Weekends, whenever. I also do that Big Hair Wednesday show (oddly enough, it's on Wednesday...from noon to 1pm). As my "day job," I also write & produce commercials for the sales department about patio rooms, horse feed, foam insulation, naughty video stores, etc. I'm also a proud pet owner. I have two big cats that were both about four years old when I adopted them. If you are considering a pet, please also consider adult animals. I've never owned a dog, but in the case with cats, they are already litterbox trained and have developed personalities (so you can figure out if you'd be compatible or not). Please adopt from a shelter and give a dog or cat a shot at having a nice, full life of love. Here is a link to a terrific local no-kill shelter for felines: The Scratching Post. Also www.petfinder.com is a great site for all pet adoptions. |

Bio
I started out working part-time for (then) Jacor Communications in January 1994 and did my first WEBN promotions gig in May 1995...started driving around in the 'EBN van, pulling over at gas stations and fast food restaurants and handing out stickers to the masses. In the fall of that same year, the boss decided to put me on the air, probably out of desperation, but 14+ years later, I'm still here... When I was in the 5th or 6th grade, I had my own WEBN club because I was the only rocker girl in my school. There were a few other boys that wanted to join and I put them through an exclusive initiation process where they had to pass difficult written tests about rock 'n roll and jump over balance beams with their shoestrings tied together 'n stuff. If you were one of those boys, I'm sorry.
