Strictly Commercial: Sunquest Solar

Here’s another KTOX commercial. This one is for Sunquest
Solar
in Bullhead City, Arizona. The desert crank is a character dear to my heart, which is why he turned up in the script.

Shoot. It’s like a big old tax-credit hootenanny.

Postscript: Dave Hayes at KTOX told me the owner of Sunquest
Solar called today, August 1, during open lines. He just wanted to say how much
he likes this ad.

That makes me happy.

“His name is Bobby. He looks like a potato.”

Beverly Hills

I played a private party with DJ Pierre Zonzon at a Beverly Hills mansion on Saturday, July 14. It was quite a place. I should have gotten a picture of the elephant tusks in the living room. I should have gotten shots of the dancers, the bikini girls, and the chick who swallowed fire.

Instead I have this: a blurry disco gummy bear, dancing on the head of a conga drum. I really need to reexamine my priorities.

Training with the Devil

I have been training for Running with the Devil, my next marathon. It’s June 23 at Lake Mead, a national recreation area east of Las Vegas, on the Nevada–Arizona border.

The course is a beautiful, torturous thing: 2,839 feet of ascent over 26.2 miles of sun and wind and searing heat. Oh man, does it hurt. I ran this one last year and it was 103 degrees when I hit the finish line.

I’ve been running on the actual course for the last couple of weeks. My lovely wife took these pictures during my twenty-mile training run last Saturday.

God, I love this stuff.
