[Kzyxtalk] MOTA: Good Night Radio all night long!! Pre-Armistice Day Sale edition.

[Marco McClean]

Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio tonight!

Tonight, Friday, November 8, from 9pm to 5am I'm reading Memo of the Air 
by live remote from Juanita's apartment, /not/ from the back room of the 
KNYO performance space at 325 N. Franklin, next door to the Tip Top bar, 
so consider showing-and-telling in person at KNYO /next/ week, Friday 
the 15th, when I'll be there for you, just like the /Friends/ theme 
song, just like an easy chair. Which reminds me, coming up: /Armistice 
Day, Armistice Day/, (Monday) on which, at the purple sailor 
hour-and-minute, the guns of the war to end all wars, the war so 
horrible that war could never again be considered an option by anyone 
with a brain in his head, because everyone saw that the men responsible, 
who benefited from the mess, who in palaces hundreds of miles away from 
the suffering and choking and bleeding out and dying, sat in perfumed 
luxury eating steak and sipping champagne and making googly eyes across 
the table, finally stopped, and how great it is all /that/ is over and 
we've finally grown up as a species, not to be taken advantage of and 
ruined in exactly that way in present and future. A hundred years of 
lovely peace and advancement. Imagine, if we hadn't learned that 
important lesson. Tch.

Deadline to get your writing on tonight's show is about 7pm. If that 
comes too soon for you, send it whenever it's ready and I'll read it on 
next weeks' show.

In addition to lots of pertinent music, bits of everything interesting 
I've been reading all week, science/tech/doom/delight newsish items and 
evocative examples of fine writing by bona fide pros, there are multiple 
locally generated gems of con-tent including poetry by Craig Stehr, the 
beginning of a series of stories by children in Jay Frankston's classes 
over the years, not to mention poetry and prose and prose-poetry by Jay, 
romance by Paul Modic, computer generated word art, and more. A bang-up 
show. I'll try not to screw it up by missing my nap and being all cranky 
like last week.

Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio: Every Friday, 9pm to 5am on 107.7fm 
KNYO-LP Fort Bragg, and 105.1fm KMEC-LP Ukiah. Also there and anywhere 
else via http://knyo.org and click on Listen.

And you can always go to https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com and hear 
last week's (cranky) show, and shows before that. By Saturday night, the 
recording of tonight's MOTA will also be there, in the latest post, 
right on top.

Also as usual there are tons of leftover educational wonders there at 
the weblog to poke at and examine while you wait for tonight, such as:

An exercise in a simple but effective editing technique.
