How gay, Real Gay!

I am not making a better case for my heterosexuality.  But last night I finally rode one of those Metropolitan scooters.  Thats right, I cased Gateway on an 06 Honda Metropolitan Blue scooter.  I should have known within seconds what I was getting myself into.  “Hey Queer, why dont you act like a real man and get yourself a bullet bike” But I did…I loved riding the scooter.  There is nothing to those things.  I should have gotten one when I was in college.

Tonight:  Producers at Pioneer Theatre Company!

My Old Radio Days

On my "man" date with Bill we ran into someone who remembered this.

Two Power 91 disc jockeys will spend 28 consecutive hours on top of the Providence Center lighthouse to raise money for multiple sclerosis, starting today at 5 p.m. and ending Friday at 9 p.m.

“Hopefully, the whole community gets involved with this,” said Richy T. Steadman, a senior theatre arts major from Draper and one of the disc jockeys.

Russ Wilde, a senior communication major from Springville and Power 91 morning show personality, said the purpose of the lighthouse stay is to “create a stir in the Providence Center and to get people to gawk at us, basically.”

Steadman said Wilde first thought of the idea.

“He kinda came up with the idea, and I talked to who I needed to to make it happen,” he said.

Permission was received from SUU and Providence Quantum Partners, the lighthouse’s owners, Steadman said.

“We didn’t have any problems,” he said. “Everyone has been more than willing to help.”

Various organizations and businesses have donated equipment to sustain the pair during their stay.

“The restaurants in the Providence Center are going to provide us with food, and we are getting outdoor gear from the (SUU) Outdoor Rec. Center,” Wilde said.

All the proceeds of the fund-raiser go to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Utah chapter, which is based in Salt Lake City.

Brooke Upp, the chapter’s marketing coordinator, said Power 91 has been a big help in the past with creating awareness for fund-raising events, such as the 2004 MS Walk coming up on April 17.

“Power 91 has had a long relationship with the organization,” Wilde said.

There will be collection points inside most of the Providence Center businesses and at the base of the lighthouse, Steadman said.

He and Wilde said they hope to broadcast their 7 to 9 a.m. Friday morning show live from the top of the lighthouse.

“The only problem is electricity,” Wilde said.

They will call in to the radio station even if they are not able to broadcast, he said.

Steadman said the student-run station chose to raise money for multiple sclerosis because the wife of one of the disc jockeys suffers from the disease.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has invested more than $420 million since its 1946 inception to find a cause, treatments and cure for the disease, according to the Utah chapter’s 2004 fact sheet.

:(

I regret to tell everyone who may read this….No talent show for now.  Looking for a different venue, different angle, different time.  If you had a talent you wanted to share email me and let me know…we will keep you in mind for the future.

I’m Like a Gold Fish!

am I?

They say that a goldfish expands to the size of the container that it is in.  Well, I suppose in that respect I am like a goldfish.  Recently I moved in to Gina’s cubicle.  I have now exceeded the space that I am allowed.  It is just full of JUNK.  Lots of stuff that can be taken to the DI or just given away to people.  But the fact remains, MESSY!

I suppose the other way that I am like a goldfish is that I like my food in flake form and dropped above me so it will float down to me….and my excrement follows behind me until it falls off.

I love that line from Juno....

Dear Blog:

It has been a while since we have chatted. Dont feel neglected. I have been really busy. Radio From Hells all-day show is coming up tomorrow. There is a lot that goes into making sure 13 hours of broadcasting goes off without a hitch. Right now I am writing you from the confines of my new cubicle (it used to be Gina’s cubicle but I needed a little more space) It was really nice of Gina to let me have her cubicle. She didn’t have to, and maybe didn’t want to, but having the more space for projects, etc that I have going on has already come in handy. I don’t know how Gina does what she does. She has A LOT going on but she manages to put all that aside and come in, day after day, and deliver a great show.

Also Blog, I have been busy doing reunion stuff like crazy! I know that there are people that I still have not contacted for the Hillcrest High School 10 year Reunion, but I have several very good people working for me. It is really funny to talk to people that I went to high school with, and even funnier to see them. Everyone I have seen looks about 35 pounds heavier than where they were the last time I saw them. Its funny how some people still are in the same cliques that they were in when attending high school. Others who hated me a long time ago seemed to have forgotten their hatred.

Also, I have been busy at the theatre. Lots of shows every weekend. I do 6 (high-energy) shows in a 30 hour period every weekend. The body gets tired. But there is always time for you Blog, there is always time for you.
