Live from NYC its waiting in line!

Some of us slept for a couple of hours some of us didn't as 3:30 am rolled upon us to wake up to wait in line at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. We rolled up to 30 Rock and we were about the 120th persons in line.

People had been in line since Friday morning at 6am. So how it works you wait in line for standby tickets for if season ticket holders to not show up or some of the reserved tickets. You can choose rehearsal show which is a dress rehearsal and longer than the actual show and has more skits. We chose "live".  You show up at 10:30 on Saturday and they chose as many people as they can take. Our chief engineer Kyle was the last person to be admitted.

Kevin Hart was the host for this week SNL. It was an awesome show. Just to see the production value of SNL was unreal everything that goes into the show is amazing. Macklemore also performed.






Going to SNL was one of the best experiences we were able to take away from the whole thing. Tomorrow would be our last day in NYC which sucked.

CBS studios and going live on Air Over NYC

Last night after going to some panels and getting some knowledge to bring back to our station. People were selected to go to CBS Radio studio and tour the studio. CBS studio is located in the Hudson Square Section of Manhattan.  It was an awesome opportunity to see how a commercial channel was operated by real DJ's who loved college radio when they did it. One of the most amazing experience was Matt Denaro one of the General Managers was able to go live on air with Host Joe Causi who is currently number one in ratings in NYC.

After leaving all the members got some sleep and got ready to stand in line to get tickets to Saturday Night Live.

Day 1 NYC.

Go to bed with WUML. After a late night and exploring NYC we went to bed around 3am. We went to dinner with our faculty advisor El Tigre. In down town Manhattan, the live music there consisted of covers of Nickleback and Black Sabbath. When walking down the heavily congested streets of NYC all we heard was "You want gyro?! 7 dollars fifty!". We are going to the conference going today so we will post some pictures. In the words of Beyonce. "Can you pay my Bills? Can you pay my telephone bills? Do you pay my automo' bills?

I went to NYC for the weekend

 Today, we left Lowell for New York City at 12:00pm for our bus at 2pm at South Station. We had a pretty rad guy check us in at Gate 9 in South Station. This awesome man from Nepal checked us in and got us on our way.

About 45 minutes later our bus broke down.

We were on the road for about an hour with a nice lady from NYC who recored a promo for us. We broke down on I-90 in Framingham. We made it to NYC at 8pm. Check out our next blog later tonight.

Water

Water, the most essential drink in the world and the most versatile drink in the world. Every drink that you consume has some amount of water in it. You can usually tell a good restaurant by the quality of the water at a restaurant. I go to an amazing Thai restaurant in Beverly Mass called Siam Delight, the food is amazing but the water is even better. I can always be guaranteed a nice cold glass of h20 there. No lemon or lime added just pure cold water. The finest water I have ever had. That is my philosophy on restaurants if you have good water your restaurant must rule.

Whiskey!! Whiskey!! Quiskey!!!

This week I will talk about my favorite Spirit Whiskey. The Earliest record of Whiskey dates back to around 1405 in Ireland. The word whiskey comes from the Gaelic phrase "uisge", uisge is short for uisge beatha which translates to"water of life". Whiskey is a pretty versatile sprite it can be drank on its own, such as having it neat (no ice) or with ice. Whiskey can be mixed with Cola or with Ginger Beer. My favorite way to drink Whiskey is with Cola. I have recently been enjoying Jack Daniels with Honey it is a great beverage and has a sweet taste to Whiskey. There is nothing more relaxing then having a nice glass of Whiskey after a long day it relaxes you.
