Just another day....

I really thought my last post went through, but apparently you need to hit the "publish" button and not just the "save" button.... Anyways, everything I had written two weeks ago is no longer relevent to today and so I will write a new post.

First, I want to mention my ESF class. So, a couple of weeks ago we went into North Beach and checked out some really great places. City Lights, Bocce Cafe, and the French Italian Bakery just to name a few... Click the link below and you'll see the little video I made about our trip.

Tonight we will venture out to the beautiful and magnificent Mission district! ..stay tuned, there are bound to be some great stories....


On another note....

Yesterday was the first day of my new internship! I woke up around 3:40am and was out the door and greeted by a lively and enthusiastic cab driver by 4:15.
The messy hair, lack of makeup, and squinty eyes obviously were not enough to get the point accross that I was in no shape to talk, especially politics. I arrived on the 12th floor, home to 95.7 The Wolf, with a coffee in one hand, and a chocolate chip cookie in the other. Apparently that was a great way to start off my first day on the job, or so the security guard thought/noted. The day began by printing out the morning show grid, and all of the official paperwork that needs to be completed by the Deejays. I was told to go immediately to the on air monitor and make sure all advertisements were placed in the right time slots.... AT&T must air after 5:30am because they pay big bucks for that spot.... etc etc etc. A few things got shuffled during the mid night hours and so we needed to rearange some Shania Twain, George Strait, and Tim McGraw to change the fact that AT&T was going live around 5:27. Next task was to edit some clips from the previous morning and insert them into the server so that they could be added to the show.

easy peesey.

Next, was the start of the morning show! from there I logged all of the topics, screened phone calls and sent them into the deejay studio to be on air, loaded media onto 957thewolf.com, edited sound clips to be played at a later time, and basically every other job done by a producer of a radio station.... when they can actually afford to have one.

I am still shocked by how much power they give me. At any second I can hit a button, turn the deejays off, and start cussing on the radio... Live! ...pretty sweet internship and experience.

Ill definitely be updating you on that.... Especially after Jewel comes to the studio next Tuesday, and Jessica Simpson on march 16th. Ill also let you know when you can expect some appearances on air by ME!

The room the picture is taken from is my studio... The one you can see is where the DeeJays are live broadcasting the morning show. Its a lot better in person, trust me.
