Back home, the deejay on WOXY was still Pedro from my high school Spanish class. WOXY/97x is one of a dying breed non-corporate-owned (or non-Clear Channel-owned, for that matter) alternative radio stations in the U.S., which means it plays songs other than the five that have been selected to be hits this week. It's also the station from Rain Man- "BAM! The future of rock and roll"- if you recall.

My former high school drama club co-member and friend Dana, I learned, provides the voiceover for the Bally's commercial featuring Kylie Minogue. Her first paid gig other than a bit role on Early Edition. Good for her. Apparently she gets paid relating somehow to the number of times the ad is run, and the damn thing is on every commercial break during the Simpsons, so I presume it's showing alot during the rest of the day. Anybody seen this commercial outside of Chicago?

At the wedding, I sat across from none other than DJ Toad, who was gigging the wedding and sat with us because one of his frat brothers was a guest. This guy eats wedding food about three times a week.

Got a tape in the mail- Kothluwalawa. A band of schoolmates from my high school days. I suppose none of this post makes any sense unless you grew up with me.
