More Changes than NBC's Late-Night Lineup

I won't go into the Jay vs. Conan debacle just yet--we'll save it for the first show of 2010.

But to all our fans (especially the foreign princesses that need us to help them get their money back), I wanted to give an update on our situation for this semester.

The Boob Tube will be moving from Sundays at 5:30 p.m. to Sundays at 5 p.m. You may be thinking, Well that's not such a big change. Fruit you. You're wasting my time. I could be reading someone else's lame-o blog right now instead of this blabber.

Hush. I'm not done. Instead of being in the KRUI main studio, we have been moved to the KRUI Lab (exclusive stream). What does this mean? I'm not quite sure. From my understanding, the Lab was created last semester as a training studio for new djs and such. This semester, however, the "powers that be" are trying to evolve the Lab into an internet station in its own right. Honestly, I've never even been in this Lab place. I hope it's like Narnia and we have to go through a magical wardrobe to get there. Afterwards, we'll have Mr. Pibb and Red Vines because it equals crazy delicious.

Some might say we are the Conan in this situation because we'll have fewer listeners as a result of this change. I say this is just another reason Iowa City cab drivers (my biggest fans from the late-night/early-morning shifts I had as a dj) should invest in cell phones with web browsing capabilities. Do the streams work on phones? I'm so technologically inept. Iowa City doesn't have Clear Internet, so you couldn't stream it from your laptop while you're in a car. That is part of the commercial for Clear in the Chicago area--because you can't go a whole commute without the Internet.

Sorry, I get more off-topic than some professors who shall not be named. Anyway, what this changes is pretty much nothing. All our listeners from outside the Iowa City area listened to us on the stream anyway. Now you just have to remember to click the Lab's stream instead of the Main Studio's stream. As for those in the Iowa City area, heed this advice: At 5 p.m. every Sunday, listen to us on your computer at home, take your laptop to one of the numerous places that has free wi-fi access, or go to the University's Main Library and hover over someone until they give up their computer. Do this even if there are open computers around. Hovering is so much more fun.

If you've been skimming, this is all you need to know: Boob Tube KRUI Lab Sundays 5 p.m.-5:30 p.m.

Today was my birthday.
