Lets say you had to pick one person on this board, besides yourself to live with for one week. You have to be with them the entire week. You have to live together, eat together and spend as much quality time with this person. This has to be a person who you think is really interesting and you want to get to know them better.
It could be someone on the board who you're dying to find out who they really are, OR it could be one of the celebrities on this board like Big Tom Parker, Terry Danner ect ect.

What person would it be and WHY? And remember you have to hang out with this person NONSTOP for one week, so PICK your person wisely! If you choose too quickly it could be a very painful experience!
By the way, you're not sleeping with or dating this person, you're just hanging out with them for a week.

Lets have some fun with this one. Mine is coming soon!

hmmmm, tough choice, and as close as the Michael Phelps race. Easier decision on who you couldn't pay me to spend a day with.

With no slight to anyone I go with missingkskd.

Why? Enough common ground to validate thoughts and ideas, and enough differences in opinion to have some great give and take. Besides, he can probably get my computer running smooth. I would however change my choice to anyone who can fix the brakes on my pickup. :-D

No sleeping together? This will be a lot harder than I thought.

BBL

Craig Adams--He's a friend allready. down to earth person who is a good person. craigs into radio history. we could talk about radio for days.

second choice, anyone who golfs. I have two for one coupons for a nice course, but hate to go around twice!

I second the choice of Craig Adams.

Hmmmmm..............

Hard one, let me think.




Fresh/Radio Hustler, simply so I can teach him how to speak and write ENGLISH!

(The rine in spine sties minely on the pline...... ;o)

....I second the choice of Craig Adams....

You will have to wait until Craig makes his first choice.

I would like to meet the secretive Herb. One of the activities that I would plan out for that week would be a field trip to KLYC!!

Have to be Warner we seem to have same taste in music and we both love jon koonce. some day, we will hang...........

"No sleeping together? This will be a lot harder than I thought."

Great minds think alike.

Dude and Warner, I was thinking a threesome would be good...a threesome hanging out at Eugenio's. Actually, it would be a foursome with Jon there.

That sounds great! We would fill the place practically!

My alternate would be Littlesongs, because I have to hang with someone who likes the same kind of music as I do, or I would go nuts. Chickenjuggler would also work in that vein.

This is a tough one! We are all so fascinating!

Im gonna have to go with Darktemper. We have similar tastes in music.
Hey Temper, me, you and sammy Hagar. I actually want to Try Sammy Hagar's Tequila, I heard its good! I actually heard that they were selling it at Costco for a while.

We can even take the Yugo down to Cabo and visit sammy!

...Then you could share the bottle and post here afterwards

Thats actually a good idea Roger.

New rules have been added.

Every couple must have a lab top with them the entire time and blog a minimum of once a day. In the blog it will give a detailed description about what you're doing, how its going, are you getting along? Would you ever spend time with this person again ect. ect.

Lets remember Monkeyboy that there are A LOT more guys on this board than women. But If guys are YOUR thing, than more power to ya

I can't decide on just one. So it would end being a Breakfast Club/Big Chill/Dan in Real Life/Newsradio type reality house thing.

"7 Not so strangers picked to live in a PDXradio house, Find out what happens when message board buddies have to live with each other."

uhm wow hard to wittle it away to just seven posters here.

let alone one.

That'd be great JT!

I have a bottle of "Cabo Wabo Reposado", well a partial bottle anyway, in my cupboard at home. It is the best, better than Patron, IMO! I think Costco just sells the Blanco but you can get the better stuff at most liquor stores.

Add:
You really think the Yugo can make the haul all the way to "Lands End"?

My in-laws have a time share down there, check out the view:
Cascadas de Baja

Im there dude. Name the time and place and Im There.
This weekend I'm gonna go buy some of Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Tequila at a liquer store. I actually woke up this morning and was Phening some Van Hagar. One of the most under-rated Van Hagar albums was "Balance" that came out in '95.
I've been rocking out to that album all day. Good stuff! I may have to go buy "Sammy Hagars" greatest hits. I own all the Van Hagar albums on CD but I don't own any of the Sammy Hagar solo stuff.
Ps- have some faith in the Yugo Darktemper, if you give it some love, it will love you back! It hasn't let me down yet

I didn't know this, but last year Sammy Hagar sold 80% of the Cabo Wabo Tequila business for 800 Million.

http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fsb/fsb_archive/2007/07/01/100122129/index.htm

What a great life Sammy Hagar must be living. He no longer has the pressure of being in Van Halen and can now just play in small bands, make the kind of music that he really wants to make, no pressure of record companies.
Im so jealous!

