i go home to sleep and check my mail...

so I am occasionally there.
Sup, ya'll? Things are swimming along in the lou. Work is OK. Slower in the summer, but it means I don't have to 'take it home' with me, and I can focus on other things after I leave the office. So I have done some training at our local radio station KDHX in basic audio stuff and event team goings-on. Hopefully with the event team, I'll be able to get into some concerts for free and represent the station. Whoo! I love getting into shows for free! I got to take a little tour of the station itself, which was neat-o cause I hadn't been in it yet. It's small, but I like it. I also met with the editor of a local website called Playback:STL. It used to be a magazine, but they went web-only a couple of years ago. It's mostly dedicated to music, though not exclusively. I'm basically going to start covering the local scene for them. Long term, I'll be a main local-music news content writer, and I will spotlight bands and interview them for the site. And review CDs and go to concerts. They sponsor a big three-day music festival in September, so that's their big push right now, and I'm board with that now. We're working on finding corporate sponsors, picking bands, organizing the venues, etc. It's quite a big festival, so there is a lot to do. I think I'm going to be like the main sponsor liason, to make sure they are taken care of and whatnot. It's totally exciting and very time-consuming already. I will probably be a little nuts the week before the festival, but I will get to meet sooo many people and it'll be sooo fun! I'm also trying to work on my music blog, but it's all kinda related so once things get going with Playback, I'll have more to put on my blog. Anywho, that's the gist. I saw the Dark Knight last weekend (SO. AWESOME.) and went to a pool party. I decided to try and not eat any added sugars/corn syrup/etc. for a week and see how it goes. It's actually been better than I thought. The only sugar I've eaten is from fruit really. I'm not nearly as hungry as I thought I would be, and I think it keeps my blood sugar more stable. I'm so excited for vacation!! It will be so much fun! This is the worlds longest post, and I still have work to do, so I'll go....

http://playstlfest.com/ --That's the website for our festival. If you happen to know anyone who would like to help sponsor it, let me know. :)

Laters!
