November 5th 1955

Saturday, August 30th, 2008 @ 9:11AM

I remember it like it was just yesterday.

X96 and City weekly will be bringing you Back to the Future on the last Wed in September.  Its free (but they like you to buy some food while you are there) If you didnt come to Grease this last Wednesday you have to come this next time.  It will be AWESOME. These movie nights are the most fun that I have. I’m not sure if Kerry Bill and Gina will be attending but make plans to be there. 
We will probably have an 80’s costume contest and some other Back to the Future oriented activities. 

A special thanks to my Former Intern Trevor who sent me this picture.

My House May be Haunted

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 @ 8:39AM

OOOoooooOOOOoooooooooooOOOOOh.

Yesterday I found out from my mailman (Monte, a BFOP) that someone killed themself in my house.  In the sunroom.  My favortie room of the house.  She apparently did it with space heaters in an enclosed area CARBON DIOXIDE. No one told me! Maybe I wouldn’t have moved in if I knew that dead people were there.  How do I know that the dead ghost of the woman isn’t wandering around?  Now I feel like there is a spirit of the woman all around the house.  I keep looking around corners and into the darkness. Its weird. WEIRD! I am going to find out about the woman. Why she did what she did? More to follow....

If you liked the Tex Murphy Series check this out!

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008 @ 7:11AM

So COOL!

Growing up I used to be obsessed with the Tex Murphy series.  It was produced by a local software company (Access Software) who was sold to Microsoft which all but stopped the making of more Tex Murphy series games.  It was an adventure game where you got to be a detective, it was complete with the spying on a cheating husband, attack from a clown, and sweet talking your way into a womans apartment.  My family would play these games for weeks until we beat it, and the best part was depending on how you chose to act the story would change...so you never knew if you really beat the game or if your story just ended.  It was Awesome.  Well, I wish at this point that I could say that another in the Tex Murphy series was coming out soon, but, this game “Three Cards to Midnight” is going to be AWESOME. Check out the trailer that they released over the weekend.

Why college is hard..

Thursday, August 21st, 2008 @ 10:31AM

Well...

The funniest thing about this whole return to college thing, is that I remember how easy school is, but the reason that they give you a degree is because you make your way through all the red tape that comes about with going to college.  I have to get shots, i have to get a parking pass, I have to be approved for the classes that I am in, I have to...blah blah blah.  But I now have my schedule. 2 classes for this first semester.  Media Texts and Principles of Visual Communication.  Should be very informative and the best part is they are back to back.  If you have taken these classes..let me know..I would be interested to hear feedback. Wahoo...!  More stories to follow...I am sure.

I am a Utah Man Sir

Ahhhhh.

Its a busy time for all of us here at X96.  5000th episode celebration, then to San Diego, Snowbird later this week, Bill watching grease at Brewvies next week (your invited) Then....Then I promise we will return to doing our show from here in the studio with some sort of regularity.  I’ve enjoyed all the travelling though.  Its a pretty cool job that allows me to be able to travel and work.  It’s funny how you never end up quite where you think that you will.  5 years ago I would have never guessed it.  Even three years ago.  A quick run-down of things going on.
1. New XMarket Shirt going up this next monday
2. A Geek Show podcast Shirt for Xmarket
3. Training new interns you will meet on the air this week
4. Booster leaves in 11 days
5. I start at the University of Utah on Monday....! I am a Utah Man Sir

RFH 5000 Shirt Available for a limited time only

For about a year I have worked to get XMarket online.  It’s a place to get cool X96 themed t-shirts that you will NEVER see given away for free.  Right now you can get the Radio From Hell 5000 Ringer Tee (As Pictured Above) Or check out the Artiecrombie and Fuf T-shirt. You will want to check online every couple of weeks.  Already in the works is a Geekshow Podcast Shirt, A RFH Podcaster Shirt, a Radio From Hell Hoodie, and I have a shirt that I will be putting out there pretty soon too....

It’s all thanks to our friends at AdvancedApparel.com

What is/was your favorite part of the 5000th Episode Celebration

Thursday, August 14th, 2008 @ 1:08PM

Favorite?

There have been a variety of fun things that have gone on this week on the the show.  I think that my favorite part has been to hear of the disdain that Kerry and Bill have for the old bits that they used to play.  But I am curious, what have you liked?  Has it been so self-indulgent you cant listen? Have you loved every minute of it?  Just curious to hear your feed back.

Remember if you missed any of it you can go to x96.com or to Itunes and get the whole show.

No Scary Poppins for me

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008 @ 7:30AM

What to do?

I found out last night that I will not be in the next show at the Desert Star Theatre.  I have been there for the last 3 years without a break and have not been cast in the next show “Scary Poppins”. It seems kinda weird. I suppose my fault was to think that I would be there as long as I wanted to be. But I suppose that is the nature of the beast as they say.  I hope to look back at this and figure out why it worked out that way.  My plans for the next couple months
1. Lose 10 lbs.
2. Finish writing the musical that I have been working on for 4 years
3. Begin the mormon podcast
4. Miss the Booster
