_______________________________________________
I should’ve know this would be a fun show when I pulled in front of KBOO and was instantly dwarfed by two GIGANTOR tour buses belonging to RZA and the Wu Tang Clan. Got some phone calls during the show, one guy said he was calling from a convenience store that he was in the middle of robbing, and then asked if KBOO needed some of the money. Yes, I said, bring it on by! *SMIRK*
For next week’s show I’m going to pick the transitions i’m most proud of so far, and assemble something that looks like a BEST OF. This is normally something you do years down the line when the host has taken ill, but I’m going to see my family over the 4th and they want to know what my show sounds like.
