Everything is late today, as I took my Veteran’s Day yesterday in order to recharge my batteries. We, as in KCSB-FM, are about to head into our annual on-air fundrasier, which is, under normal circumstances, a bit stressful. Trying to raise money while the economy is in the toilet… well, the next ten days should be very interesting.
And for those of you saying to yourselves, “But aren’t you in Santa Barbara where money abounds?” Let’s just say that the folks in Hope Ranch aren’t exactly our primary listening audience.
I’ll try to add band links when I get some down time.

This show is live today, as I didn’t have time to pre-produce it last night. The podcast will be uploaded at some point today, depending on how the day goes.
So I really wanted to do an Election Day show, but we had a little incident in Santa Barbara that sucked the remaining energy I had right out of me. My better half and I were at a wedding in San Diego last weekend (our fourth wedding in two months, and the third wedding San Diego). We drove back Sunday night, arriving home at about 10:30pm.
I left for work at about 8:20am, and all streets leading to work were backed up, as there was a gunman on a freeway overpass. Police stopped traffic on the 101 FWY entirely, forcing those of us who were fortunate enough to not have gotten on the freeway before 8:15am to stay on side streets. This turned my 10-15 minute commute into an hour and 45 minute commute. During the first hour, I would have made better time walking.
I got lucky, as I know people who got stuck on the 101 FWY for almost three hours. So, yeah, all around it was a great morning.
For those wondering, the gunman was an Iraqi War veteran who apparently had some kind of mental breakdown, and it appears his gun wasn’t loaded and no one was harmed.
Lastly, GO VOTE!!

The playlist for this week.
My apologies to listener Ed from Dallas, TX, as he was kind enough to donate to KCSB in anticipation of our annual membership drive, which officially starts on Nov. 12th. I owe you a shout out, and it is coming.

Yet another week, yet another playlist. Stay tuned, however, as I have already laid out the plans for a killer Halloween edition of NonDescript for the Oct. 28th show. It’ll be SCARY. No, it’s not an hour’s worth of Nickelback… that’s the wrong kind of scary.
