Thanks for all of the replies but I am still under the 30 probationary period with Dwolla.  If I can't get a transfer to mtgox in three weeks I'll be back.

I think I can handle the 5 hour weight.  Might as well get a workout in.

I've recently gotten in to the Indie scene.  I've always loved The White Stripes and my local radio station plays them often.  The station has introduced me to other great bands such as: Tune-Yards, Teegan and Sara, The Shins, and many more.  Check out http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/streams.shtml for a live stream.

This is exactly how I heard about bitcoins.  I remember reading about Silkroad on the news and was really interested in bitcoins.  I'm still waiting 30 days for my dwolla account to be certified so I can make my first bitcoin purchase.  It's going to be a long month.

Thank you.  Can't use your service though since I'm American.  Good Luck.

Hi all,  My name is Jeff and I'm from Minneapolis.  Thanks for all of the great information!
