sleepy day.
man, i wish i had NOT had to drive back last night. that was friggin insane. but, i got to talk to not one but two execs at the station, tour the new tcom school's audio production suite (SWEET!), and see one of my favorite (and cutest) execs from my term at ACRN, the fabulous (and talented, and super-smart) Beth B. She hasn't changed a bit... aside from being married, and a professor, and even more talented. (And, she's a secret collector, too...)
I also picked up the ACRN promotional tshirts and buttons I bought last month. The shirts are PINK! Yeah, not just pink, but PINK! like, dont threaten my manliness PINK! Can you tell that girls and alternaguys run the station now? All we wver did before were grey, black, and cheap-ass white.
There's excitement there as the kids brace for moving not just into a new studio in a new building, but also become center of attention in a glassed-in space in the new lobby of the new student center... Theyreally ought to have new equipment. But part of me says they shouldnt have spent the money on LobsterFest this year, but instead made it a rebuilding year and planned for the move.
Hindsight, and all that, now. But I think, with some really well-planned giving programs, they could get new computers, a new server (or two) and a new board. As well as some new furnishings for the new space.
Now's the time to start an aggressive campaign. Well, the time to start was last year, but now will have to do. Think subscriptions. Think equipment. Think computers. Think sound resources. Think rebuilding the Snat costume.
On that note, I gotta get my day started and get out to the Meijer, the post office, the office, and ... who knows where else.
