We came, we saw, we rocked!

Well, we completed our first show. I wasn't sure we were going to survive (and unfortunately Erik Schneider did not). After returning to our quarters, licking our wounds from the horrors of our first show, we realized it really was not that bad. The beginning was pretty difficult being so nervous, but I think we rolled through that nicely. In fact, it was probably one of the best experiences of my entire life being able to broadcast music to 50+ people in five different states. Not only that, but everyone was really supportive and was impressed with the job we did. That really means a lot to us (me especially) when we can receive feedback about what we're doing well and what we need more work on.

As expected, we want the show to evolve and continue to improve, and we're already working on a few things to give our listeners a better experience. Next Thursday, John and I are heavily considering adding the 12am-1am timeslot. Also, since it will be Valentine's Day, we would like to play some love songs to really get people in the V-Day spirit. Speaking from experience being an October-born child, I was the product of some V-Day shenanigans so we'd like to foster a great love making atmosphere for all our listeners out there.

John and I have also been talking to some local bands to send us some of their material. We've also subscribed to some cool mags where we can read up on some up and coming artists/bands. John and I are committed to providing the best new music. We will stop at nothing (hence why we've been ignoring the radio station's policy of playing 50% of our playlist from "the stack").

We're really excited the direction things are going, and we expect things to get better. Remember: 11pm Thursday evening; let the Sidewalk Chalk Project get your Valentine's Day shenanigans in motion!
