Bullet Points

After tremendous pressure from the readers of this blog, I have decided to keep it and will make more effort to keep it current.

Thanks for checking out our LOCAL radio show. We really do talk about what is going on in Austin. Most stations in Austin don't. We love Austin and have no desire to share our comfy little show with little towns around the United States. The opportunity keeps presenting itself and we keep saying no. Why? It is just a bad idea. We have had a good run in Austin, we love Austin and it would make us sick to our stomachs to not be able to talk about Austin just because we are in some tiny market in NW Texas or SW Louisiana. I'n not an ego guy. I don't need to be heard in different towns to satisy my ego. I'm assuming that you know when you sell out to the man to do the show for other cities, you are no longer capable of talking about your home town . I am very happy doing the best local radio show I can do. I am happy living in Austin, my wife is from here, here family is here and we feel like we fit in. So thanks for listening to LOCAL RADIO with us on MIX 94.7 Austin.
The baby is coming, the baby is coming. We are about 2 1/2 months away from the due date. Tricia is doing great. Tomorrow is crummy day for her. She has to take a gestational diabetes test tmomorrow which forces her to fast fo about 12 hours, and have blood taken every hour on the hour for 3 hours. I feel for her, but she is a trooper. The baby's room is coming along. We went with Pink and Green, I guess she is destin to be a Delta Zeta (I dated a DZ in college and remember their colors) I will have a vide of the room for you tomorrow. The room isn't done, but you will get the idea.
I finally got to 1000 followers on Twitter.com/sandymcilree Thank to all of you that came over. I won't lie, it makes me feel good when I see the followers numbers go up.
Tricia and I are already talking about having another and hoping for a boy. We originally thought this baby was a boy and we were going to name him Hudson. Well we got a girl and named her Landry Galan. I bring this up because a buddy of mine is expecting a boy and is leaning toward naming him Hudson. To me, that is a violation. They stole our name. Not cool. I'm going to have to talk to him about this.
We have been greating guests on the show lately. This week we had Horation Sans, Kim Kardashian, and Chelsea Hightower from Dancing with the Stars. Next week we have Michael Lohan booked and we are hoping for Ellen Degeneres. Until we get Ellen D, we are going to interview an Ellen until we get Ellen D. Tomorrow we have an incredibly cute 11 year old Ellen. She will be on the show at 7:15. If you know an Ellen have her call us 512-390-5947 we would love to talk to her. If you know Ellen Degeneres that would be even better.

I'm working on our annual golf Tournament. This year it will benefit "JB and Sandy's Bikes for Kids" Details coming soon

Alexis Grace from American Idol is on the show with us tomorrow morning (March 24) at 7:20. Have you ever wondered how the Idols live when they aren't working on the show? Do they have roomies, do they live in hotels all alone? Alexis will give us all the scoop on that tomorrow

Kim Kardashian joins the show Thursday Morning. If you have a question for Kim, send it to me. If I use your question, I will give you a prize. I am not sure what the prize is yet, but it will be decent. We only give out decent prizes

Chelsea Hightower from "Dancing With The Stars" will be on with us on Friday. Same offer with the questions.

Letterman got married. Other than the intro of the show, he made no mention of it during his monologue. Lettermans best line so far was when he started talking about the NCAA Tournament and the teams reaching the Sweet 16, then said that was the Octogons goal too. I like how Dave keeps things on the down low. Happy for him, his wife and Harry (the kid)

Thats all I got.

Who will be # 1000?

I am closing in on 1000 Twitter followers. Will you be #1000? www.twitter.com/sandymcilree Lots of cool info about the show there. Check it out. Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooo it

Slowly Losing This Blog

I'm trying, I really am trying....to keep this blog alive. Once again, it is all about Twitter. So much better than a long winded blog. I can update photos so much easier from my phone. BTW I am thinking about getting an Iphone. My wife got one and so far she loves it. I really need more photos storage than I currently have on my Blackberry. Anyway, you will get so much more if you start following me at twitter.com/sandymcilree I really want to reach 1000 followers by the end of the week. I will continue to put videos and some photos here, but I would really appreciate a follow at twitter.com/sandymcilree

Since I am here, a few bullet points:
Happy St Patricks Day, great seeing everyone at Fado this morning. As I write this I am sure the party is rocking. Great Local Radio this morning. We interviewed, The Austin Fire Chief, Rhoda Mae Kerr, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo, KVUE's Olga Campos, Brad "The Bachelor" Womack, Austin Comedian Pat Hazel, Film Maker Turk Pipkin, Austin Mayor Will Wynn. Great LOCAL radio this morning.

Baby Update: Tricia feels the little booger move all the time. For some reason, when I put my hands on Tricia's belly to feel her, she quits moving. I feel like she already hates me. We'll see. We picked a color for the room. You will have to go to www.twitter.com/sandymcilree to see what it is. In case you missed it, the due date is June 7 her name is Landry Galan.

Very proud of Austin this week. JB and I checked out a show last night at Mohawk, Ausitn felt like a big city last night. SXSW is very cool thing. Amazing how it has grown over the years.

Watching American Idol for the first time tonight. It is Country night and it is aweful. Horrendous. Alexis Grace just butchered a Dolly Parton classic. Randy Travis is the guest. I remembering interviewing him back in the day. He was a very classy, kind superstar to a very nervous young DJ. I will always like Randy Travis for the 30 minutes I spent with him a long time ago. I am trying to figure out if us talking about American Idol makes any sense. It seems so played out. Do you guys really care about this show anymore? Do you care what we think about who did what? In the end, I guess it is great family TV. I'm thinking when I have a family and we have weather like we had today, we are going to outside doing something while American Idol is on TV.

