Somebody call 9-11

Speaking on behalf of Sonia and myself, this goes out to all our fans. Everyone who faithfully listened to our 9-11pm radio show 2005-2006, checked our out of control xanga site, AIMed us with song requests and knocked on the window when we were on-air.

As WBCS's most popular show, we left a legacy that few can contend with. We know that. Which is why we are begging you to help us find a copy of our show.

We know that our brother floor recorded it so they could listen to it after their broomball games. We know that Nick Jones and K-Mac both have CD copies of our first and last shows and keep back copies dating back to the late 80's. We know that we had nationwide listeners that stretched from Frisco, TX to Neenah, WI and a few places in between. Someone's gotta have a copy.

I just heard the song that goes 'California..knows how to party..California..knows how to party..in the city..' You know that song. And I literally flashed back to Skateland in Brooklyn Park, 1997 and remembered changing all the Californias to Minnesotas as I tried to dance on my rollerblades. Lame. Mostly because it could never be true.

I wouldn't say Minnesota really 'knows how to party.' When I think Minnesota, I think of people with slightly less annoying accents than the Upper (you-per that is) who drive the suburban to the cabin every weekend and talk about Firecats, Northerns, and Gary Allen.

So..basically my old boyfriend.

I hope he doesn't read this.

I don't think all of us are like that. I'm certainly not. But I do think the chances that I perfectly described someone you know are pretty high, with that chance skyrocketing if they live outside of the 694/494/94 box of normalcy. and also if you ever met my old boyfriend.

Anyway.

They say you can't have your cake and eat it too. But let me just tell you that today, I plan on going big on my way home. That's right. I'm not making a choice, I'm doing both.

Stopping at Sun Ray on my way to my parent's house.
