Maybe I could ask you for some advice on getting into public radio some day? 🙏

Anytime! Talking community radio is one of my fave things. My initial advice is just keep showing up. They'll find a use for you eventually.

And KEXP is so amazing! You're lucky that you'll get to volunteer there regularly. I do some work with the rotation remotely each week, and I come up to work as a room supervisor during the pledge drives. But for 8 years I was there at least one day a week.

I wish! Las Vegas is not a big migratory location. We get some, of course, but you really have to seek them out. With a four year old, I don’t get out birding as often as I’d like. I love Seattle for birds! Cedar Waxwings! Swoon.

Ah yes, the Cedar Waxwings are gorgeous! Having to look a little bit harder for them this year, at least at my usual spots, but worth the effort :)

I never did this on the old forum, so here’s to new beginnings.

I’m in the midwest - Dakota territory - and my primary job is chasing after, feeding, reading to, and just generally keeping alive and happy my two boys (3 & 1). In my “free time”, I am finishing my dissertation on post-WWII British and Irish fiction. In reality, though, I spend all my free time playing my drums, which has been my passion since long ago, listening to jazz records, or watching superhero movies with my wife.

Um, other interests include: gardening and environmental sustainability, yoga for dudes, biking (as in bicycles), and nba basketball. Happy to be here and thanks to all who made this new forum happen.

I grew up at Ellsworth AFB/Rapid City in South Dakota.

Amazing, thank you so much! I'll get started on making myself a more familiar face there ASAP :D
 
Hey all.

I used to frequent the VMP forums (as Casey) with regularity between 2016-2018 but took a break when I discontinued my VMP subscription after I hit a rough financial patch.

I went to grad school for film editing, but the long hours of the industry starting eating away at my health so I'm transitioning into a career in the natural food industry. Grew up just south of Denver, but have been in LA for 12-13 years. It's home.

I'm a hoops junkie and just about the only dude from CO that cares more about the Nuggets and Avs than the Broncos. Hobbies also include story driven video games, blogging about music and backpacking. I have a propensity for coffee, snark and grassroots activism.

Hip-hop, down-tempo electronica and indie rock are the fetishes. Talking Heads, Radiohead, Kendrick, Outkast and Nicholas Jaar the holy grail.

Yeah, you're the one who recommended Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo as a movie to watch before I died.

Film editing is an invisible art. Sorry to hear it didn't work out.

Grew up in Colorado, so I'm a huge Nugz and Avs fan. The future is looking bright in those arenas, my friend.
