My volenteer work for a little local broadcast radio station in my neighborhood has begun.

Basically it involves sitting in a tent, drinking beer, and handing out info & merchandise to people who come up to say hello, or ask about one of the promotions the station is running- at this point, due to limited availability of the goodies, give to those who really do listen to the station (kinda reverse marketing in a way, shouldn't they be reaching out to those who don't know about the station??)

But this station had a small little tent set up at the summerfest grounds & me and a couple other guys sat around for 4 hrs on saturday night manning the thing.

In that 4 hrs, maybe 6 people who knew about the contest came up & got what they needed to enter.

Maybe 20 other people came up. Of these 20, squonk and mrs squonk came up to hang for awhile, my buddy mot and his wife came up to hang before going to Tom Petty, and one of the other guys had 3 people come up that he knew.

The remaining 13 people asked the following questions:

"Is this the gate to the bus?"

"Can I get 2 chicken burritoes?"

"Wherez Cheap Trick Playing?"

"Does anyone have a lighter I can use?"

"Can we use that back table to change our baby's diaper?"

"Wherez Cheap Trick Playing?"

"Wherez Cheap Trick Playing?"

"I never heard of this station, are you giving away free stuff?"

"Give me a goddamn bumper sticker!"  

"Why don't you guys play jazz like you used to? I hate this station now!"

etc etc

oh and a little jewish lady in a red boa did a little dance for us, tho the only music playing was that within her head.

I'm hoping the next outing, kinda a jazz at the park thing, will be a bit less entertaining.
