Thursday 3:30 - 5:00
Ah yes, Spring 2002. Our first season on the air. If memory serves me correct, we quickly got the hang of things and did some interesting things. Well, maybe not, but it was fun enough to bring us back again. It was a rotation show, and as such there wasn't much room for original stuff. I only have scraps of paper left over from these shows, so I'm going to try to put everything together here.
May 2 - Russian New Year!
Last show of the semester. Didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped.
Guests: Spaniel called in and told a story about Spiderman. Jessica called in later and sang the Ninja Turtles song.
Survey: If you could change your name to anything else, what would it be? Caitlin's name, of course, would be Baby Buns, and mine would be The Irish Thunder.
Other: A little history about the Russian invasion of Poland. We also apologized for everything stupid we did this semester. And we announced that BJORK IS PREGNANT. And Jessica thought that she was Bjork's baby. Woah. Okay. Yeah.
