We've done four insideSTL.com Anniversary Parties, and this one was the best by far. So many people to thank...and I always hesitate to do this, because inevitably I'll accidentally leave someone off, and then it's taken as a shot, when in reality I'm just an idiot.

First off, thank you to Producer Joe...who worked his ass off to put the show together, get the Cardinal players there, and make sure that the rather difficult production went off without a hitch. As The Cat commented Thursday night, "I can't believe it. Everybody showed up, and everything worked."

Second, thank you to Andy Hanselman who handled our audio. The people who came to the Fourth Anniversary Party were able to actually listen to the show if they wanted to, and the reason is because Andy made sure we had seven mics all working and the audio firing on all cylinders.

Thank you to Ryan Franklin, Colby Rasmus, Brendan Ryan, Todd Wellemeyer, and Jesse Jane for coming down to The Pepper Lounge and spending a good portion of their evening with us. Thank you to Rudy (as if he'll be logging in to read this) for getting on the MetroLink to get downtown, and thank you to Intern Kevin for picking up Timberfake, Mike Lee, and Jackie...who I also all want to thank.

Thank you to The Pepper Lounge for hosting us.

Thank you to my co-hosts on The ITD Morning After, Jimmy "The Cat" Hayes and Doug Vaughn for coming out and playing in the reindeer games.

And, of course, thank you to the fans of the show and site who came out to The insideSTL.com Fourth Anniversary Party Thursday night. It was incredibly cool to see the place damn near full by the time we started the show at 7:00.

So, with all of that said, it's time to show you some of the fun and games from the festivities. We're incredibly grateful for the work Clark Bowen did in shooting not only the event, but also the car ride down to The Pepper Lounge with Mike Lee, Timberfake, and Rudy.

We'll have video segments popping up in this section throughout the week, but here's the Producer Joe vs Charlie Marlow IQ Challenge and The Car Ride to the Party for your enjoyment courtesy of Clark Bowen.
