Gumdrops absence, last Carload of Whatever

Emma Cochrane, our well-traveled and highly intelligent Women's Radio Collective Coordinator, will be filling in for me on G&L this Sunday July 19th.

Please stay tuned to the program following my regular slot, as it will be Ryan Ferko's last episode of Carload of Whatever.



I said a sort of farewell on the air last week, but I would like to reiterate my sentiments dans le blog: the Ferks is the story I will tell my grandchildren some day.

Reasons:
1) Witnessing a 3 year evolution of Carloads from its first day until its second-to-last.
2) The Bicycles show in a courtroom in the old provincial courthouse aka the Maritime Museum of British Columbia.
3) Andrea & Ryan Presents... in general. I am happy that every show was all-ages, and that we found some new venues. Lots of stress was mixed in with the fun, but I think we learned a lot.
4) Visiting Mississauga/ Toronto and staying at la maison de Ferko on a murphy bed. Ryan driving the red Durango. The largest church garage sale in southern Ontario.
5) Witnessing the early days of Old Life from the outside. In particular this priceless interview. So good on both sides of the equation.
6) Ryan + beerz + Pit

SEE YA IN TORONTOES IN JANUARY, FERKS.
