Holiday Parking Lot Rules...

Here they are again! The rules to live by when parking during the holiday season:

1. If you pass an open spot, you cannot back up, once passed it is a free space again!

2. If only going to your car to put away packages you must let cars following you know that you are not leaving!

3. When you get into your car to leave please do so in a timely manner...2 minutes!

4. NEVER take up more than one spot...this is just rude!

5. When two cars are waiting for the same spot, the car that arrived first gets the spot. EVEN if the car backing out blocks the car that arrived first from entering right away!

6. If you pull into an open spot and the one in front of it is open there is no pulling through, this can cause accidents!

7. No backing into parking spots, period, end of story!

8. If two people arrive at the same spot at the same time, the first to use their turn signal has the right to the spot!

9. Going the wrong way in parking lots with one way signs is strictly prohibited.

10. When waiting for a person to leave their spot, please give them enough room!

11. You are responsible for your own shopping cart, please return it to the proper place! Not doing this can damage other cars!

12. No holding up traffic while following pedestrians to their vehicles in the parking lots!

13. Be considerate of the other cars that you parking next to!

See you in the morning!

Photo's from Brooks & Dunn

Hello! I took a bunch of pictures on Sunday night at the B&D show, all of Jack Ingram, and Sugarland! They were both great, I didn't really get any pictures of B&D, but of course they were really good too! JD is out due to a thrown out back today, which can sometimes throw us as well because we don't do alot of the regular stuff (battle of the sexes & and now you know), but today we decided to do it anyway! Later this week we will have Daryl Worley on the show too!
Enjoy the pics!

SUNDAY!!!

Lots of interviews today, lots of pictures too..check out some of them! We will be airing a lot of the interviews from the weekend tomorrow, and Tuesday, but just to give you an idea of what has been happening...we are in a ballroom with about 40 other stations, and all of us have been doing interviews for the last couple days. I can only imagine what it is like for the artists to have to talk about the same thing over and over again, so we try to find stuff that they normally don't talk about...The broadcast provides us with what are called "talking points", but everyone gets those, so I will try and check out other stuff as well. Tomorrow morning JD has me going over to the Good Morning America Broadcast site where Sugarland will be performing!! That and we will be playing interviews for you and llots of other stuff too...ssee you then!

CMA'S!!!

Well it is that time again, and we are headed off to the CMA Awards in Nashville. This is always a great time, but there is alot of prep involved too.
We need to send out our equiptment for the broadcast, and make sure that it is all there prior to our arrival. We use alot of JD's equiptment, so he has all of the cases and cables, wires and everything else that he has to bring in to the studio so that we can send it out from the station.
We leave on Friday after the show, and then when we arrive there is a mandatory meeting to make sure that everyone understands what will be happening over the course of the broadcast. Usually after the meeting we will have a press conference with a big country artist, and they usually will perform at least one or two songs.

Our broadcast will begin on Saturday, and we will be recording interviews for Mondays show...We probably talk to about 20 artists a day...some new, some veterans, and usually a few big big stars too. JD will be on the red carpet too! This is going to be a great year to watch it because it is the 40th anniversary, so there are sure to be some great surprises. I will be posting lots of pictures while we are there, so check back often!

Also, thanks for all the emails I have been getting about my surgery. The recovery has been alot better than I thought it was going to be, and the results are awesome! If you want more informaion about my surgery, or the surgeon please feel free to email me at wirkmeg@hotmail.com

See you in the morning!
