Making your life easier, through 287-995

One of the greatest things about texting?  It requires very little work on your part.

Something new I thought might help your busy life — text updates / alerts about station events that you may’ve missed on the radio.

Every Thursday, I host The Road at 10pm.  Two hours of live music & conversation with your favorite stars.  Want to know who’s on the show this week, or the next few programs?

• Text “THE ROAD” to 287-995, and you’ll never miss your favorite artist again.

Every Friday, I host the Friday Night Party Patrol at 9pm.  A different bar each week with Miller Lite prizes & specials, plus all-request country music!   Want to know when we’ll be in YOUR neighborhood?

• Text “PARTY PATROL” to 287-995, and I’ll tell you exactly where to find us.

It’s all about making your life easier, and getting the most out of each day.

Make it a great one, and we’ll chat after 3pm.

Wasting time at work

While at work, I think we can all use an extra 5-10 minutes daily, just to re-charge our brains.

Some may call it wasting time.  I call it, well, not working.   To help you meet your daily quota:

** Season 5 of Lost on ABC kicked off Wednesday, and my wife Jill’s Lost Blog 2009 is now online @ my page of US99.com.  You’ll also find the previous seasons’ blogs – everything we Lost addicts need for our weekly fix.

** All Access Week 84 is now posted at US99.com … it highlights all the interviews from last weekend’s Winterfest in St. Charles.  My TMZ conversation with Kellie Pickler, plus Jason Aldean and Jimmy Wayne with L&R.  Perfect for that mid-afternoon non-smoke break.

What’s the best way you waste a few minutes every day?  Your favorite indulgence?

312.591.US99, text 287-995, or e-mail me.

Let’s talk about it, today after 3pm.

A new toy, in the text number 287-995

I like new toys.  One of them arrived in the mail today … the first five volumes in the Bug Me Video collection.

Another new toy that “arrives” today at 3pm?

Our new US 99.5 text number.  287-995.

You can use it to find out the name of a song, to join the conversation, just about anything.

I can’t wait.

287-995. 

Put it in your contacts now, and we’ll chat after 3pm.

Kellie Pickler, Jimmy Wayne & my celebrity TMZ life for a day

Here are a few shots from my broadcast on Friday afternoon, when Kellie Pickler stopped by.  

Can you tell how close and crowded her fans were, in front of our table?  Crazy!

I’m curious if you’ve ever had a TMZ / paparazzi experience, good or bad.

Let’s chat about it, today after 3pm.

My US 99.5 TMZ experience with Kellie Picker!

More of my US 99.5 TMZ experience with Kellie!

Kellie Pickler is thinking, "Why is this man standing so CLOSE to me?"

Kicking off the US 99.5 After Party with Jimmy Wayne!

Why Twitter is more than just the “new tech craze”

I’m still learning the ropes of this stuff, but I like it.  Someone else compared it to a classroom where you never have to raise your hand.  If you’re open to it, you can learn more in a few hours on Twitter, than surfing the web all day searching for the same information.  News, traffic, weather, and often, all before it has hit mainstream channels.

Sign up today, and let’s keep in touch.  Any suggestions on making it better?  Fire away.

Until then, let’s tweet together HERE.

Kellie Pickler is hot for HIM?

What a great afternoon yesterday … a live audience of 120+ from Pheasant Run Mega Center in St. Charles, and Kellie Pickler stopped by too!

She told me about her big plans for 2009, whom she admires most, what movie star turns her ON like no other, and much more!

If you missed our conversation, you can listen to it at the Podcast page.

Stay warm today, and I’ll see you tonight for the US 99.5 After Party with Jimmy Wayne!
