I hope i am not upsetting anyone with my words, as it's not my goal.

I went to Sunday's meeting wondering if I want to be a part of this collective any more. I decided I don't.

I suspect that for whatever reason, the majority of core members want the radio to die or reset. Perhaps the motivation stems from an elitist attitude; Or wishing to be in charge of something, or to have greater control over the programming.

I feel like my vision of a independent media source that reaches out to the community, strives for equality, and wishes to affect change; is not shared.

Tasks required for non-hierarchical power sharing and quality of the radio; such as responsibility, self-reliance, action, & commitment are rarely practiced.

The ECLECTRO GARAGE SALE is a collaboration between experimental music nonprofit Church of the Friendly Ghost and radical thriftstore Treasure City. Creative electronic sound artists will perform on the Salvage Vanguard’s stage while a garage sale of Treasure City’s hippest stuff happens in the gallery. Each of the acts use recycled and often unwanted materials in their music.

Just wanted to tell you that I was late by 15 minutes to this evening's show, so if any of you out there want to listen to the archive (yeah, yeah!!) you will probably want to skim on in till you hear the theme song (you know the one!) -sorry for the inconvenience I have no idea where the time between working, dinner, feeding Jackson The Cat, and transport on bicycle goes--wait! Thats it! I hope y'all are staying hydrated out there!! Keep on tuning in!!! Ciao!!
