// MOVIES
* The last movie we watched from our Netflix queue was "Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat" (1990), starring Bruce Campbell and David Carradine.
- Dan gives it a 6. Michelle gives it a 5.
* The next movie in our Netflix queue is "The Thirst" (2006)
// PROMOS
* CONTAGIOUS, by Scott Sigler.
- Sigler Stank II is coming to a town near you! Phoenix is one of 10 stops Scott Sigler is hitting on the Contagious Book Tour! Awesome!
* ShadowDance Podcast hosted by Chris Miller and Michelle Belanger.
// RANDOM
* We tried Absinthe for the first time, and I personally believe Vicks created NyQuil to be an Absinthe substitute. I've never liked licorice, but it is not bad after the alcohol (110 Proof) kills your taste buds. The good news is that you can find small 100mL bottles which makes two glasses easily, so that you can try it rather than committing to a 750mL.
// BOOKS
* We bought a copy of Michelle Belanger's PSYCHIC VAMPIRE CODEX which we've meant to get for a while now.
// TRUE BLOOD
* We talked about episode 10 of True Blood, "I Don't Wanna Know".
- Sam does it doggy style. Tara goes over the edge. Bill has to do the unthinkable (for him).
- There's only two episodes left. HBO sent me some spoilers if you are curious.
// TV
* When this first season of "True Blood" ends, is there another TV show you'd like us to discuss on the show?
- Vote in our poll and/or leave us voice mail.
* We also watched part of the 2007 Masterpiece Theatre version of DRACULA which recently re-aired for Halloween.
- I am enjoying the tweaks they have done to the story while keeping the essence alive. It is admittedly a bit distracting because of the differences but still gorgeous and fun.
- I am also very partial to Sophia Myles (Moonlight and Underworld) as Lucy Westenra. Just wonderful.
// FAREWELL
* We wrapped the show by playing "Burning Down The World" by The Jackalopes, just one of many awesome artists from Magnatune Records!
* Our intro music is "Stigmata" by George Hrab from his album Minutiae. Check out his podcast, his albums, and his wickedly funny book, George Hrab's Non-Coloring Book, now on sale at Lulu.com!
That wraps up this episode of the Out Of The Coffin podcast. Thanks for listening!

Absinthe...
My partner and I have started drinking absinthe. I don't like black licorice either -- you want to go for the absinthe that doesn't have anise (anise is the licorice taste). Try Alandia, they have a whole category of anise-free absinthe. Alandia is especially good to order from because they guarantee delivery.
It sounds like you didn't get much of a thujone high. Sad! :( Try one of Alandia's stronger ones, like their Gold68. No anise, and the maximum thujon content available. Yay!

Alandia absinthe
We shall definitely track this down. I hope they'll ship to AZ. Thanks for the tip, Mira!
Re: Absinthe
They ought to -- they guarantee delivery throughout the US. So, if it gets stopped by customs or something, they will send you new bottles until it gets through. Shipping details
I also recommend you make sure you know the legal standing of absinthe in this country before you order. Alandia has some non-absinthe spirits that are definitely illegal in this country, but quite pleasant.
Enjoy!! :)
