Intern Sandra here! I’m back from Creation and getting back into the daily swing of things.

Today I resumed my Out and About schedule by visiting the Weaverland Day Camp.  The kids asked me questions about how the radio works, and what it’s like to be an intern.  They really picked my brain, asking me everything from who my favorite WJTL artist is to how we pick the music to play on air.  I had a blast visiting with them and handing out some Kids Cookie Break goodies!

Be sure to stay tuned in on Thursday mornings for more of my adventures Out and About!

RADIO FRIEND PHIL – Greetings! It’s time for this week’s New Tunes at 9 Roundup. (New Tunes at 9, one-hour of new and emerging music, weeknights at 9 p.m. on WJTL.) Skillet’s appearance at Creation last week coincided with the release of their new project, “Rise,” and, for all intents and purposes, this is their strongest project, both musically and lyrically. Skillet has released numerous records of merit since 1996: their self-titled debut, “Alien Youth,” “Invincible,” “Collide,” Comatose, and “Awake”—all fine records in their own right. With “Rise,” though, Skillet has created their masterwork; it combines the band’s keyboard-based symphonic rock sound, with an added emphasis on organic instrumentation (and showcases the strengths of vocalist and keyboardist Korey Cooper, the wife of front man, John Cooper).

John Cooper says, “This is a story about your typical American teenager. He’s coming into adulthood and he’s faced everyday with the horrors that we see every day—floods, bombings, earthquakes, school shootings. He’s also faced with his own problems from his family life. It’s about his path to salvation, and wanting to be significant. The record has a lot of ups and downs, all leading to his salvation experience.” For more on Skillet, go http://www.skillet.com/rise You’ll  find facebook, you-tube videos, various ‘Rise’ music packages, the ‘pan-head ‘page and a link to buy the new disc on iTunes.

Day two brought rain and a river that ran through our tent.  Though it sounds dreary, the day as a whole was equally as good as day one.  My six frisbees were gone within a hour of people guessing the #1 condiment in the US.  Some said ketchup, others said mayo, but the correct answer was mustard.  Did you get it right?  Before the rain came, the people came in waves to be considered for the two hot air balloon tickets; our tent was packed.  But only one person could be the winner and that person was Gabrielle Capper of Altoona, Pa.  Congrats!

In this world there are universal things everybody loves: contemporary Christian music, Kristi Leigh, and free Chick-fil-A.  Tomorrow I will be giving away free Chick-fil-A for a year.  Yes, you read that right.  If you win tomorrow, you will be eating one Chick-fil-A sandwich, every week, until Creation 2014!  Besides free Chick-fil-A, I have t-shirts, cinch bags, and coffee mugs to give away.  But if you’ve learned anything from todays Frisbee giveaway, you’d know I love fun facts.  So here we go: The average hot dog is consumed in how many bites?  Guess correctly and you’ll be walking away with a t-shirt, coffee mug, or cinch bag.  Good luck!
