BIRTHINGS AND BIRTHDAYS!

The 1st ever of the 2009 Weekday High '09s podcasts was born yesterday! BIRTHDAY GIRL Molly and I recorded the hosting material for PodCast #1! We celebrated Molly's B-day with a cake provided by Irene. She made it herself and it was truly good!

Its flavors and decorations might even be said to rival that of the Chef In the Hat's who we were lucky enough to interview about life and his truly amazing culinary skills! Thierry"the Chef In the Hat" Rautureau talked with us about everything from, his Seattle Restaurant, Rover's, five course vegeterian meal all the way too! Using every part of the pig's body minus the eyes and hooves. It was a truly cool experience for all of us!

-Michelle and Keano were hard at work planning next Wednesday's podcast! Which I'd tell you about if I had their consent, but I don't so that could be equated almost to E-Snitchin! Something most definitely forbidden in the Digital Era Etiquette article published by Wired magazine.

-Why do I bring up Wired magazine? Well LIZZIE and I were able to sit in on The Conversation and hear the sounds of a couple of Ice Cold Ones being cracked open, as Ross Reynolds interviewed an assortment of people including Wired Magazine's editor!

-Artur and Lizzie had to brave the heat, as they ventured out to interview a local gargoyle shop owner about her inventory and other things of the gargoyle nature!

-Beno is still at camp! Our best wishes go out to him hopefully being inside an air-conditioned cabin!

As you now know Irene was baking cakes for birthdays all days! But when she wasn't bakin' she was assisting us interns with our works! THANKS IRENE :D

Nathan Friend was "way too saucey," he exclaimed throughout the day! We aren't sure what "saucey" means but we are sure that Nathan is one helluva sound booth controller as he recorded Molly and me in our rantings and ravings! Hey, we were excited! PODCAST #1!!!!!

7/30/09 was a good day and it was awesome and Weekday High 09 is awesome... so pay attention, and please remember to check out our Podcasts which start this MONDAY!

The Mixing Board

It's Official. We finally decided on a name.  Our success was due in part to our creation of a mission statement. So with that in mind, we decided on "The Mixing Board".  Although I think all of us interns were still lobbying for  the title "Genie In a Pod-dle", but for some reason Nathan and Irene weren't too crazy about it. This all went down on Tuesday, the 28th.                                    Here's some other stuff that we did...

-Lizzie continued creating her story on home-made ice cream. I haven't heard it, but I've heard it's quite mouthwatering. 

-Keano began working on our audio introduction. He's a pro at Adobe Audition (the program we use for editing) so we are all excited to hear the final product.

-Michelle began compiling our "voxpops" about hats. Hopefully they will be featured soon on our podcast so you can hear them. They're pretty funny.

-Artur spent the day editing his tour of Thenos Dairy. He got to take a behind the scenes look at the making of the delicious ice cream at Thenos. Is all this talk of ice cream making you hungry?

- And Bryce and I began work on our first Podcast. After tossing around a few themes ( notably "cats hating water"), we decided on childhood memories. I mean, who doesn't have some great (and usually hilarious) memories of their younger days? We will look into one of Lizzie's favorite childhood memories, talk to an expert about the things we remember and maybe include some voxpops. Look forward to that show on "The Mixing Board" next Monday. And if you have a favorite memory to share, leave a comment!

Everything today from getting rejected by the gargoyle lady to watching a tattoo artist bash painters to feeling my own flesh slowly melt off my bones was amazing. It was an editing day today. After I sat in on the Conversation, which was quite exciting, I went downstairs where we all worked on ice cream stories for the rest of the day. I gotta come in early tomorrow to get a head start on my vox pop editing that I'm a little behind on. But I got my tour all done! I'm excited for that to be played live if that does end up happening. And Molly keeps telling me to do a logo for WeHigh. And I want more gelato. Fudge. There's a lot on my mind right now.

No, that's a lie. The only thing on my mind is Nathan singing "Big Rock Candy Mountain." It was mesmerizing.

We got in to KUOW with our recording equipment and started off editing our ice cream interviews. Then I went up to a confrence room and sat in on a meeting "The Conversation" was having for their show on the 28th. Then I went back down to my laptop edited the ice cream audio some more and when 5 pm hit I went over to the on-air studio to sit in on Patricia Murphys shift.
