Posted by: Ian – Jan 08, 2010

January's First Friday is actually the 2nd Friday of the month, as on the actual First Friday everyone was celebrating National Hangover Day.
This month, we give a tearful farewell to our host, Baylen Forcier, who has left us to film a documentary in Kazakhstan, AKA, Kazakstan, Kazakh: Қазақстан Qazaqstan,قازاقستان, pronounced [qɑzɑqstɑ́n]; Russian: Казахстан [kəzɐxˈstan] (wiki, for those of you who live under a rock and haven't seen Borat). We love you, Baylen, wish you the best, hope you have a blast, and remember that you told Ian you'd try and bring him back an AK-47 or at the very least a some kind of communist gun.
