The guys just expressed a desire to see Waitress, because Andy Griffith is in it (they're HUGE fans of The Andy Griffith Show)!

Since that Disneyland event was last Thursday, the phone lines have been refreshingly clear!
I called in on Tuesday (Preva's normal day off), and told Switchboarder Billy that "Nathan Fillion, the Sheriff in SLiTHER, is the lead actor in Waitress."
He wasn't able to put me on air with the guys because of the 6:30 game, but he said I could call back.
When I did, and I started to remind him what I'd been calling about, I couldn't help but mention Firefly, and he suddenly remembered me from the times I've called in before (I'd explained to him last time about the brown coats, so he knows me now as "Browncoat Chris")!
He let me play him a clip I'd put on my little digital voice recorder (the "You've never heard of Reavers?" exchange (I thought it was the shortest thing I could play that'd have the most impact)), and he thought it sounded cool, so he gave me a "valid" email address so I could send more stuff.
I spent several hours writing up a nice, "tidy" summary of what we've been trying to do for Firefly, with links to audio files, YouTube clips & Wikipedia entries, and sent it off.
Called in Wednesday to let him know to look for it, and he said he'd email a reply when he got it.
Called in just now to make sure I got the address right, and he apologized for not checking email the day before, and I thanked him for "being so gracious about this whole thing." He seemed to appreciate that.
Billy's the coolest, and he's gonna be handling the phones for the next few days (Preva's on vacation), so maybe give him a call at 800.955.KLOS just to thank him for putting up with me so well!

This is a really cool project that people are doing. I haven't actually heard of these two people (don't listen to much radio). What radio station is it at what time? I live near LA, so I would be able to get it. And if you could re-post all of the phone numbers, fax numbers and stuff, then it would be nice to have them all in one place. Also, have you gotten a reply from Billy yet?

Thanks! If I hear anything, I'll let you know. I'm too squeamish and nervous to call, but I'll probably end up faxing them something if nothing shows up within the next few days. It's shiny work that you have one, keep going!

Yesterday, Mark was talking about his weekend visit to Boston to get his son set up with housing for college, and how amazed they both were at the size of the insects ("That fly was about the size of a dime!"), and Brian replied, "It's true, people on the West coast don't know what real bugs are, like in the Mid West and the East coast. They've never seen a firefly..."
I think that's the only time they'll ever say "firefly" on-air.
I've been telling Billy the Screener about the CSTS screenings, the launch to the Space Station, Firefly at the Mission, the Universal HD showings...
