Weekly Report from Boulder
Is it just me or is this an unusually busy time for everyone? We have so many additional projects going on it just adds to the craziness. Last week we had our 'mock' FCC Inspection. Our local broadcast association gives us the ability to go through an inspection process so that we know everything is in order how the FCC likes it. It used to be this meant the FCC couldn't just walk in and start poking around, now it just assures things are how they like them. I somehow got drafted to be the Chief Operator on record so I get to take part in the process. Thankfully we passed with far less ado than the last time we went through the process.

The other big project is preparation for the Book and Record Sale coming up here at the station on August 28. We seem to have a lot more CDs this year, so despite two sessions spent sorting them, I still have a ways to go before sale day. Well it's one way to get out of the office!

The only concert of last week was Smokey Robinson. My Motown roots give me a soft spot for his music. So I was thrilled to hear him sing 'Tears of a Clown' and 'Tracks of My Tears' even if he missed 'Ain't That Peculiar,' 'Mickey's Monkey' and '(You Gotta Walk and) Don't Look Back.' I see on All Music Guide that they need thirty pages to list all his songs! He's quite the showman with a bit much of a Las Vegas feel but it was fun to finally see another Motown original and to enjoy the show with a good diverse Denver audience.
