Stuck In Thee Garage #49: September 5, 2014

Birthdays are always a big deal, but first birthdays are huge accomplishments. Which is why it's exciting that both Stuck In Thee Garage and BFF.fm celebrated their first year of existence this week. I was one of the first DJs to jump on board when the station kicked off last September; I actually recorded the first show before we went on vacation in August but the station launch didn't happen for a few more weeks.

It's been fun to watch the station really grow into a presence on the San Francisco rock scene, amassing a full schedule of radio shows hosted almost entirely by live DJs in the BFF studios. I, along with several others, create pre-recorded shows for the station from afar; it'd be awesome to do one live in the studio someday, but I don't get to San Francisco too often (last time was 1999).



At any rate, kudos to Amanda and Forrest Guest for successfully kicking ass with BFF. The station literally started on a beat-up laptop and has become a force to be reckoned with. I'm proud to be a small part of it. And I'm having a blast doing this show.
