broadcasting live from foothill college

this is kfjc: kfjckfjc
so, i'm way into dj training. i even kind of like the fact that it's on sunday's at 6am. cujo ( i won't give his real name to protect his anonymity) is the perfect person to train me. he is open, laidback, lets me go at my own pace, and i feel totally comfortable with him. The last two weeks have been what they call at the station "freak week" so really, anything goes. last week he played
  • kurt weill
    • and weill themed and inspired
    music (3 hours of german opera would seem like a bit much, but i actually quite enjoyed it.) the whole time, including the entire three penny opera. this week it was all sea shanties. american, german, french, he covered it all. fetching cd's, and vinyl gives me a quick peek at the vast library kfjc has to offer, and it is amazing. This week i got to end the show, and next week when we go back to regular programing, cujo informed me that i will be doing a lot more. i have to admit that i was very intimdated when i first started to mess around in the lower studio, but the main studio is much nicer and easier to operate. Also watching cujo in action and having him make sure i am very hands on is a such a big help. i may just become a real dj yet!

    Self- Dstruction

    Cinequest Film Festival is taking over Downtown San Jose as we speak, and last night I went to the California Theatre to check out Tenacious DTour , a documentary that followed the D on their world tour in support of The Pick of Destiny . A funny thing happened when my friend and I went to pick out seats. We ended up sitting right next to Kyle Gass and his girlfriend. for those of you who aren't familiar with who he is, he's the other guy in the band who's not Jack Black. We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome. He quietly thanked me, and normalcy was restored until a few kids came over asking for autographs. He obliged but soon realized the mini pencil he was given to sign with wasn't going to work. Thanks to my new Andy Warhol Happy Bug Day tote bag, complete with handy organizational top compartment, i had easy access to my pen. I handed it over with great joy, and he was abl

    awaiting the arrival of the great pumpkin

    happy halloween everyone! tonight is the night that all of the little ones have been waiting for all year. i remember being going trick or treating as a kid and the smell of mixed candies and pillowcases, the stomach ache you'd get from consuming 1/2 your bagworth an hour after you'd get home, and protecting what was left of your stash from the hungry hands of those around you. I used to hide a lot of my candy, and then forget about it and find it a year later, gooey and stuck to a notebook in the back of my closet. Now that i am older, however, my halloween usually takes place at a party the weekend before the big day. This year, i once again ventured to Pasadena to celebrate with my friends Liz and Melanie. here is a short re-cap of the trip highlights - to combat my discomfort when flying, i had a few drinks, became very relaxed and accidently left my id on the plane. i needed a new one anyway. the picture on my old one was from, like, 8 years ago. -i re-aquainted myself wit
