Live blogging starts at 7am / ends at 5pm. Newer entries will appear at the top.

10:15PM - A few more beverages and I’m spent for the night. I have to be up and alert for what is probably the longest (ahem) “broadcast” day of my (ahem) “career” tomorrow in which I will be (ahem) “on air” for no fewer than 7 hours during the course of the day. If you aren’t tired of me yet, you soon will be.

7:30PM - A light crowd at first for the 7th Planet Picture Show but pretty full by the time the movie is over. Jay Mackin is a natural for this sort of thing and manages to steer clear of excessive dead celebrity jokes this time.

6:45PM – Hanging out with Dave, the new owner from Mt. Tabor, he’s a pretty cool guy. Alex from Hike Yeah shows up and we drink beer and proceed to talk about the Android dev kit, Mac vs. Windows API’s, and … everything except hiking pretty much.

6:00PM - Trying out this new “bus” thing that everyone keeps talking about so that I can get over to the Mt. Tabor Theater for the 7th Planet Picture Show. Apparently you need something called “exact change”, I don’t have that so I walk instead… and walk… and walk…

5:00PM – Locking up and leaving. Wow, what a stressful and taxing day. Be sure to check back here tomorrow and I’ll (not)live blog the evening – retroactively. Oh yeah, and tune in tomorrow morning at 8AM for double the Portland Sucks fun as we talk to Nathaniel Boggess about Entertainment For People at 8AM and Erica from Red Light Clothing about the Naked Shopping Spree at 9AM.

4:57PM - The last show of the day is over and that means it’s beer time. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s any left… #blerg. Time to head out for a meeting with Alex from Hike Yeah at 6:30 and then off to the 7th Planet Picture Show at 7:00pm and then… well… who knows? Let’s see, that’ll take me to somewhere around 9:00 to 9:30pm – that’s about a 14 hour work day – I think I’ll mark that down for some overtime.

4:39PM – Slowly realizing that Love in the Dump Chute would make a great drinking game – today’s word is “bang”.

4:24PM – Arguing with Sabrina “Fatboy” Miller about whether or not men can wear an excessive amount of jewelry or not. She’s accused me of overdoing it today. Sabrina’s method of “arguing” pretty much consists of making a statement and then burying herself in work, pretending that she doesn’t hear my rebuttal. She lies. She hears me. She just doesn’t find this to be a fun game and doesn’t want to play anymore.

4:19PM – Oh yeah, Studio Cat won.

Studio Cat

4:14PM – There are few things more disturbing in life than wondering what that smell is and realizing that it’s you.

4:08PM – Battle Royale: February 2010! Studio Cat vs. Perpetually Running Toilet vs. RobertWagner! And now… posting today’s podcasts and going over plans for the evening hours while listening to Love in the Dump Chute

3:50PM – Nerd Report Radio guests – CosPlayers: Scott, Meg, and…. well… Meg’s sister

3:24PM - Finally back at the PDX.FM studios. Walked in on The Nerd Report, already in progress. I can’t remember what the topic of the day is – something to do with costumes or something…  UPDATE: CosPlay! Yeah, that’s what it is… Now I remember.

2:42PM - Wow, it’s an all-star cast at Big Ass Sandwiches today… Just as I’m leaving, Doug Zanger – man of a million PDX.FM broadcasts – shows up. Still a Big Ass Virgin, he’s game to try a Big Ass Ham Sandwich.

2:35PM - Badazzmofo David Walker is here now… and he has a wicked cool Spiderman hat. I can’t rock a Spiderman hat, I’m unworthy of such things.

2:29PM – Stopped by Big Ass Sandwiches and got a free Mexi-Coke (thanks!) and witnessed a wicked cool demo of a credit card processing iPhone app while enjoying a shot of their Au Jus (yes, a SHOT of their Au Jus) – I could sit here all day and drink this stuff, it’s like liquid roast beef.

2:22PM - Went to try to get Voodoo Doughnuts for the rest of the crew – not sure if Fatboy Miller has ever seen the penis doughnut or not… The line is WAY too long for my feable attention span though. Bummer.

2:09PM - I think I was just accidentally rude to someone. I feel like a dick now.

1:58PM – Someone please inform the Android WordPress plugin people to fix their permalink function, this wee little oversight makes it rather difficult to live blog with my Droid… #liveblogfail

1:48PM – Seriously, listen to Betsy Richter’s voice while playing Can I Sit Next To You? By AC/DC… yeah… ohhhh yeah.

1:41PM – Getting mail and cutting (not shredding) cheese down on 3rd Ave. Enjoy! That must be my bottled margarita coming back to haunt us.

1:25PM – no officer, I don’t need assistance. I’m just doing my best impression of those old ipod commercials… I’m sorry its not to your liking. I will do better next time.

1:04PM – Wow… I’ve never noticed how… uhhh… sultry… Betsy Richter’s voice is. Again… wow. Taking a quick 45 minute break from blogging to go run errands. Sorry. Unavoidable. Besides, I want to hear this without thinking about blogging.

12:56PM - Getting ready to listen to the WORLD PREMIERE of Betsy Richter’s new show here on the PDX.FM called “Redoing Media”…  If anyone around these parts had clue number one about media and how to redo it, well, it’d be Betsy.

12:43PM - Discussing the possibility of a PDX.FM Volleyball team… because I’m a absolutely badass volleyball player, especially when tightly wrapped in highly-binding short shorts.

