You can't compress a day like this with Lempel-Zif!
I have about 10 minutes or so before my ride arrives to skirt me to my living arrangements for the weekend. So I have a lot to braindump and not a lot of time. Here we go.
The radio show went well. Joe Gentile, the owner of the show, took part in the talk for about 20 minutes. I got a whole hour to talk about the media to four whole counties in the Chicago area. Schwing!
I also got interviewed by Media Minutes. Thanks John.
Also, I saw Mr. Donahue again right after the public file challenge. He recognized me as having met in Urbana. Brief conversation between us is as follows.
Me: Kalamazoo, WWMT. Donahue at 5pm. I would watch it every day when I went to work.
Phil: Ah, well. You turned out okay anyway.
Me: It happens.
And tres cool: I ran into former FCC commissioner Nicholas Johnson -- in the elevator of all places. I had a lot to talk to him about (the connections to Iowa City, the rampant quote quoting, the FCC stuff).
Triple word score: I asked a really cool question to Mr. Paul Jay about his new incipient project, and he gave a great and inspiring answer. The room was packed with the elite of the media democracy movement.
Oh, and that whole episode of the Democracy Now action outreach where we had banner and posters out on the streets during rush hour; that went well with some outreach (the timing wasn't good, we could have gotten more people, damn!). I got some of it on tape. Plus, some -- ahem -- rather provocative photos that I'll almost certainly never share. ;-)
I'm probably missing something I should write about, but I'm out of short term memory and almost out of time.
