This is our fund-raising week at WRIR 97.3 FM, Richmond's only non-profit alternative radio station- after two days we're closing in on $10,000. We've been getting a lot of support and everyone's in good spirits. I'll be mixing bands in-studio every day this week, which (to me) is a blast. Everyone loves me , as well they should-I make things sound good.
One of the really nice girls who does reviews and promos and stuff asked me if I would give her audio engineering lessons. You bet I will. And not just so I can spend hours in a confined space with a smart and pretty girl, oh nooooo, I'm doing it because I could use the help.
Currently it's just two sound guys-I think. The other guy is Bill. Bill is very smart. He's about a zillion times more smarter than I am.But unless we can clone him, he's only one Bill. We need more Bills. (Not the mailbox kind)
I'm great at sound, but I can be a real asshole sometimes. I'm trying harder-I am!
One reason that I don't socialize very well is, um, I'm a lot fucking smarter than most people. I also have a remarkable lack of tact. I have only recently learned that referring to a debate opponent's brain as "a bottomless void from which no light escapes and no logic need apply", is considered rude- even when well deserved.
My bad.
THE MAIN STUDIO
JOHN (L) AND RON (R) BEING INTERVIEWED BEFORE THEIR PERFORMANCE. I''VE KNOWN RON SINCE GRADE SCHOOL, SO IT WAS GREAT HAVING HIM IN THE STUDIO
THEY KEEP ME IN A TINY ROOM FULL OF KNOBS AND BUTTONS. IT'S GOT A SKYLIGHT, WHICH I LOVE.

hee hee letting the numbnuts know they're numbnuts could affect the social life. but, who wants to socialize with numbnuts anyway when you could be talking to people who interest you or you care about or be doing absolutely anything else of remote interest to you? =) numbnuts just give me wrinkles.
