Holy Mackerel!!!

"HOLY MACKEREL!!!"

That's what Bryce said when he asked a guy at Pike Market what he'd do if he had $1000, and the guy whipped out $1000 right there.

All the WeHigh students had interviewed folks at the Market, and they found quite a few juicy characters.

Then... back to the radio station on Thursday to work on:

-- celebrating HAT DAY! (Or, trying to. Some of us forgot hats, so it has been rescheduled to Monday. Props to Artur for his ice fishing/polar bear chasing hat. And Molly for looking like she had her Grandma's garden on her head - picture to come.)

-- editing sound. We learned Adobe Audition by editing THE SOUND OF IRENE'S VOICE reciting the lyrics to... yes... Michael Jackson's "Beat It." (Thank you, Beno, for appreciating my guitar solo. And no, folks, the cover will *NOT* be publicly released.)

-- editing the Pike Market voices. Thumbs up to Michelle for (smoothly) lacing ambient noise underneath, so the sound of the interviewee's voice doesn't cut off all of a sudd--

-- Lizzie also went out on the first job shadow. She went with Amy Radil to a city council meeting and learned quite a bit. Stay tuned for more news as more interns tag along with reporters/producers this summer. It's a really great way to see radio in action in the field!

Then, Mr. Friend assigned - *gasp!* - HOMEWORK. (Are we even allowed to use that word during summer?!) Interns are looking for sounds that mean something to them - e.g., water lapping against a deck reminding you of summers on a boat (Nathan's idea), the tinkle of the bell when you enter the ice cream shop where you had your first summer job. Ah, homework.... Hopefully no one is too traumatized.

NEXT WEEK: Keano arrives!
