The Good News Thread


Recommended Posts

So, my news:

I was nominated for a Primetime Emmy. It's really just sunk in and it's so damn exciting. I'm a huge Momma's boy and to see my Mom so happy has me feeling pretty great.

Wow! That's huge. Congrats!!

I just got a notification that due to an error, a small bit of my student loans ($1200) has been refunded. I now owe under 10k.

Nice. Do you have the super radio person voice? I always love meeting DJs and finding they can't shut it off or that their voice is simply that way.

Nah, I don't have the stereotypical DJ voice but I know what you're talking about. I constantly get calls from former DJ's looking for work down here.

Found money is the best kind. I can care less about my paycheck most of the time but find $20 on the street? Freaking Awesome. I was out running a couple weeks back and was about to meet my wife and her friend for breakfast. I leaned over a trash can on the boardwalk to spit and sitting in the top of the trash is a $50 bill. After looking around to see if anyone was near that it might belong to and noticing no one, I treated the crew to breakfast. Found money = awesome.

Congrats, Dave!

My good news is that after 6 years of working mostly behind the scenes in radio, I'm finally getting my own show! I'm gonna be hosting a 30-minute alt/punk/ska show on Sunday nights. I'm hoping to get it launched within the next couple weeks- my boss said I gotta land a couple sponsors first.

 

That's awesome, man. Is there any way to listen in over the internet? I'd be absolutely down to listen on Sunday nights.

It's an interesting deal. They got a $60k advance but the rest won't go into play unless they sell 250k in albums. That's a ton for a metal record. Great opportunity for them and great PR for Sony.

That's the same thing I thought. That's a lot in this day in age

Congrats!!  If you need any "underground punk rock" I'd be glad to send my bands tunes your way for free.  ;)
