THE LATEST IN LEE & WOLFE NEWS:
((This issue: Wood, Toledo, in the closet, and butts.))
If you're new to the Fun-O-Rama, welcome! Remember, you can almost not quite catch up with Lee & Wolfe news by reading back issues on the website at [ http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/fanzine.htm ].
"Woodenware"
Not to be confused with Wu Wear. Woodenware is the traditional gift for 5th anniversaries. And guess what Wolfe and I are celebrating tomorrow? Right. The Lee & Wolfe 5th Anniversary Show is tomorrow, April 28th, 2000. Way, way back in 1995, before cloning, the discovery of extra-solar planets, and AOL 5.0, Wolfe was sitting in the room with me when my former co-host went postal and stormed off. I turned to Wolfe and asked "Hmmm... wanna do a show tomorrow?" Wolfe said "What do you mean by that?" And I said "Are you retarded?" And he said "Huh?" And the rest is history.
Tomorrow we'll do what we have done for past anniversaries. That is, we'll play clips of bits and things from the past, as well as the best live musical performances over the years. We'd like you to suggest anything you remember as good or funny or weird or bad or whatever, so that we can play it back. You might also suggest that we try to find instances of something, or even anti-request something you want to be sure NOT to hear.
Be sure to listen tomorrow as Wolfe and I give each other wood.
"Cleveland Rocks, But Toledo Rocks More"
Welcome to our new affiliate in Toledo, Ohio! WXUT 88.3fm, Toldeo's Only Alternative is the student station for the University of Toledo, and they air the show on Saturday nights at midnight. Find out all about our latest favorite station in the whole wide world at [
http://www.wxut.com ]. PD Adam Weiner was kind enough to subject the citizenry of Toledo to little ol' us.Speaking of affiliates stay off the interstate between Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Richmond, Kentucky tomorrow afternoon. Bernie, PD of our affiliate at Eastern Kentucky University, WXII, will be driving in his normal bat-out-of-hell fashion to join us for the anniversary show. He will be regularly checking the "tote board." You'll see. Don't forget to listen at [

"In the Closet"
Since last we spoke, there have been large and crappy changes at our home station. The wise and unquestionable administration of the College of Communication have decided that they want to re-arrange the building we are in. Ok, fine. They want to move the NPR station from upstairs where they are to where we are (were) downstairs, and move us where they are. Clearly this will make everything all better. I mean, isn't it obvious? So in the meantime, guess which station has to be moved to a temporary studio to get the hell out of the way? Right. So for the next however many months, we and all the poor defenseless DJs of WVUA are crammed into a closet in the back of Reese Phifer hall on the UA campus. Literally a closet. When you listen, listen for an odd echo in the band performances. Bands for now will be playing in the hallway, which we cover with quilts and blankets and rugs to attempt to deaden sound reflections. We've never looked more like a garage sale! We will soon update much of our website, and add the pathetic pictures.
ON THE (upcoming) SHOW(s):
"Band-wise"
Bands slated to appear this summer in the hallway include Lift [
http://www.orangestar.com/lift ] of Atlanta, Georgia, and Smithwick Machine of Birmingham, Alabama [ http://www.angelfire.com/al/smithwickmachine/xnews.html ]. We've received lots of good band demo CDs, etc. lately, so expect a summer of great performances. For affiliate stations, there's a band rerun on May 5th, and live bands pick back up on either the 19th or 26th."Other-wise"
Here's the schedule as we enter Spring finals time and interim here at the University of Alabama:
April 28: 5th Anniversary Show
May 5: regular show with band rerun / baseball locally
May 12: off
May 19: maybe off maybe regular show
May 26: back to "normal"
THE STRANGEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE:
As a non-nudist office society, we aren't used to recognizing our co-workers by their booties. These laws will soon change, and all offices will be required to be nude. Practice recognizing asses with the Butt Guessing Game at [
http://www.smacie.com/butt/bg98 ].It took me a minute to figure out what the heck this site wanted me to do when it asked me to adopt a "dogbomb." Click "give life," and see if you catch on. Don't be mean. [
