Updates...

Hey y'all. I'm still here, just busy, 'at's all.

I thought I'd check in with an update as to what's happening around these parts...

DJ bidness: Quite frankly, I'm busy as a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest. Work is busting out all over the place. I'm not complaining, though. The extra money is nice to have. We'll use it on a nice vacation later this year to someplace with palm trees and bikinis.

Social engagements: I don't have a lot of time these days for socializing, but at the end of February, a bunch of us radio geeks gathered at Manuel's Tavern to talk about how we'd do everything better than the guys on the air and in charge. We had a great time, and it also gave Art and me a chance to meet up earlier in the day for pizza at Savage Pizza in Little Five Points.

I also finally met a lovely young lady named September Day. We'd been e-mailing for a while, so when the Radio-Info get together happened, I invited her. September is a successful voiceover artist who you heard on the most recent MTV Video Music Awards Show. Here's her website. She's an awesome person, and someone that I hope will be a lifetime friend.

Southside Steve from Rock 100.5 also came to our party. It was great to meet him, and he was very informative and knows the radio game inside and out. Gary Lewis (market manager) and Rob Roberts (Q100 PD) from Cumulus Atlanta also came along, and I was very happy to shake their hands and personally thank them for putting an end to 99X.

Tornadoes: Enough of this shit already. High winds, blinding rain, ice-cube size hailstones. Knock it off! My son Brandon and I were in the truck Saturday afternoon on our way out of "Horton Hears a Who" (excellent movie) when the hail started. We blew into high gear and got under the entrance overhang at the Hampton Inn until the coast was clear. His comment? "I nearly crapped my pants!" Me too, buddy.
