We finished February up 61% in sales and we're entering March 52% up from where we ended March, 2010. And, we're going to be awfully busy and mobile in March.
*Weekend coverage of ESPN College Game-Day.
*Big 12 Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament
*Rangers Training Camp in Surprise, Arizona
*NCAA Women's Final Four in Indianapolis, Indiana (Tentative)
And, this doesn't include covering the Baylor Bears football team and spring drills and girls and boys high school basketball state playoffs. The Fairfield girls are the lone Central Texas team at the Girls State Tournament this weekend in Austin.
A couple of local nuggets from the weekend.
*Harker Heights OT Camrhon Hughes gave a verbal commitment to Texas.
*Former Killeen Ellison star Tommie Harris was released by the Chicago Bears. He'll find a new home depending on when free agency continues, which won't be until after a new Collective Bargaining Agreement--and who knows when that will be?
We hosted our first show of the year from Hooters, great atmosphere but we had a technical issue off the top of the show and had some terrible audio for the first 2-3 minutes. That's frustrating and we'll figure out what went wrong on Tuesday morning, but special thanks to Zach Burke for somehow finding the issue(s) and working them out.
We're back at Hooters on Tuesday, Tilted Kilt in Killeen on Wednesday.
We're preparing for the College Game-Day weekend and our use of a 40' by a lot RV for our show on Friday and throughout the day on Saturday. This RV is a monster and we will be all over College Game Day this weekend. While I use the term preparing, I think "bracing" is more what Paul Catalina is doing...
I have him petrified of what to expect. He's young, he'll get over it.
Special thanks to Baylor University and Baylor Athletics for allowing us to think outside the box on how to promote and cover the event.
Well, I have to make a presentation early-Tuesday at a sales meeting so it's time to try and get a little decent sleep.
Oh, by the way, I had fallen asleep and completely out of nowhere I woke up in all but a cold sweat realizing I hadn't sent off a payment for a loan that was due last week. There's a grace period, so we'll be fine---but what made me think of this completely out of the blue, while sound asleep?
