Meet You in Evanston

Sam here - from Woods Hole, MA. Gearing up for Third Coast. This is my third year in a row at Third Coast. Three years ago, I was working in education with youth and came to check out the radio scene. And I'll admit here, that I left Chicago with a crush on all of you. Last year, I went to Third Coast as a student -studying radio at Salt. And this year, my third year, I come as a rep from Transom and Atlantic Public Media. Bliss. My experience of Third Coast and of radio, in general, is that radio people are generous. They are happy to share - their love of radio, their knowledge, their advice. And they'll encourage you along if you love radio too.
I'm SO looking forward to seeing you all in Evanston. And if you can't make it (or even if you can) keep tabs on things by following along here. Robin Amer & Greta Pemberton from Open Source, Alex Chen from Chinatown Youth Radio and I will be blogging our hearts out. Send us your thoughts and questions.

Comments on This Entry:
Greetings everyone! We're almost ready, but there's still much to do. As I write this, I'm compiling the music playlist for the opening night reception (and deciding how many 50 cent remixes I can get away with in the mix), stuffing folders, and bouncing the pledge drive episode of Re:sound for Saturday. Yep, the WBEZ pledge drive falls right on the conference this year. I'm even scheduled to duck out and pitch on the air during the week. If you're not doing three jobs at once, you're not in public radio.
Thanks to the Transom blog corps for chronicling the proceedings once again. You rule.
Can't wait to see old friends and make some new ones. If you see me running around like mad, be sure to pull me aside and say hello.
