Rain Delay/Podcast

As I sit and write this new blog, the Foo Fighters' "Learn to Fly" plays on the Cooley Law School Stadium scoreboard. It reminds me of my days of playing Rock Band with my friends back home in our fictional band "Da Flyers." Now we've moved on to bigger and better things and have turned in the fake guitars and drums for the real thing. We've got a new name (Amateur Hour) and have more fun than any four people who are mediocre musicians ever have before.

ANYWHO! My addition to the media department here in Lansing isn't really felt unless you get time to actually listen to a game. I'm trying to fix that. For my birthday I got a Blue Yeti USB microphone, and it is seriously like handing a sniper rifle to a 12-year-old going to shoot on the range for the first time. I am totally flabbergasted by the capabilities that this thing has. I'm planning on starting a podcast to be shared on the Lugnuts website for everyone to enjoy. I was just tinkering around today and ended up chatting with myself for twenty minutes! Imagine the fun Jesse and I will be able to have! I'm hoping to get some of the Lugnuts players involved too, which would make it really fun.

For the next few days I'm going to be working on one major thing while I broadcast... SMILING! I know, it sounds weird right? But think about this for a minute... I have perhaps the greatest job any sports fan could want, what's not to be happy about? I love baseball, I love my job, and I want the people listening, whether stranger, family, or friend, to know that I love what I'm doing. So there's my goal. Let's see how it works out!
