That's really cool. You should post that out on the main part of PA. Hell, I wouldn't even be reading this section except that I'm jealous that I can't make it to the Spa.

Thanks everybody. I'm really psyched to be able to do this.

Webcasting might be a little far to go for a little, small, CBS affiliate that is known for playing elevator music! I'll check to see if we have the technology to be able to get this on the Web, but I seriously doubt it.

Hi all...
Yep, we're all pretty proud here of how Bubbles is doing... air time anywhere is pretty significant... however...
Car service is ONE way... back TO the track in my Neon! Seriously, thanks to you guys for agreeing to help him out... looking forward to hooking up with all of you again this year...

Good stuff, that lil Gig while in High School, can earn you a top notch Internship in College. If You send him to YALE it's a short skip and a jump to ESPN studio's in Bristol... :jump: :jump:
Bub's invited me along intially. Small Studio and other factors caused him to PM me back and say CJ and PA would be in studio and they'd call me in , on the phone.
When the phone don't ring, I'll know it's him!.... :D :D

Suff...
Just to make a few things clear: It would probably be more convenient for both you and cj to be on the other line, and just me in the studio. No offense, cj, but I don't want you driving an hour and a half south starting at 6:00 AM, probably earlier, when you're home from Belgium. More enjoyable and convenient that way.
PA has also said he is unwilling to talk on air, lol. Which is probably good.
I would have asked whether he or his wife was the better handicapper in the family. :p

PA's a sally, who probaly came up with two sound reasons not to do it...and that made enough sense for him to not do it.

PA?
50 years from now, when your old and grey , in a nursing home.and sitting in a Wheel Chair, and Bubbles is the next Howard Cosell...........What are you going to say?

For those interested, I made my official debut this morning. I've found out that we do indeed have the technology for a call-in interview. If I can, I'll try to get a transcript of it up after it happens.
16 days until Saratoga!

Bubbles,any updates on the show?Links etc. My 1st e-mail question is "What do you think about Abbodanza?" :D Just joking.BOL-fill us in.-KC
Bubbles

Abbondanza...great memories of Beyer. "IS THERE MASS HYSTERIA ABOUT?!":D...for those not following, get to a transcript of Beyer's Breeder's Cup chat last year. The guy asking about Abbondanza is me, lol. And once again, Beyer was wrong, he DID make the early lead. :lol:
In regards to the show: This station is the smallest of small. I don't even think there's a website for it. I'm going to try to archive two call-ins I'm trying to line up. One is going to be with Suff and CJ to hype this site CJ's pace figures, and track season. The other is going to be with poster TravisVOX, who has an Internet show you may have heard about in General Handicapping. I can try, note the try, to get the audio and/or transcripts of the interviews on this site once they're done. Getting audio from a radio station to the web isn't exactly my forte, but if I can get pointers from all you webmasters, I'll see what I can do.
Signing off from radioland,
Bub's

Suff and cj...
If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to schedule you guys for Wednesday, August 24th, the Wednesday of Travers week. If that's a problem, please notify me.

Bubs.
That fine,,, Unless something or someone else comes up. E.g. Purple power. If he and CJ (or the equivialent) are available then I'll step out. I have nothing to offer that anyone of a 100 guys could give you. For fun,and memories I'll do it. I know CJ is on a 3 week cruise through Europe right now...so you may not get an answer from him right away. I'm just getting back from 4 days on the road. Thanks
