I have to admit to you dear readers that i am addicted to fallout. I played Fallout 3 religiously until i got every achievement on every level and then i stopped playing for an entire year. But, when a friend offered to let me borrow new Vegas and i stayed up wide eyed playing it, it was clear that i had not overcome my addiction. But its OK, i am really really good at it and i can rationalize my Fallout addiction by pretending its helping me with my survival instincts. Luckily i am not allowed to play when the girl child is awake because she dances in front of the TV the entire time. Anyway! Its a beautiful day so get out there and enjoy the fresh mountain air!

The Weekend Show on 88.1 Weber FM at 11:24 AM Last Saturday was one of my favorite Saturdays ever. I was given the opportunity to make a guest appearance on 'The Weekend Show' to talk about Indie Ogden. I was so nervous since i had never actually even been in a radio station, I've only passed by one...once. All of the equipment and giant window that people can look in is a bit nerve wracking but the guys at the Weekend show really made it easy. After only a few minutes i felt like one of the gang and it felt good to be able to go on the radio and chat about indie Ogden and all the great events happening in this awesome town. The Weekend Show is one one of KWCR's completely student-run radio station operated out of Weber State University in Ogden, Utah.The Weekend guys- Jared, DJ AJ, and Hogie Bear- are hilarious and they love to support local. About 90% of the music that is played on the Weekend show is from local bands and they are always looking for more more talent. If you have a band send your music their way and it may get played on the air. If you don't have a radio don't fret because in this day of technology you can see (yay webcams) and hear The Weekend Show online at weberfm.org, just click listen live. I you didn't catch me on this weekends show (dancing with chewbacca and developing a fear of rattlesnakes) don't panic, i may be back on air soon! Until then head over to the weekend show on FACEBOOK and be sure to 'like' them and check them out every Saturday NOON-2PM on 88.1FM (Weber County, UT) or streaming live at weberfm.org.
