Radio Christina - Attention Everyone!

[BossTamsin (imported)]

This coming Saturday, March 15, talula and friends are going to be putting on a special internet radio broadcast dedicated to our good friend and chatroom leader Christina!

The show will be running from 6pm to midnight, CDT.

You can listen in either by pointing your browser here (http://www.wfma-radio.com/wfma/), and clicking in the top right where it says "Tune in using," or by installing Winamp (http://www.winamp.com/) (which does have a free version) and aiming it at: http://s7.viastreaming.net:7080

talula does recommend that anyone who can, uses the Winamp method as that will include extras such as song titles and the like.

It sounds like it's going to be a great time, and there may even be little extras thrown in throughout the day! Come on, everyone tune in and help show your love of Christina!

When I first joined the EA Christina made quite an impression on me. Her avatar photo of her beautiful and warm smile was so welcoming. I am always impressed by the insight and kindness of her posts. Even though I have not met Christina I consider her a friend.

[talula]

As IE mentioned, we are hoping Saturday will be a night to remember. There will be a full staff at the station, and more details come later.

Send your notes to Christina and we will read them on the air.

Send to Eunuch, subject Christina.

As promised, more details of the upcoming radio show this Saturday (March 15, 2008).

This will be a internet radio show for Christina and the easiest way to listen is by download

ing Winamp (http://www.winamp.com

) and getting the free version. No you do not have to use the toolbar or allow the 50 free mp3's on your computer.

The best address is http://s7.viastreaming.net:7080

You can also type this into your windows media player for it to work. Itunes will if you go to the website here (http://www.wfma-radio.com) as will most.

Requests will be taken on the board, email, or chatroom. We are still working on a telephone. Please remember that the general genre is classic rock/rock/indie. Much outside of that will probably not be played.

If you have a good will wish to send to Christina in audio (played on the air) or written (read on the air) please send it to IE, Jesus, Riverwind, myself, or anyone that has a way of getting it into the mailbox.

There will also be a special website opening at darkstar1.tzo.com (http://darkstar1.tzo.com) but have currently closed it because I don't want you folks to see what we are doing hehehe.

Come one, come all, Radio Christina broadcasts this Saturday. Get the wine, alert the neighbors. It should be very fun.

Again, your best bet to listen is using winamp (http://www.winamp.com) and opening this (

The Christina Radio Show was a TREMOUNDOUS success thanks to so many like talula, Sister Kristoff, River, Rupert, IEunuch, and many many others who expressed their love for our sister, Christina.

Get well Christina, we need you and you know "WE ALL LOVE YOU."

I received a call from Kristoff early this evening. He was with Talula and asked if I'd like to come over and join them. I was really glad he called. I want you to know Talula worked really hard to make this evening's broadcast a success. It was amazing, and a lot of fun, to watch everything that went into creating the broadcast. The banter between Talula and Kristoff was effortless and cool to witness. Being the little introverted girl I am, I can't imagine how they did it

I knew the Archive was a terrific place and witnessing what went on this evening made that even more clear to me in very concrete way. River and Talula had come up with the idea (please correct me if I'm getting this wrong ). The very active broadcast related activity in the chat room showed listeners were having a great time. Chat, emails and phone calls during the broadcast clearly showed how much people care for Christina and wish her well.

As they stated, neither Kristoff or Talula has ever met Christina. I'm certain most people on the Archive haven't either. Despite that, the Archive has provided a friendly, welcoming environment that enable them and others to get to know Christina. That's one of the amazing things about this community. There is genuine, deep caring among members that transcends distance.

I felt really privileged to be able to witness much of the broadcast first hand. The fact that this took place at all is a tribute to the volunteers that run the Archive and others who have been deeply involved with it for a very long time.

Most importantly, the broadcast was very tangible evidence, through an in many ways intangible medium, of the deep respect and love members have for Christina. Our thoughts are with you, Christina, and you are in our hearts.

This was a great way to honor Christina. Hope she liked it as much as we had doing it for her. Was nice to here so more voices from the chat room and message board. Christina you are sure loved and respected and you saw last night. Best wishes to you.

To all those who put "Radio Christina" together, and ran it last night, I cannot begin to express how impressed I was with this effort.

We had the chat room interacting with the broadcast, along with a call-in number and email account live. Not only was there music, but also a direct-link request line, as well as the ability to record yourself and send that MP3 in to be played over the air!

I did this...(yes I know, I sound like a jr. hi. kid!)

I was truly moved by the participation of Members in this program, and cannot think of any better way to honor our lovely Christina.

I also cannot find the words to thank all those who put this together, or even begin to say what a fantastic idea it was.

If you missed it, well, you missed a LOT.

We love ya, Christina!

[Paolo]

I merged these two threads and stuck it.

For those who didn't know, the channel is still playing regular music, as any station would.

[kristoff]

More than 24 hours later, I think I am recovered enough to post. One wonders if Tal is / was in any better shape.

I can only say that I had a blast last night, honoring one of our best and foremost members, especially in her time of need. I was honored to be there, and would do it again quickly, in such a case.

Already, we are getting calls for future shows. I suspect that there would have to be a bit of space between them. I do not think either Tal or I could do these things too often. It is too hard on the liver....

Thanks to all who listened in, lent their moral and spiritual support to our friend, and who enjoyed all the music, as well as the idiots maundering on. I was impressed with all of the messages - email, chat, and by phone, and the karma floating in the air. And I am grateful to have been presented the opportunity to do what little I could.

Best wishes to all !

[talula]

Hehe. I am recovered, but did alot of sleeping.

Thanks to all that listened, sent stuff in, telephoned, poured drinks, and posted. Radio Christina really was a success and why would it not be? Named after a wonderful lady, it could not fail.

My special thanks go to those that helped this all happen and you know whom you are.

I'll never forget Kristoff's looks as we went back and forth and as he said, we have been asked to do it again. We don't want to do it very often because it would not make it as special, but River is pushing for next August during midwest MoM. This is a possibility....

There have been questions regarding the musical content and am very pleased folks liked the mix. I am sorry we did not get some of the requests but we did manage to get most of them in (River was testing the library out of sheer petulance hahah). Thanks to Danya for coming on over and putting up with us.

We did upload the show to the archive where IE is processing it for a podcast. Sorry to all that I forgot to push the record button for the first hour as there was so much going on, I just plain forgot.

Up next, some Band of Horses, Al Green, Yes, but first, Kimya Dawson - I like Giants.

I sure hope you all enjoyed the evening especially Christina. Here it was so much fun, laughing, drinking, eating in general having a good time. Sometimes you do something because its the right thing to do but I don't think Talula or I had any idea it was going to be this great. Tal and I are already talking about the next show and when to do it (Summer or Fall). I can't get over how tired I was yesterday, doing a show like this does take the wind out of your sail.

To Christina, it was worth every minute of it if it brought one smile to your face. We love you,

River

Hey Guy's, I wanted to thank you all for the Great job you did. I was down at Christina's as the show went on. We both were in the chatroom as the show was running. She loved the music that was playing. Some of them brought back memories for her, some did for me too. We loved the jokes also. She did miss some of the messages because she had went to the ladies room. Also a few naps in between (which the meds make her do). I did hear all of them tho, and relayed them to her. Hopefully someone can send her a recording so she can hear what she missed. But I wanted to let you all know, it was a wonderful gift to her and Thank you all so much!

love and hugs, Lilac

I was able to listen to most of the show, and I think everyone involved did a great job. Those involved also include everyone who sent Christina a message, and all of those did something very special and appreciated I am so glad Christina enjoyed the show, and I look forward to it happening again.

We love you, Christina