Hmm, who to hang with? Well, I've hung with DT a few times, and it's always a pleasure.

I don't know if I can pick just one person, I would love to pick the brains of the Littlesongs and KSKDs and that, have some intelligent political discussion.

Oh man!

Of all the ideas, I think the reality house thing would be a hit. Can you imagine this group?

Somebody call BRAVO!

Everybody here is pretty damn cool and all are interesting! It's like the spice wheel at the Thai food place! So many choices, just spin the wheel and let it fall where it may!

Just curious,
If they made a real-life movie based on the PDX radio get-together what would it be rated?
G, PG, pG-13, R, NC-17, or X??

If they did make a movie based on The PDX radio "one week get together" it would have to be a comedy, the humor would be slightly raunchy(but not going too far) and very political at times. I would give it an "R" rating, just to be on the safe side

JT, First of all I cannot believe you don't own and solo Sammy!!!!

OK then, If you just wanna get a compilation then get "The Essential Red Collection". I have everything Sammy and would recommend "I Never Said Goodbye" and "Standing Hampton (The quintessential Sammy Hagar Album)". Other albums could and should include "Marching to Mars", "Three Lock Box" and "VOA". But do not forget about really early Sammy with the self titled "Montrose" album or the all but forgotten special project album "H.S.A.S Through The Fire". HSAS for "Sammy Hagar on vocals, Neal Schon on guitar, Kenny Aaronson on bass, and Michael Shrieve on drums." These guys tear it up and do a mean version of "Whiter Shade of Pale".

BTW, Eddie VH gave up the shredding guitar for the Bass guitar on the "I Never Said Goodbye" album so Sammy has that role!

Beano, i'll just wait for the extended "Unrated Director's Cut" with the extra bonus DVD with all of the bloopers! Someone just make sure that both Wayne and Reinstatepete are in the movie! And maybe drag in ToeCheese for Mrs. M.

Hey Temper, Please forgive me for not owning any solo Sammy Hagar. (Sigh) I'm a HUGE FAN of the Red Rocker and plan on buying "The essential Red collection) this weekend. I would like to buy all the sammy hagar Cd's seperately but There are FAR Too many albums coming out within the next few months- Guns N roses, Metallica, ACDC.

Classic Rock fans will be in heaven these next 4-6 months, since many Classic rock bands are coming out with Brandnew material.

Of course if it were a reality show it would have to be filmed only in the beginning and ends in Portland with the majority being filmed in some tropical locale.

I guess I have seen one too many episodes of reality television shows of various types.

Intros of all the partcipants meeting seemingly randomly on there way to said tropical local. Then at the end its reminising about time spent in tropical locale along with the senitimental montages of various highlights of the tropical locale.

And of course it is envitable that a couple of things are going happen: Someone is going to get kicked off or leave the party early. Someone is going to surprisingly come out of the closet within the first episode and or a shocker in the middle of the show. Everyone will eventually get drunk some will cry, some with shiat or pee their pants in the process of getting drunk, and someone will either get hurt while getting drunk or break something else within the ridiculously nice tropical locale.

And for some stupid reason there will be a competition or task built into the show because its only more entertaining that way.

So I guess in the case of the PDXradio reality house show the said tropical local would be Cabo San Lucas Mexico (because that is seemingly the most brought up tropical locale again and again on this board) And being that its the PDXradio reality show the task involved throughout the show would be that of running an actual radio station in Cabo. Of course that would be the cause of alot of entertainment and interesting dynamics of the show because none of the houseguests wants to run a Spanish speaking station in a Mexican market and no one in the house will be able to speak enough spanish to ever take on a on-air personality role with the station as is demonstrated within the first couple of episodes when the comedy is that none of us can order half a meal out using our spanglish.

You can't tell me though that there is not a network out there that wouldn't want this raunch, yet at the same time nerdy idea on there network.

Hey I've been watching alot of MOJO lately maybe they are up to the task?

So who is in? Oh and I almost forgot everyone here on this board wants in so we all have to make those lame tapes telling the shows producers why we want on the show. And in the audition process they will surely pick out the most entertaining and most potential for manipulation when it comes to casting with that one token mentally unstable person thrown in just for fun!

