... which is unusual for me, but, I'll try my best!

Anyway, you may have seen in the paper that I got a production job at KYW. This is probably confusing to most people - which I understand.

But the important thing here is that you all know that I am still a part of Y100Rocks.com - and I made sure I could do that before accepting the job - I just won't be able to do daytime airshifts anymore for obvious reasons.
HOWEVER - I still support the campaign to bring a modern rock station back to Philadelphia, and I still strongly believe in everything that Y100Rocks.com stands for. Don't think for a minute that I've given up on any of that.

So why KYW?

As I told them in my interview, KYW is not just a radio station - it's a Philadelphia institution. And frankly, I'm proud to be a part of that. It'll be a challenge for me, but challenges are what make life interesting.

This also affords me the opportunity to stay in the Philadelphia area - I grew up here, I love this town, and I don't think anywhere else compares; My mom & dad are still here, my brother is here, Otispunk (the band I'm in) is here ... and Y100Rocks.com is here too.

So, really - I have a job at a reputable radio station, I have the opportunity to continue working with Y100Rocks.com, and I get to stay close to the people I care about. What more could I ask for? (Well, besides that all of the former Y100 staffers find gainful employment soon, and that someone realizes that we need a modern rock station in Philadelphia, and REALLY EFFIN' SOON!)

But don't lose faith - I haven't.

UPDATE:
Talk about hitting the ground running ... I've never been this busy in my life at any job! Wow. Someone asked about me doing airshifts at night on Y100Rocks.com. Perhaps at some point soon I can - but I want to get settled in first. It's just totally different from Y100, and I have to adjust. But I literally have been so inundated with work, that it took 3 days of being there for me to get enough time to fill out the paperwork that they give you when you start a job. Seriously. I was right - It's a challenge! However - I am enjoying the job and the work - there's just a lot of it.
