. . radio free anne . .

I had a nice interview over at Chicago Public Radio on Tuesday and yesterday they called to offer me a part time internship position for the next 8 (or so) weeks, executive producing a two hour block of programming that will air on Vocalo/89.5 in mid-August. It will be almost entirely put together with contributions from their intern pool, and contributions from their user-generated upload site. Two hours is a lot – had to take a deep breath there for a bit, but it is going to consist of 6 twenty minute blocks on 6 different topics, which kind of makes the whole thing seem a lot more manageable. Kind of like life does, when you break it down one week at a time. For this I will be paid the grand sum of $0, which is the going intern rate. I am very proud to be making my first foray into the extremely lucrative world of radio. Watch me go!

AND I’m going to do my regular job as well, which basically means that whole lazy summer idea of long walks by the lake? GONE. But it is all for the good.

I’ve also been spending the last several nights catching up with one friend at a time, and I’d love to tell you all about the drunken evening that consisted of cosmopolitans and Katie grabbing her boobs on my back deck, but that would be blowing our sober and sophisticated cover. All I will admit to is that I have drunk more liquor in the last three days than I consumed in all of Maine. IT’S GOOD TO BE HOME.

HOME.  Absolutely thrilled.

Made it as far as Maumee, Ohio – home of the Mac Daddy Antique Mall, which will be visited in the a.m.