Hey Hey now lets not banter about who is the most mentally unstable of the bunch that person has already been casted and Jacquel is all ready to make her surprise appearence after the envitable kicked off incident happens as there replacement.

Ok this is getting scary!

Jacquel, now that brings back some memories. Remember she was using this site to promote something( I can't remember what)

Jacquel HAS to be on this show, along with Newport Radio and Herb. Somehow I think Jacquel will be the first one booted out of the house! Djfresh aka Radiohustla must be on the show also.

There is enough possible applicants that there are easy 2-3 seasons worth and then think about all the spinoffs?

According to VH1 - Rock of Love with Brett Michaels was the highest rated show on VH1 EVER!!

That is untill the PDX RADIO CREW comes to VH1.

"They're crude, they're crass and DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF THEIR POLITICAL VIEWS OR ELSE".......
COMIING TO VH1 THIS FALL!!!!!!

If it is along the lines of Big brother, or Survivor, Most of us don't have the looks for the show.
Reality shows have very few "regular people"
Some of us are too old, too fat, or otherwise unappealing. YOu would probably have to "You Tube" it and go from there.

BTW, what is the prize? (The New York radio station for sale on ebay?)

I'm thinking they film it on the cheap, make everyone into a cartoon character South Park style, convert the docu-drama into a cartoon, and air it!

!!!!

YES!

Absolutely the most brilliant idea yet!

We can tell the story of each of us, one at a time, finding this place, getting sucked in by the others already there, and from there it gets interesting!

A quick look through the archives reveals many South Park quality episodes. Screw the TV, release it direct to DVD, self-pimp it on the Internets, and let word of mouth do exactly what it did for South Park.

God, we are a vain and self-absorbed bunch at times. Well, at least it's fun to muse over that kind of thing, isn't it?

If there were such a "reality" show, I am certain that talk about what is wrong with the media would creep in at some time. I would complain that the reason that the network is in such financial dire straits is because they do extravagant things like paying to send the cast to a far away place instead of having a mission based in the Portland area, such as saving KBMS. I would also point out that it is silly to do a "Portland Radio" program from a setting that no Portland radio station's signal (other than perhaps KEX) can reach. 62kgw would complain if there are no AM Stereo stations receivable from the location where the show is videotaped, and he would say that a more appropriate focus for the show should be a quest to restore the old Super-62 or KISN.

Now the PDX Radio house idea with a "lab top," as pointed out earlier would be appealing to me because I could use that work bench to troubleshoot and assemble circuits.

The network would have to pick up the price of the grand prize which would be one of the probable divested CBS stations in the Portland market.

If the grand prize were a Portland area radio station, that would be really cool!! I'd be happy even if it were KBMS or one of the under-performing Bustos stations.

"Lets remember Monkeyboy that there are A LOT more guys on this board than women. But If guys are YOUR thing, than more power to ya"

I was actually thinking of Mrs_Merkin.. Don't know her,never met her,dunno what she looks like,etc,etc. It was based purely on her personality on this board.
But lets not forget that she's (happily) married.

Alfredo_t would be another choice.Same deal,dunno know him from Adam,but I do know that he is handy with a soldering iron,so at least we'd have one thing in common.

This is all assuming anybody would want to hang out with an Ape-Human in the first place. :-P

I am flattered! I subscribe to the theory of evolution, so I have no problems hanging around ape-humans.

This is a great thread with some very funny ideas. I would love to potentially hang out with just about all of you. Missing, Chris, CJ, Warner -- heck the list is endless. However, if I really had to narrow it down to just one person, it would have to be Entre_nous. As they say, go with the one you know best. :0)

You are too kind, sir. Thank you!

There is no way I could choose, I know I would find value and fun with any of you Just draw any name from the hat!

The contrarian side of me leans strongly to choosing someone I seem to be opposite of, like Broadway or Herb, just to learn something about what makes them tick and if they walk their walk. Not to argue or effect change, but to understand.

Random thought as our PDXradio reality show will never make it to air is this:

If I ever come into some extreme wealth we will bypass the reality show and just do a yearly PDXradio "camp"/weekend get together at the coast.

Odds are against me BUT I feel as though I am destined to one day hit the lottery something good!

BUT WAIT~!

You have to pay to play.

Oh shit there goes my chances at destiny.

