[Kzyxtalk] That makes 1000 shows. One kiloshow. This Friday night.

[Marco McClean]

This Friday marks my /one thousandth/ six-to-eight-hour show more 
information-intensive than the BBC, much less NPR. Local news and local 
writing, world events, poetry, music, science, radio drama, snark where 
snark is due, pleasantly confusing themes and material that makes your 
brain get busy getting bigger. You can actually put your hands on your 
head and feel your brain getting bigger in there.

My schedule's got a little turned around. I have to get my mother from 
the coast to her old friend Jean's house on the other side of Sacramento 
over the weekend so she can have a dental adventure there on Monday and 
Tuesday, so I'm leaving Juanita's place tomorrow, Thursday, to be able 
to do my 1000th (!) Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show in Fort Bragg 
the next night, Friday the 2nd of June, (First Friday).

So if you're of the early-1980s-era Mendocino Community School or the 
late-1980s-era Albion Whale school and/or performed in any of the staged 
radio shows there, or if you performed on the public access Radio Free 
Earth teevee variety show, or ever sent your writing to the late 
Mendocino Commentary or tabloid paper or current radio version of 
/Memo/, or even if you didn't do any of those things but only thought 
about it, and you'd like to drop in and radiate, just show up at KNYO's 
storefront, 325 N. Franklin (next to the Tip Top bar) any time after 9pm 
this Friday and wander in. Bring your musical instrument(s) if you'd 
like to play a few songs. I'll be set up and reading a normal show in 
the back room, as usual, but if it needs it I'll pull an area mic out 
into the front where there's room for you to spread out.

And then /next/ week I'll be doing the show by remote from Juanita's 
place, and then back and forth, just on the even week now instead of the 
odd week.

Memo of the Air, 9pm to about 4am every Friday night on 107.7fm KNYO-LP 
Fort Bragg, including midnight to 3am on 105.1 KMEC-LP Ukiah. Also via 
http:/knyo.org and http://TuneIn.com and etc.

p.s. If you want to do your own show on KNYO, email Bob Young 
<bobb at poetworld.net> and say so, and he'll get you up and running and on 
the schedule so fast it'll make your head swim. It's easy and fun. Do 
your show from KNYO's storefront or, with surprisingly inexpensive 
portable gear that we can help you assemble, from anywhere there's 
reliable web access.

p.p.s. It's pledge week at NPR. If you're tempted to donate to a 
high-power station, like KZYX, say, that already gets a six-figure 
government grant every year to pay all its expenses and mysteriously 
inhales well over half a million dollars in that same year in an 
apparent nearly-30-years-running money laundering scheme and still 
scoffs cruelly at the idea of paying its airpeople even as much as a 
pinch of salt, righteously resist that temptation by giving instead to 
KNYO, where every cent you give goes to the rent, connection bills, 
various music publishers' fees, electricity for the lights and the 
transmitter, and the famously expensive Fort Bragg city water to flush 
the toilet. There's a large red heart at http://knyo.org that says 
/donate/. Click on that and follow your own large heart. Help the 
wonderful and recently bereaved Bob Young keep us in town and on the air 
(and water in the toilet) for another decade, or the singularity, 
whichever comes first.
