Julia, how about a camera shot of production crew when video music rights not available ?

by GherkinCat 3/22/2014 11:07:22 PM
Go GREGG!

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:07:26 PM
*laughing* Dave, I just might do that but I think the producer has to unlock the ankle bracelet here..

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:07:57 PM
The intermission seems longer on the radio...

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 11:08:08 PM
chains Julia?

by OldLion 3/22/2014 11:08:27 PM
I'm not sure the Show Band gets the credit they deserve. They are fantastic.

by William Smith 3/22/2014 11:08:28 PM
GherkinCat, I don't even think we could fit a real camera in here.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:08:40 PM
Google Glass!

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 11:08:53 PM
William Smith types the truth right there.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:08:54 PM

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 11:09:41 PM
Je vous adore ... why would you stand by the door if you want a good view ? / Me and my High School French laughed outloud

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:10:04 PM
You mean Guy's All-Star Shoe Band?

by Chak Man Yeung 3/22/2014 11:10:21 PM
The one and only

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 11:10:33 PM
do you always get this silly after intermission Julia?

by OldLion 3/22/2014 11:10:49 PM
I guess it would be the several and only

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 11:10:56 PM
Time for Greetings! I'd like to send out a personal inline greeting here to the St. Jerome's Alumni crew who are out enjoying a beverage tonight, may they enjoy one for me from a distance.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:11:09 PM
Three cheers for the Shoe Band!

by Dave 3/22/2014 11:11:10 PM
No room for a camera...certainly for a flask

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 11:11:15 PM
Hip Hip Hurray!

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 11:11:24 PM
OldLion I'm pretty punchy the whole show long, it's too much fun, why be stoic? Will I lose my Minnesotan rights?

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:12:00 PM
Shout out to the 302nd Military Police Co. from Grand Prairie, TX

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 11:12:03 PM
I think maybe Julia needs to have fresh air pumped in *chuckle*

by OldLion 3/22/2014 11:12:18 PM
lol OldLion

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 11:12:33 PM
no don'tg think so Julia

by OldLion 3/22/2014 11:12:43 PM
Julia, I think you'd lose them if you WERE too stoic...it's just a different state - in so many more ways than one.

by Will Westerfield 3/22/2014 11:12:58 PM
You are good people!

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:13:32 PM
so says you

by OldLion 3/22/2014 11:13:53 PM
One moment here, gotta give the clarinet its due. What a great instrument.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:14:12 PM
I've always said that true PHC fans have their own sense of humor.

by Dave 3/22/2014 11:14:24 PM
Very true, Dave.

by Will Westerfield 3/22/2014 11:14:57 PM
I've past the age where I have to be good

by OldLion 3/22/2014 11:15:01 PM
OK listening on radio, this sounds like lyrics they made up.. why could they not broadcast that?

by DwarnoldfromFlorida 3/22/2014 11:15:26 PM
Hello, everyone.

by J.R. 3/22/2014 11:15:46 PM
Apparently true PHC fans also tailgate. Anyone else see that Portlandia skit?!

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:15:50 PM
they added lyrics

by OldLion 3/22/2014 11:15:55 PM
Hello J.R.!

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:16:17 PM

by Ed 3/22/2014 11:16:44 PM
The vid crew has a pretty strict list here, and we're going to go by the book.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 11:16:48 PM
Safe than sorry with broadcast rights...mistakes can be very expensive.

by Will Westerfield 3/22/2014 11:17:27 PM
So far so good. I really enjoy this.
