It's 2:15 a.m. in Connecticut. Am I all by myself in the Lounge?

[NightTrain]

If so, that would be a first!

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. I'm here.

:P

[WindRavenX]

2. I'm here

Still muckin' around...

[qnr]

3. I'm here. Actually, I'm working on another virtual desktop, but

my browser is here.

[enigmatic]

4. Doing my overnight radio show right now...

playing "Western Sky" by American Music Club..

[NightTrain]

10. Commercial radio?

If so, you have my sympathy! ;)

[enigmatic]

14. Naaah....

Swore it off years ago! I own my own internet radio station and play whatever I want. And having a blast doing so; I'd never go back to over the air radio..

[NightTrain]

16. I've been involved with a local college station since 1992.

It's a blast, too! I just love being both on the air and free to be who I am and play what I want.

College radio kicks ass, baby!!! :headbang:

[enigmatic]

20. Exactly!

No cookie-cutter crap; play what you want!

[enigmatic]

23. And as an example..

I've played Marvin Gaye, The Last Poets, Helmet, and a vintage "Axis Sally" clip for my last four songs...

[NightTrain]

24. There must be a way to know if you have any listeners.

So...do you? Sure hope so!

[enigmatic]

26. Right now, I've got 193 listeners...

For internet radio, it's not bad..

[NightTrain]

27. Holy shit! That's damned good!

My Internet station rarely has more than 6 or 7 at a clip. How the hell did you attract that many listeners?

[enigmatic]

30. I became a PR Whore for my own station....

Word of mouth, banners, handing out a gazillion business cards, the internet etc....we've been on the air for going on 3 years, but listenership grew steadily; I had to do alot of networking.

We still have dead zone on the sched, but we do ok. I'm having an absolute blast doing this, and we've got a great bunch of DJ's, so it makes it all the better..

[NightTrain]

32. Unfortunately, I may have to take my station down soon.

Having just lost my job, that $35 a month will be damned hard to come by! :(

[NightTrain]

33. Oh, and if any of y'all want to check out my station....

www.live365.com/stations/soulexpressradio

[enigmatic]

36. Right on!

I tell you what; I've got a links page on my station webby and I'll be glad to put a link up; is that cool?

[NightTrain]

37. By all means, link to it!

Thanks!

[enigmatic]

38. You got it!

When I put it up, I'll pm you..

[enigmatic]

34. Oy!

Hey, if you ever want to do a show on my station, let me know; I'm always looking for new shows, and you can pretty much do and play whatever you want.

I'm not doing this for the money; I'm not making any! I just love the idea of free-form radio and how cool it can be; I'd still be doing this, even if I were the only one listening..

[opiate69]

5. I'm here.. and I'm from Connecticut...

but I'm in Washington State now.

[ffm172]

6. just came to work

so I am here. Its 8.15 am where I live

[NightTrain]

13. May I ask where you live?

If you're six hours ahead of Connecticut, I'm guessing you're somewhere in Europe.

[ffm172]

17. Frankfurt, Germany

my work day just started and I haven't done anything yet because of DU :)

[NightTrain]

18. Well, in that case....

Guten morgen! (Ain't sure of the spelling, but the sentiment is there!)

[ffm172]

19. Danke

and you spelled it right.

[Radical Activist]

7. fuck no!

I'm too foul mouthed and dirty to post in the daytime. :)

[ralps]

8. I'm here in Wisconsin

but i'm going to bed soon.
:hi:

[tcfrogs]

9. First of all, you're never really alone in the lounge

But you knew that anyway, right?

I thought you had already signed off for the evening, with your "ATTN LURKING RW'ers" post....:shrug:

[Longgrain]

11. Longgrain's here...for a few minutes more...

I also have to get up for work at 5 AM EST...

What can I say...

[NightTrain]

15. You have to get up in less than three hours?!

Then get your ass to bed, boy! Jesus Christ and His Orchestra....

[Robeson]

12. Nope

[americanstranger]

21. Nope! I just posted a tune for you to listen to.

Look for 'optimistic tune.'

29. Nah! Its almost midnight in San Diego and I still have 3 beers left.

Hows things in New England? My old turf is in MA/NH.

[NightTrain]

31. "Hows things in New England?"

Fucking cold, that's how they are! I can hear the wind howling as I type these words. Plus, in the last five days, we've had two big-ass snowstorms.

Right about now, San Diego sounds nice to my freezing New England butt! :scared:

[opihimoimoi]

35. You are not alone......

[maveric]

39. It was a frosty 67 today. Just miserable weather ya know.

Thank goddess the sun was shining.

[enigmatic]

40. Ha!

Gotta hate that boring San Diego weather;)

[maveric]

41. Fucken brutal man!

Soon the rainy season will end then we'll have 9 friggin months of uniterupted sunshine! Shit! I cant take this anymore! I'm movin back to Lawrence MA!

[VOX]

42. That's weird--it's 2:15 a.m. in California now, and I may be all by myself

Although, if I don't go to bed soon, the East Coast will be rising soon.

Cheers to all night owls, everywhere! :toast:

[enigmatic]

43. Nope, still here doing my show...
