A Latin term meaning "on to the next party." The "V's" are pronounced as "W's" as per traditional Latin prononciation. (Ad proximum conwiwium)

TBTL just got cancelled as a radio show, but is still a podcast. Oh well, ad proximum convivium, I suppose.

Too Beautiful to Live 

An excellent podcast put on by Luke Burbank, Jen Andrews, and Sean DeTore. The podcast stems from a radio show by the same name (often abbreviated "TBTL") that was cancelled on September 11, 2009.

Based in Seattle, Washington, it is often described as the "Seinfeld" of talk radio. Popular segments include Awesome/Not Awesome, This Day in TBTL History, Music for Your Weekend, and Cooking with Sean DeTore.

I was listening to Too Beautiful to Live today and it was freaking hilarious.

What listeners of the Seattle-based podcast Too Beautiful to Live (TBTL) are called and what they call themselves. Stemming from the early days of TBTL as a radio show on Seattle's KIRO when the host, Luke Burbank, would refer to the "literally tens of listeners," instead of hundreds or thousands. This title has since been adopted by the listeners and is now often prefaced with a town, region, or neighborhood or integrated into the name of a town, state, etc.
1. I listen to TBTL and I am therefore one of the Tens.

2. I am (your name here) of the (Your Town Here) Tens.

3. BosTens (Boston Tens), Tenverites (Denver Tens), Ballard Tens, etc...
