First day back after another fantastic 24 Hour Relay for The Kids. The Amalgamated Team Zone over came some serious setbacks and a crushing recession to pull together and raise an astonishing $8262! A big thank you to so many Zoners who came together to help send kids to camp, but especially Captain Rhaye, BC Smoke Shop, The Bulletproof Babes, and Aegis Fang.
A few highlights… well off the top, the team Wasted Talent has a Drinko Plinko board game in tent city that crushed. I enjoyed tipping pints with members of the Sharpies and The Canoe Brewpub. Wayne from the BC Smokeshop brought a keg, so that makes him a pretty special humanitarian in my world.
Allie The Zone Ranger and Bank Girl somehow managed to rally hard late, and stay up with me when it was my turn to jock the Zone @ 91-3’s water station during the witching hours of 4-7AM.
I think the key for me actually surviving the weekend and not dry heaving in my parking lot at 11 AM while unpacking; was the fact that I went home for a square dinner and a nap before coming back for the late night shenanigans.
Already, we’re talking about next year ‘round these parts. Part of me want sot form TWO teams. I don’t think Coral will be too into that idea. But I think it would be cool to have a team of athletes and kids to compete in the running aspect of the 24 Hour Relay and leave the drinking of general hippy drum circles to the Amalgamated Team Zone.
I want to call the Kids team, The Junior Zees or The Fashionable Guns. What do you think?

Hey Jeremy,
You have to help me out! You played a song last week during my drive home, I dunno, maybe around 5ish, it was by a band called Sex Ed I thought, it is driving me crazy, they were really good but I can’t find anything on YouTube or anywhere…..I think they are from Van and he had written the songs for his girlfriend while he was in college and then they kind of got discovered when his songs got distributed somehow around his campus.
Thanks so much,
Lauren
Hey Lauren,
You’re awesome. That song/band is one of my favourites right now. From what you’re told me, I think it was Passion Pit (that’s the artist that wrote all the music for his girl while in college and he’s from Massachusetts) and the song we’re featuring on the Zone is called “The Reeling” from the record Manners.
I hope that helps. If it is incorrect, let me know and we’ll try something else or I’ll need more info.
Thank you for the email.
Rock.
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
I meant to write down the name of the first song/band you played yesterday on connect three but I flailed! Can you tell me what it was? It really was epic.

Hey Jaime,
It was Boxcar Racer – “I Feel So.”
I hope that helps. Thank you for listening to my radio show.

Thanks Jeremy –
I must have screwed the date or the placement up or something, I meant the Airborn Toxic Event! But I found it and thanks for the great new music!
