Ptarmigan Telegraph

0Josh • 17th Sep 2004 • blog entries, nome.

Well, busy busy busy is the only thing I can say to sum up our past few days. Yesterday Lydia & I sat in on the AM morning show again, and it was very fun. We tried to add as much personality as we could. It makes a big difference when you have more than one person in the studio. We voice tracked (recorded) our show ahead of time, and enjoyed a free evening last night. Lydia & I continued on our quest to explore Nome, taking pictures as we went (look for them to be posted later this afternoon). We found the library, and checked out a few books. There appears to be a much nicer area of Nome than the part we were previously familiar with, much more subtle homes than our area of town.

This morning Neil & Greg Asimakoupoulos (visiting writer, and family friend in town to sign copies of his book, “ptarmigan telegraph”) and I headed down to the Polar Cafe to host the Coffee Crew. The show takes it on the road down there each Friday. I had a great breakfast, hash browns, eggs, and reindeer sausage. It was a good morning show too, I’ve got some audio that I’ll post later. Lydia & I also processed our donations that have come in over the past few weeks, we feel really blessed to be supported so well by friends and family.

This afternoon Lydia & I, along with the rest of the staff will be heading out to Serpentine Hotsprings. We will be flying out in a little three seat plane, owned by the local state congressman, Donny Olsen. It should be an interesting weekend, I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures!
