Hey there! The first Hello Pretty City show on Exit 97.7 is nearly here! I even know what the first song is going to be! I'm starting to pick out songs for upcoming shows, too. Last week I checked out the newest Ben Kweller album from the library and I really like it.
Today I read a great story about Radio Mogadishu in the New York Times. Here's the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/world/africa/30mogadishu.html

Today is my last show on WRPI
I'm sad to write this to you: Today is my last show on WRPI, 91.5fm. But there is happy news: Hello Pretty City is moving to WEXT, 97.7fm and online at www.exit977.org!!!
The new day and time slot will be decided soon and I will write it here when I know. I hope that the first show on WEXT will be next week. I hope you will consider coming to the Hello Pretty City concert this Friday night at Valentines. Four amazing bands will be there to help us celebrate seven years of Hello Pretty City: Brown Bird, The Charlie Watts Riots, Pony in the Pancake, and The Landlines. Starts at 8 and costs $8. It will feel good to be there!
Please, kind listener, know that I'm not leaving WRPI for any reason other than my schedule is changing and I need to be at work on weekday mornings. I am truly thankful to be able to find a way to continue doing the radio show, even though it will be on another station.

The staff, students, and community members of WRPI have shown me the utmost kindness, sincerity, and support during this process. (When you listen to WRPI, keep an ear open for my voice, as I'm hoping to fill-in for other djs as needed, especially during the summer.)