Well for good music appreciation, Entre_Nous wins hands down.

Ooohhh, Brianl! I've got it!

You, me, Littlesongs, KSKD, and DT on our own road trip with our favorite picks from Neil's Traveling Music as the soundtrack!

Porcupine Tree...one of my new faves.

Hmmmpf!

OK. Fine. I'm going on a road trip with Edsel, MonkeyBoy, Roger, TheDude, Justin, Warner, Beano, Shy and Moto.

We'll toss Maroon 5, Josh Groban, and Clay Aiken CDs at your car like Ninja blades as we pass y'all!

Enjoy! And eat our dust, ya babies!

> If I ever come into some extreme wealth we will bypass the reality show and just do a yearly

I don't think that the idea of a group campout or "retreat" is that far-fetched. This doesn't have to be anything too fancy. If each of the participants pays his or her share, it could be very affordable.

ADD: One of the activities that I'd like to have for the techies amongst us could involve DXing and bringing unusual radios and equipment to "play with" and for show & tell. If other HAMs show up, things could get pretty interesting.

We could do one at Black Butte Ranch, just pay for cleaning and food. And Beverages.

LOL, Mrs M!


We'll recognize your caravan by the Yugo and Edsel with the Grateful Dead blasting from the speakers, followed by the smell of patchouli in the dusty wake!

That'll be us, rockin' the Motorhome and burning the "Train Wreck"...grilling burgers as we duck the CD barrage!

Black Butte sounds good...

We might as well just join forces...what a blast!

Maybe we should go to the "Sisters Folk Fest" on 9/5 so we can all see the awesome Wailin' Jenny's!

And have milkshakes & burgers at the Sno-Cap, and "pinecones" from the Sister's Bakery, too!

Hey Merkin,
Should we bring Sparklewave? we can always "accidently" leave her at a rest-stop if she starts playing her Celine Dion Cds too loud. The yugo just might crap out on us if Celine Dion is cranked on the speakers!

I love Sisters...go to the quilt show as often as I can.

Black Crowes show prevents me from going on that road trip...but there's gotta be another one that looks good...

Merkin--
"OK. Fine. I'm going on a road trip with Edsel, MonkeyBoy, Roger, TheDude, Justin, Warner, Beano, Shy and Moto."

Great.....you'll probably recognise me instantly--I'll be the one driving the dirty, beat up old Ford Bronco with the bikes attached to the back and the Muzak blaring from the CD player.......... ;o)

Alfredo--I'll bring my SCA gear and one of my sat boxes.

(Trouble is, I don't know if I can get that weekend off or not, as my work schedule has been very bizarre lately.........)

Moto, Did we see you on TV yesterday at the AST Dew tour?

SparkleWave can come, but she's riding with Entre_nous to get a good schoolin' from her and the boyz...

Not unless they were filming down at the warehouse with me.......

(Couldn't make it. The MAN had full control of my time last weekend, dammit. I wanted to go but couldn't. The Gods could have helped me had I remembered to set my VCR..........)

Oh yeah, I haven't had/used an AST in years. I threw that old POS out when I got my Aptiva a decade ago!! ;o)

PDXradio roadtrip race.

And the patchouli will almost definetely be overwhelmed by the wafting smell of ganja and fumes of smoke from the tailpipe.

> Alfredo--I'll bring my SCA gear and one of my sat boxes.

Yes! That's the spirit.

With regards to the scheduling, I had a really pleasant surprise in store for me about a week ago: the company that I'm working for now is counting the 4 years that I worked for them before being laid off in 2002. They have given me 160 hours of sabbatical time. I can be very flexible in my scheduling, as long as I schedule around a big group project that we'll be working on in September.

$#!t I can't go.......I *just* found out I have to go to a mandatory company meeting in Boise that weekend.

Sorry about that.........

(If I have time/money/extra RAM to help me remember, I'll try and bring back spuds for everyone!!)

Well, at least the company is reimbursing me for gasoline and hotel expenses....that's a definite plus.......unfortunately it doesn't look like the Red Lion qualifies for reimbursement, for some odd reason or other.

Well, if we get Sparklewave, then you pick up Marianagy, then all the badass chicks will be aboard! Misskitty?

Really, we do need to get together while the weather's still nice...

.......If other HAMs show up, things could get pretty interesting...........

I'll bring the eggs.

(and my Carly Simon and Mills Brothers CDs)

"Hmmmpf!

