The fine print (admission for just one soul per day!)
So one day I was filled with seething jealousy over how some other people's liveblogs got a bunch of comments, and decided to opine about it on ye olde IRC. I got a few suggestions to sell out and do something popular, but since I live under a large pile of rocks at the end of a leprechaun rainbow I don't know what's popular either. End result was that Alkthash told me that I should liveblog Baccano! and I blindly agreed to do so, because, hey, I've seen Durarara!! and I need more exclamation points in my life.
This was about two months ago, which means that episode one's entry will probably come in a week.
I'll be watching Ayu's DVD version of the show: Japanese audio, English subtitles. *

Official spelling of that name is Pecho, not Pezzo.

Pezzo makes more sense, though. I also vaguely remember seeing another spelling floating around somewhere, but I don't remember it.

The red-headed conductor is of no importance whatsoever. Dude doesn't even gets his name in the opening credits ! He's just there to control everyone's ticket and provide some color.
The plot for this series really sounds like the setup for a joke : cultists trying to take a senator's family hostages, Ladd Russo and his totally-non-threatening crew, Jacuzzi & Nice trying to steal a bomb from the cargo, two really dumb thieves, whatever Czeslaw is up to, whatever the mysterious woman in fatigues is up to, and maybe this Rail Tracer boogieman, all meet in a train. Mayhem ensues.

Mayhem ensues is a pretty accurate description indeed. One thing, though, I'm pretty certain Jacuzzi's scar actually is a tattoo, but they've gone and hid the details in an episode I haven't seen yet. How inconsiderate of them D:

Well, it's clear that there are a lot of dangerous and/or crazy people aboard this train. No wonder that things tunred out as bad as they did in episode 1, huh?
By the way, why the reference to the Golden Ratio?

This isn't spoiling much, so I'll just say that Jacuzzi's scar is indeed a tattoo; he got it after Nice lost her eye so that she wouldn't feel so bad about having a scarred face.
Also going to keep track of this Live Blog now because it is awesome; even though you really should be watching the English dub because it is spectacular. Err, in an audio-like-sense. Auscultacular? Anyway.

/, I love you and I love your liveblog. I feel like I've said this in all the comments so far. I shall say it again! But not this time. That'd be dreadfully repetitious. I can also say that this liveblog is making me want to watch the show, but where's the fun in that?

The fun of watching a really good show?