12:34PM - Apparently Emily thinks Empire Labs is in the food business… which I guess they sort of are sometimes if you count the chocolate Clone-a-Willy… Otherwise, I don’t think this idea would really work.

12:31PM – Lunch is delicious… Finding out that somebody doesn’t know when to quit fucking up their website is not. And no, I’m not going to fix it, we already had that conversation and YOU said “your web guy” would “take care of everything”… Nice. How’d that work out for you?

12:10PM – Lunch! Dosariks…. or however you spell it.

11:56AM – Playing a song by Blood Eagle that features the terms “Chicken McNuggets” and “Fish Filet” – Blood Eagle will be performing at Zombotica next month. Yay. That makes me happy.

11:46AM – Holding a neck vain popping contest to see who has the most defined neck vains whilst emulating a professional wrestler. I think I would have won except I hurt myself. Unfortunately Sabrina doesn’t understand how to use my camera…

11:40AM – Chatty chatbox on FML Radio today. No, I will only play ONE song by The Doors – ever. If you don’t want to hear that ONE song by The Doors that I can actually tolerate then you’re shit out of luck, sorry. There are plenty of “ahem” classic rock options out there… Pick one.

11:29AM - Fatboys Roberts and Miller…

Fatboys Miller & Roberts

11:07AM - Getting ready for FML Radio…

10:59AM – Playing football (or soccer if you’re not from Portland) with dog poop. I didn’t win.

Poop... or makeshift sporting goods?

10:52AM - …The cleaning lady… her and I don’t get along.

10:46AM - The cleaning woman here is slowly driving me insane. I swear, she waits for me to get on the phone and then cranks on the vacuum cleaner so that I can’t hear. I can SEE her, waiting for me to say something and then POW, clicks the thing on. Next she’s start hosing everything in sight down with disinfectant foot spray because apparently we are rather germy.

10:28AM - Oooooh! Conference call is all about things that are better than sex – like coding and logic and cruise ships! They damn well better be, I’m missing a Byron Beck episode and I won’t have time to listen to it now until tomorrow. Meanwhile, Emily appears to be crashing from a lack of caffeine now that I’ve successfully stolen her morning supply.

10:13AM - I see that Fatboy Miller is leading The Oregonian peeps back upstairs to watch the Fatboy Roberts show. It doesn’t look like Byron brought any food to leave behind this time, that makes me sad…. and hungry.

10:09AM - …And off the live blog for a few minutes while I attempt to calm down and sit in on a conference call.

10:04AM - Fueled by almost an entire NOS Grape that I downed in less than 10 minutes, I beat the crap out of Emily Gibson in an impromptu hopping contest outside. No one can out hop me these days. No one.

09:56AM – Heading down to let Cort, Fatboy, and Byron Beck into the studio… Oregonian folks in hot pursuit

9:41AM - Trying out the grape NOS, cut with Mountain Dew – ok by itself, tastes like anal discharge when mixed with Mountain Dew

9:16AM – Ahhh, the morning’s first liquid through the nose was …. Yoohoo. Laughs at the expense of Gresham, which, according to Emily Gibson, is one of the southern states.

9:12AM - A conversation about “rod riding” with Emily Gibson ensues, “rod riding” of course is the hard-to-master art of riding a bicycle without a seat.

9:06AM - Today’s Meat Show features the all new Grape Flavored NOS – containing 343mg of caffeine that no one here really needs.

8:06AM - Ladies and Gentlemen, Fatboy Miller…

7:56AM – Live blogging comes to a grinding halt here for about 45 minutes as we get ready to go live at 8am on channel one…

7:36AM - Well that was pointless, no gems to be had there today…

7:34AM - I should probably start thinking about today’s Portland Sucks show and getting some notes together… When you need inspiration, look no further than the regions most inspirational ultramega-megastar, Daniel Baldwin…

7:14AM - Sabrina Miller begins her day by frantically cleaning every horizontal surface in sight. Initially I’m confused, then she reminds me that The Oregonian is sending a photographer over here today. I wonder if they’ll let me take pictures of the photographer taking pictures? Photographers almost never get their pictures taken unless it’s for that cliché shot that they all have in their bios… You know, the one where they’re facing left and snapping an important shot of something you can’t see.

6:51AM - Good morning Portland…

The view from the PDX.FM studio.

6:14AM - Coffee time at the Starbucks at 9th and Park. It’s my lame excuse to use Foursquare to be “mayor” so I do a quick check-in. If only I checked in every time I walked through the door here, I’d probably be mayor for life, but I forget half the time

5:43AM - Checking email. There’s a vague email from Jay Mackin. Turns out there won’t be a Unibash Radio today. Jay is always a little over apologetic about these things, which is sort of unnecessary, it’s not like he’s on the payroll or anything like that, we’re just happy to have him because he makes us laugh. The downside to this of course is that it forces us to do a slightly longer Portland Sucks show and no one wants that.

5:07AM – I wake up. See? It’s already exciting.

What’s this all about?

Have you ever wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes at PDX.FM? No? Well, we’re going to tell you anyway.

Every day we get at least a couple of resumes from silly, naive folks wanting to work at PDX.FM who figure this is all just fun and games – well, it is, and we want to share it.

Join us right here on Thursday, Feb. 18th at 7:00AM to find out just how seriously we take our (ahem) craft, as PDX.FM’s own RobertWagner live blogs for an almost* the entire day.

*live blogging during the Portland Sucks show WILL be limited as RW can only do so much multitasking.
