Friday...was. It was fun. I had a pretty decent head cold, so it made perfect sense to me to just go in early and help out with FuseROCK intead of going home to think about how yucky I felt. I had a blast. Editing music feels tedious but not when you're hanging out with Josh and Sara (who, by the way does not spell her name with an "h." I apologize for the typos).
When it came time to record my show, I realized that the paper detailing all of my show prep was still on my kitchen counter. Josh graciously offered to share his with me--which included a story about Korea genetically engineering glow-in-the-dark pets. I am completely serious. Google it. I was able to remember most of what I wanted to say though--in the future, I plan to use GoogleDocs for all show prep. :)
The show went well. I think. I couldn't really hear myself. Or much of anything else. But it was fun. And it's getting easier and I am gearing up for next weekend's already. I do plan on listening to this week's show, but not in the creepishly obsessive way I did last week. I need to listen to it to see where things are improving and where they could be better.
I wish I could accurately describe what it feels like to be there. It is such a mellow atmosphere--but fun and buzzing with excitement at the same time. Unless it's just me doing the buzzing. It has been really cool getting to know both radio and the amazing DJ's I had listened to and admired for so long. They're even starting to feel like regular people to me now. :)
So, I'm holding my breath only a tiny bit for this weekend's show. And surprisingly already looking forward to Monday. :)