OK. Fine. I'm going on a road trip with Edsel, MonkeyBoy, Roger, TheDude, Justin, Warner, Beano, Shy and Moto.

We'll toss Maroon 5, Josh Groban, and Clay Aiken CDs at your car like Ninja blades as we pass y'all!

Enjoy! And eat our dust, ya babies!"


ROTFLMAO!
But,I must admit,I have been guilty of listening to Maroon5 once or twice.
I'll go spin some Pantera ASAP to make up for it!

There are times you people truly frighten me.

I am SO glad that you're back! You're in our car(s)!

Not fair!!! I had to work while you scored Chris!! LOL

Nice to see you, Chris, and you can choose any car you like

Hams...eggs...fried potatoes when Moto comes back...Yum!

But,I must admit,I have been guilty of listening to Maroon5 once or twice.
I'll go spin some Pantera ASAP to make up for it!


We forgive you Monkeyboy, but PLEASE don't let it happen again.

I think a little road trip sabotage is in order. I think it highly likely that the only sound out of the estrogen wagons speakers is likely to be all Rick Roll all the time!

I'm thinkin' this could be a race. They don't call me "Frankenstein" on road race's for nothin'. Have scorecard will travel!

...."Merkin--
"OK. Fine. I'm going on a road trip with Edsel, MonkeyBoy, Roger, TheDude, Justin, Warner, Beano, Shy and Moto."

I'm not ridin' bitch!

Merk before we go, we have to stop and pick up Jeffrey. I know he has some free time now.

We also need to swing by his old place, moon the GM, and toliet paper the station vehicles!

I think a little road trip sabotage is in order. I think it highly likely that the only sound out of the estrogen wagons speakers is likely to be all Rick Roll all the time!
What, no Treetop Flier?! LOL!

Call me sheltered or lacking in culture: I don't think that I have ever heard "Treetop Flier." I was reading through the lyrics, and they did not ring a bell.

Alfredo--
It's the bonus cut at the end of Jimmy Buffet's record "Banana Winds". I think I may have heard that record/song at least 10,000 times whilst growing up...........

But that is not the "infamous" version that keeps getting referred to around here. The true "Treetop Flier" is sung by David Crosby, and it is a song that KINK, for some unknown reason, used to play from time to time, even though many have wondered how and why such a miserable song could receive airplay so frequently.

Wanna see me chew off my own ears?

"used to play"?

They're probably (Stephen) STILL(s) playing it! If I cared, I'd go look on KINK's playlist log, I'd bet $10 that's it's been played in the last week.

you're right...it was Stephen Stills. It shows you that I'm almost (but not quite) completely successful in purging it from memory.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imq3dMUiOWE

ENJOY!

What a painful song! I feel bad for all those jocks at Kink that are stucking listening to that. It almost makes KID ROCK sound like a brilliant songwriter.(ok that might be going a bit far, but you get the picture!)

My favorite line in "treetop Flyer" is

"Don't pay taxes because I never file". (LOL)

Hey Merkin, was that Stephenn Stills perfoming "treetop Flyer" in the Kink Live performance lounge last week??

Now I'm trying to remember was it Steven Stills or David Crosby who gave a generous helping of his sperm to Melissa Ethriidge a few years back?

I like Steven Still, BUT this is definitely NOT one of his better endeavors!!!

Cool video though. I'd love to go for a plane ride like that!!

It was David Crosby that made the donation.

Can you imagine what that poor kid looks like???

OF all the potential sperm donors Melissa Ethridge had to chose from, she picked David Crosby??? WTF??

Crosby is not known for his dashing chisled body. This is going to be one ugly kid!

YUCK! Old man sperm!
I wonder if Mr. Crosby had to use a penis pump and Viagra while giving his "Donation."

Well, Melissa Ethridge is no beauty queen either.

1+1=Poor kid!!!

Speaking of Melissa Ethridge what a great melody of a live performance tonight at the DNC convention.

"Well, Melissa Ethridge is no beauty queen either."

And we on this board are all uniquely qualified to judge other peoples looks.

Bill O'Reilly trying to speak over Melissa Etheridge last night:

"Boy, that Melissa Etheridge has got a set of lungs...way to go Melissa. Time for a break"...I think he meant time for her to take a break.

Hilarious. Meanwhile, CNN was carrying atleast part of the song live.
