LIVE TO AIR!
Before I get into talking about lost gloves,wolves and blockparties, I want to let everyone know that Thursday morning something cool is happening! Something you guys will want to know about.
Everyone knows all about my little radio experiment right? Every Thursday morning for the last month or so,my buddy and I have been on the local College radio station (CFMU 93.3fm)at 9:30am and I'm assuming you guys know that it's not live.We go in Tuesday afternoons and pre-record the spot so that the station manager can make sure I don't say anything too crazy and get them in trouble.Once the spot is approved by management,it goes on the air Thursday mornings at 9:30am which has become are regular timeslot. I have no idea why there was so much concern about what I might do or say on the radio but letting us go live to air each week was an idea that got squashed back when I first approached the station manager about doing something on the air on 93.3!
Well guess what?
All this week the station is fund raising for next years budget and the station manager wanted everyone to do there radio shows live so that listeners could call in and pledge money.How could he encourage everyone to go on the air live and then tell us we still weren't allowed to.That's right,he couldn't so tomorrow morning at 9:30am,Frankie and I go live to air for the very first time.It's going to be awesome!
You just know that the program manager and anyone else who has been concerned about me getting everyone at the station in trouble with the CRTC will be hovering around the station Thursday morning before we go on the air.The suspense is building by the moment.The other thing that is cool is that you guys can call in if you want and talk to us on the air.The number is (905)528-9888!
People who call in are suppose to pledge a buck or two but don't sweat it guys.It will be us answering the phone and it would just be great to hear from some of you live on the radio.If you can't listen to us on the radio where you live then listen on line,cause who knows what might happen.

Good thing I didn't get attacked by that wolf the other day or I would have missed my first ever live to air radio spot with my pal Frankie Colorado.Turns out there hadn't been any wolves in these parts for about 50 years.I stopped into the local nature centre to ask about how big the coyotes get around here and the dude told me that there is a pack of coyotes in the area and a few of them are in fact very large! They assume the coyotes have been doing it with some large wild dogs and the offspring are becoming much larger than your average size coyote. It looked more like a wolf than a coyote if you ask me. Pretty awesome site!
As for my lost glove,well it's still missing. I even took Emma back to trace are steps from the other day but I didn't see my glove anywhere.Anyone want a left handed snowboard glove! Call me tomorrow on the radio and it's yours!
The other thing you guys know I like doing is going to the movies.On Monday night I saw Dave Chappell's new movie Blockparty! It was interesting to see how many people walked out half way into the movie. It was as soon as they figured out the movie was mostly about a rap concert Dave had put together and he wasn't screaming "I'm Rick James Bitch" every two seconds.
I thought the movie was cool.It was interesting and entertaining in the same way I hope my new series will be this summer. It was inspiring actually. You wanted to watch to see how things turned out with the concert but setting it all up,promoting it and seeing footage of Dave Chappell hitting the streets was hilarious.I liked the movie alot!
I guess I should have gotten Kevin to write this review for me....
Maybe Kev can give us his thoughts on the big live to air college radio show tomorrow morning.Looking forward to talking to some of you guys on the phone, live and on the air!! (905)528-9888 Call in guys!