Peace

She gives women drivers a bad name.

Bras and panties in the road

Watch this video closely. There are womens clothes all over the street. Most of them are exactly in the middle of the road. This is on Bullick Hallow between 620 and 2769. What is going on here. It is driving me crazy.

Colors for the kids room

Here is what we are choosing from. The two greens in the middle are winning. Your thought?

Bullet Points March 9, 2009

A beautiful home one block off of S Congress. I guess the inside of the house was full and they needed to put some stuff outside. My friend who lives one block away tells me that it is always like this and the backyard is full of crap too. Amazing.

Have you adjusted to "Daylight Savings" yet. I hope you heard the clip this morning about people that say that can't adjust. "It's only an hour" "it's not like you just got off a flight from Australia" Very Funny. I'm so sorry I can't think of the comics name off the top of my head. When I do, I will post it on my Twitter Site. www.twitter.com/sandymcilree You should start following at Twitter, lots of inside info on contests and stuff coming up on the show.

We have tickets tomorrow morning, March 10 at 8:30, to see Adele at La Zona Rosa. The show is sold out, but we can hook you up tomorrow. Be listening at 8:30 to win.

St Patricks Day at Fado. It is an annual tradition. We will be doing the show from Fado (on 4th between Lavaca and Colorado Street) on the 17th. Take the day off, come hang with us. Beer is good with Breakfast.

We had a Bikes for Kids meeting today. Can you believe that? That is how long in advance we work on this project. We are going to be doing some very cool stuff this year.

Finally went to a couple of places JB has been telling me about on S Congress (I refuse to call it SoCo) A resturant called Woodland and a candy shop called Big Top. Big Top has every single candy you can imagine. I wasn't alive in 1950, but picture a candy store from that era. Cool place. Woodland is a comfort food joint. I also saw a cool old school barber shop which if I had hair I would go to.

"Let's Be Honest" we have a two women that are going to be great. You can hear one of them at 7:45 tomorrow morning. She has some juicy stuff she wants to ask one of her best friends. Put it this way, one of the questions has to do with her little brother. Hear her tomorrow, hear both of them on Wednesday. If you have never heard "Let's Be Honest" we have two friends ask each other 3 questions with the promise that they will answer with 100% honesty. Hear it all tomorrow and Wednesday on with JB and Sandy on MIX 94.7

Jessica Simpson

Alot better than that last outfit we say huh?

Michael Jackson

At times, Mke seems like he has it together, at others he is weird ol Mike. You decide

I'm telling you guys, Twitter is where it is at. Follow me at www.twitter.com/sandymcilree I really want to hit 100 followers. Twitter is cool

I am downstairs, my wife is upstairs, I can tell she just got out of the shower because I can smell her. It is a nice smell, a very nice smell.

Back from upstairs :) You ever try Texas wine? I am no wine expert at all, but I know what I like when I taste it. I like this one, Messina Hof Gewurztraminer, I got it in Gruene, TX a month or so ago. I would try to explain it, but I would end up sounding stupid. It taste great.

Spring forward: Set your clocks forward this Saturday night when you go to bed. I love this time of year. I like it when you set the clocks back too. I love long days in Austin. This weekend signals lake season for me. Love hitting Lake Travis to Surf and wakeboard around 6pm and coming in at dark. Eating dinner and ging to bed. Life is good. It also the signals the end of Hunting/fishing season for me, and the golf slows down too. It's just too hot. I had my boat serviced today and I need to get the stereo fixed. Blew an amp some how, I guess I rock to hard, yeah right??

Baby is coming in 3 months. WOW! Tricia and I are getting ready. We have casual talks about parenting. I do best with casual talks, serious talks make me feel like I have to poop.

Our very own Heather Riveria was named #42 on Radio's Hottest 50 Women http://www.popcrunch.com/the-50-hottest-women-of-radio/ Very cool. I am glad to see someone on our station get some love. Lately it seems JB and I can't do anyting right.

Are your taxes done? Signed and filed mine today. Glad to get a refund, we really need it. Man Credit Cards can get away from you if you don't watch it.

Really www.twitter.com/sandymcilree is where it is at. I do this blog because I can be a little more long winded. Twitter is super brief. Check it out. More updates

Is Austin losing it's edge? I swear in the last few years, it seems like Austin is turning in to the rest of the world, and I hate it. Crappy syndicated radio shows are popular in Austin. How does that happen? Do you not care about what is going on in your own town. You would rather hear the same lame crap about Hollywood that you can get on the web? You don't want to hear why 2 helicopters landed in Zilker Park today, you would rather hear fart jokes? Man, Austin aint as cool as it used to be and it aint as weird. Sad really.

Sandy Out!

Acne Stuff

This stuff is great SkinCeuticals Blemish Control Gel. http://www.skinceuticals.com/_us/_en/catalog/correct/Blemish-Control-Gel.htm

Don't try this in the NFL

Whos says ping pong players aren't hip?

Does anyone else see the funny thing about this message. This was in response to the picture I posted of Rhianna. Please note the title of the blog and the content of the complaint. This is what I deal with everyday. Amazing.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Rhianna, *Warning* Some may find this Disturbing":
I feel ill, this picture is horrible, and I can't believe you would post it at all, especially without any kind of warning for your readers. Rihanna's privacy was totally invaded by the leak of this picture, and a lot of people don't want to see it. You should really have linked to it with a warning or not posted it at all.

Early

Just got to the radio station. Good morning. Oh, 5 hour energy shot is awesome.

Meeting

This is what we did after the show today.
