Ahhh...Spreadsheeting

Good morning my little popsicles! Today marks the first day of web reporting for WCSB. This will ensure that the FCC gets every penny they can out of us for playing the music you love to hear over the internet. That's right, it's not free! So, for those of you who are listening at wcsb.org, remember us during this year's Radiothon! If I seem a bit distant from you today, it's because I've got my nose in an Excel spreadsheet, doing my darnedest to keep the MAN informed!

JJ Magazine, at WCSB and at the B-Side!

Hey ya'll! I totally forgot to post these HOT pics from JJ Magazine's visit to Popsicle Industries in January. Since I'm at the home office today, I figured I'd post 'em and remind you that their CD release party is tomorrow night at the B-Side with Baby Dayliner and DJ Mike Filly. "The Mag'" will be playing out a bunch this month, but this is the next one I'll be at, so there!
