Well this week has been crazy so far - it all began on Monday when my radio class visited the MCM entertainment studios. That's where they make the syndicated radio shows like Planet Rock, Take 40 Australia and several other shows. In fact Miss Ricki Lee from Australian Idol was there being interviewed by BARRY BISSEL while we were there. And any Aussie who doesn't know who Barry Bissel is needs to be shot on site (eg. Rosie who takes our class for webdesign). He's like one of Australia's radio legends. He is awesome.
Anyway so we were all there waiting for some business cards to put in our contact books when Jim says to us all that eagle fm in Goulburn is looking for someone to replace Rossco the hot 20 host for four weeks while he goes to cooma. Immediately my jaw drops - I was there for two weeks last semester - it was right up my alley because i knew how it worked. Michelle and Fitzy were also interested as we all do the Hot 20 show on 102 the Basement (which you can only listen to if you go to Swinburne Uni in Hawthorn and sit in the foyer of BA building on level 1). And I thought okay, i should make up a demo - i'll do it later.
I turn up on Tuesday for the tutorial and Jim is like - "Evelyn, Blair talked about getting you for the hot 20" and i thought - Holy Shit this is serious, they actually wanted me for it. So Jim is like, Let's call Blair right now.
But we didn't - i freaked and decided I shoudl calm down first and think about what I was gonna say. So about two hours later i made a call spoke with Blair about getting a demo in and then started making one right away.
I pre-recorded a hot 20 shift tuesday night - finished it than decided i would air check it with jim and take the best talk breaks and use that in a demo. The next day i turn up and Jim was like "Some of it is good - you need to stay more focused. Do a few more breaks" So I spent an hour re-doing a few breaks did some hot 20 specific things like the quiz and stuff...and then got jim to listen to it. He liked it alot better - in fact he was extremely happy with it - I put the breaks together, edited the endings and starts then i made it into an mp3 and then ran up stairs from level 6-10 (the lifts were fucked) and got onto a comp and emailed it to blair. Ran back down from level 10-6 (lifts were still fucked) then i got my stuff, left, went to the swinny courtyard tuckshop (IT'S NOT A CAFE) got a roll walked to the train station and went home. When I got home and checked my email I recieved a reply already from Blair asking for my mobile number.
So that's where I am at right now. Last night I was also freaking out about the band - i thought they'd hate me for going away for a month , but they denniz was the first to speak up and say that career comes first. Which i feel better about, and they understand i think..so it went better than expected. I thought i was gonna get this commitment shit again - i think james also did some more truth stretching back then. but oh well - it's james. he's most well known for talking from his rear end ;)
But it'll be good - i'll be able to save money and buy a fricken bass amp cos im sick of spending 12 bucks each week hiring one.

BUT THIS IS NOT DEFINATE. I may not get the job - but i think i have an extremely good chance of getting it. BUT if u do get it - i'd have to leave this weekend. pref sunday.
