(Rebecca) Just finished recording Round 2!

I don't want to give away anything before the audio is posted (maybe early next week?), but I'll just say that I had fun and really wish I could have another go at it. I met a lot of super cool people at the local public radio station, got a tour of the studios, and hung out for quite a while afterward just chatting with Mike, the amazingly helpful engineer who recorded me. The funniest thing was finding out that Mike and I have frequented the same dance club in Cambridge (The Phoenix Landing if you must know) and he knows my friend who spins around town.

While I'm checking in here on the blog, I'll also take this time to whine (actually brag, in an odd kind of way) one more time about my trip to get to the station. I don't have a car, and I work fairly far outside Boston, so to get to the station by 1:30pm I had to plan in advance. This morning I rode my bike to a train station about five miles from home, locked it up, and then hopped the train to where I work. Then as usual I had to take a bus from the train station to work. (I could only take half a day as I'm an hourly freelancer...time is money!)

At noon, my coworker friend gave me a lift back to the train station, where I took the train back to where I had parked my bike. I rode about a mile across the river to get to the studio. I managed to make it there 15 minutes early, which ended up being all for nothing since Mike thought I wasn't due until 2pm. Ah, well, at least it's been a gorgeous day for a ride, and let's face it, as reality shows go it's not like I had to eat walrus testicles or anything.

I then rode my bike home, and after posting this I'll be treating myself to a dinner with a friend at a Thai place down the street. I'll be ordering off the vegetarian menu, so probably no walrus balls.

editing in an old pic of the bike (known around town as The Pink Phink), just because!
