site and on a upcoming podcast. I'll be wearing a "Given To Cast" t-shirt. If you see me, come up and say "hey, are you that dude..." Here's the info. about the simulcast:

Simulcast of Pearl Jam Taping

Austin City Limits will tape a performance by Pearl Jam on Saturday, October 3. Our studio capacity is too limited to meet the demands for this taping and we didn’t want our loyal blog readers to miss out on it so we’re video streaming the live recording direct from our studio to fans in the Hogg Memorial Auditorium.


We’ll be giving away tickets to the simulcast at noon on Friday, October 2, at KLRU-TV (map to KLRU ). Tickets will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, four (4) per person limit until supplies run out. We’ll be giving away more than 400 tickets to the simulcast, so bring your friends.

Remember, this is not to the studio taping, but to the simulcast party. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the screening will start at 8 p.m. Hogg Memorial Auditorium is located on the University of Texas campus, directions here .


BTW, be sure to check out my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/giventocast) for LIVE updates and setlist of Saturday night and Sunday shows.

Backspacer has leaked... It was a matter of time

Hey guys,

It seems that the hard work PJ has done to keep Backspacer under wraps till the 20th has ended. According to some unnamed sources, Backspacer has leaked. It was bound to happen but I have to say they did a pretty good job controling the release up til now.

I am not going to be a party to giving out information on how to get it. If you really want it, you do that part yourself. I will say that you should be very careful downloading any files because they could contain viruses.

Reminder: I will be doing a podcast dedicated to reviewing Backspacer on Sept. 20th hopefully it'll be up by that night. Anyone interested in participating, email me at mario@giventocast.com

3SAT interview with Ed and Matt

Hey guys,

I came across an interview with Eddie and Matt when they were in Germany. It's a pretty good one and it's about 19 min long. Click the link below to watch it.

3 SAT Interview

Thanks pearljamevolution.blogspot.com for posting.

BTW, The newest podcast will be up soon. Stay tuned and thanks for sticking with it. Also, if you want to participate in reviewing the new album, send me an email at mario@givnetocast.com and let me know. I'll be picking someone at random to participate in an upcoming podcast review of the CD.
