Coming Home (a week late)

Well it's been a hectic tiring week, plus I'm sick, so I apologize for the delay in this post.

Homecoming was last weekend. I was actually rather disappointed that I didn't get to see a lot of the alumni I was looking forward to seeing. (No Weaver, I never saw Bowers if she did come). Most exciting was talking with Sebas, who flew in 'specially for the occasion. Sarah was there too, and Amy. Tandi sent me a message on facebook about her new job in Macon, Georgia?! Who knew! I heard Ian was around but didn't get to see him. And of course we all missed Pat, tear! Forgive me if I forget someone, but this cold has my head all stuffed up, which makes thinking rather difficult.

I am so glad September is over - $2000 in truck repairs made me an angry person. Sept. was not a happy month.

The fun thing at homecoming was having lots of people coming up to me and telling me they heard me on the radio. It was fun. However, a lot of people were surprised. That made me think, because I know we always used to talk about how people didn't take BC Majors seriously at WC and we tried to turn that around because we do more work on a daily basis than most majors on campus! So I was like, what, you didn't expect me to get a job in the field I paid $80,000 to study? Geez!

But still, a positive weekend. I wish I had gotten to see more people!

Hurricane Relief Efforts...

...since this seems to be a huge topic of discussion lately (as it should be) I figured I'd post my info as well...

The day of my car wreck *yay* my station held a relief effort ... "96.1 Kiss for Rent". Basically, listeners pledged money to hear songs or to get things like for Scotty to talk like Bonics, or for the Freak Show to sing the "banana phone" song...the whole crew even had to sing the theme song for golden girls!

Carson Daly called in a $1000 donation for Mikey and Big Bob (Morning Freak Show) to kiss, and you can find video of that and other highlights of the day here.

We raised over $43,000.00 that day.

I know DVE and 3WS did their fundraisers in the next few days, and they raised around $30,000 each.

So, the money is coming, slowly but surely. Plus I was amused to see that schools like Westminster and Kent State are opening their classrooms to victims of the Hurricane so that their education can continue at no cost to them during the crisis.

More to come...
