    This format is a departure from the usual way things go around here. After the Advertising Tax Talk and Crab Feast in Baltimore last week, a bunch of us decided to do a pub crawl.

    In this PubCast, a bunch of buzzed affiliate marketers talk about the event, how to eat Maryland crabs, advertising tax and why we hate despise former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer.
