Working the Fall '10 KHSU fundraising drive

Had a team of coworkers with me from NCIDC working the phones at KHSU this morning. I spent an hour on the air from 8-9am, following President Rollin Richmond's segment*.  I was worried that I would choke on the air, but it went pretty smoothly, the time flew by, and I think we reached our goals in both of the hours I worked! Did you hear my segment? Comments, good and bad, both accepted with grace, dignity, and a lot of beer after work. :) (the chocolate was a bribe for one particular coworker who is not pictured, except for the hand holding the gold foil-wrapped chocolate cigar, you have to guess who that is).

* Rollin gave me my first look at the new Android phone during a break.  He just switched from an iPhone and I was very interested to see how similar it was to the iPhone.  The big plus for him is he does not have to deal with AT&T reception any more, the Android works on Verizon!

Donate to KHSU, support public radio!  

Buddy Brown Blues Festival a Rousing Success!

I am proud, (as a member of the mysterious P3LF), to announce that the Blue Lake Blues Society, (an unorganized disorganized chapter of the Humboldt Folklife Society), has earned $3,977 from the donations and net revenues of the Buddy Brown Blues Festival held on August 8, 2009. These funds are to support the Humboldt Folklife Society's "Folk People" childrens music program (please recite this paragraph 5 times, as quickly as you can).
 
It was a great day, wonderful weather, 7 fantastic local blues bands, and one of the best, if not the best of the last nine festivals.  Special thanks to the Blue Lake Casino for their reoccurring support of this event.
 
See you all next year!
