CPAC Credentials; Radio Appearance Tonight

Okay, first up: I apologize that the site went down today. It just keeps happening. It's possible we were under spam-attack again.

Next: I'm so grateful to Mike from Red State for selecting me to be a fully-credentialed media-guy at the CPAC conference in mid-February. Whoo-hoo!

It may be difficult to work around my judge-imposed order to remain at least 500 feet away from Ann Coulter, but hopefully they relax so-called "temporary restraining orders" at these things. Otherwise, it's going to be pretty difficult to move around the joint.

Finally, I've agreed to appear on a Standford University radio show called "Shark Tank" tonight at eight EST (five on the Pacific coast, which is, frankly, the only place you can hear it... in fact, you can only probably hear it within an eight block radius of the radio mast).

The host is trying to fill up empty air, quite frankly, and he'd like you to send along any questions you might have to kzsushark@yahoo.com, because God knows he and I won't have anything to talk about otherwise. If you're somewhere in SoCal, you can listen in to KZSU (I'm still waiting to hear where it is on the dial).

It's going to be fun but nerve-wracking. I have no book to promote, nothing of particular interest to say (as long-time readers can attest), nothing especially I need to get off my chest. I'm tapped, dried up, empty, spent. I figure we'll talk about the Patriots game for five or six minutes and then maybe my extensive collection of pre-Powers of the Force Star Wars action figures.

But I'm told I should be "political" and "funny." Well, I guess we'll have to see.

Personally, I expect disaster, as I usually do (and, alas, I'm usually right about it). So, for those of you who enjoy slowing down at bus-collisions, it might be worth your time.

Update: It's on 90.1 FM in the Palo Alto area.

But it's also... oh, God... available as an RM stream everywhere, at the Stanford station homepage, which means that it's possible that more than eight people will be listening.

Not good. Not good at all.

Remember: Always judge on a curve. This is my first time doing this, and, let's be honest, I'm a retard anyway.

Also bear in mind that so-called "dead air" is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes it's used deliberately to achieve an effect, like a dramatic pause. Or something.

Update II: Jeff Goldstein bets $20 that I sound like Wally Cox. I take that as an insult, although I don't think I've ever actually heard him. Read a kick-ass kid's book co-written by him, though, about a cat who could read minds.

I hope to hell I don't sound like Wally Cox. I've always fancied myself as having a more Hasselhovian timbre to my voice.

But you'll have to be the judge, I guess.

Three thoughts:

1) Does this mean that your well guarded anonymity is now out the window?

2) Are you going to broadcast with integrity, as the only important man in eight blocks worth of airwaves?

3) Don't choke and embarass us. You have to at least rise to the Wonkette!!! level of humor. :)

Posted by: senator philabuster on January 18, 2005 03:23 PM

Looks like you can listen on line, as well as on 90.1 FM, probably within the town of Palo Alto only.

http://kzsu.stanford.edu/

They've got heart, at least on the homepage. Hope they've got integrity and conscious too.

Posted by: Alex on January 18, 2005 03:25 PM

Sweet sassy molassey! Did you see Wonkette's attempt at a marshmallow-man joke after the debate, with Tom Brokaw? Ace can do better than that with his brain in a cast.

Posted by: See-Dub on January 18, 2005 03:26 PM

I have significant radio experience. Some advice - don't step on anyone's words; when you do talk, have a soliloquy prepared; no prepared funny lines - you get nervous and blow them with bad cadence, and if the host doesn't laugh, your finished.

Last - no charts.

Posted by: Jeff Larkin on January 18, 2005 03:27 PM

Someone should live-blog Ace's appearance. Maybe Allah or Son of Nixon or Dave from Garfield Ridge can step up to the plate here.....

Posted by: senator philabuster on January 18, 2005 03:34 PM

Here it comes, Ace. I can smell that crazy blog money just around the corner.

Step 1: Appear on "Shark Tank" at Stanford Radio

Step 2: Crazy blog money

Step 3: Buy a ten zillion acre ranch complete with amusement park and petting zoo and become a hermit, emerging only to blog Larry King-level dementia on your gold plated website.

Posted by: Alex_fs on January 18, 2005 03:37 PM

That's great Ace -- you've reached the AAA level of blogging stardom... not much longer till you're called up by the majors.

Posted by: Chris on January 18, 2005 03:38 PM

Alex fs: Forgot step 4 which is why the ACE ever does anything:

Step 4: Angelina Jolie rides ACE like a Big-Wheels!

Ace vs. American Idol.

Which will America choose?

Posted by: sonofnixon on January 18, 2005 03:53 PM

"No charts" - I just got that... Heh!

Posted by: RapidTransit on January 18, 2005 04:03 PM

I'm really going to explore the studio space.

Also, I'm really going to explore an extra dose of Klonopin and two or three Miller Lights.

Posted by: ace on January 18, 2005 04:10 PM

Ace vs. American Idol.

Which will America choose?

I promise to be as mean as Simon Cowell.

And also, as gay-seeming.

Whatever it takes.

Posted by: ace on January 18, 2005 04:17 PM

Ace:
Be yourself and you will do just fine. And careful with the klonopin, you don't want to slur your speech. If you get nervious while being interviewed on the phone, try standing. Heard it in a seminar and it actually works.

Posted by: julie on January 18, 2005 04:18 PM

Great news! I will tune in over the internet. But it will be 2 o´clock at night here, when the show starts. So, you better be funny!

Posted by: Ulan Bator on January 18, 2005 04:30 PM

Holy shit, I just emailed everyone I know about the show. LOL - that rocks! Good luck Ace - just remember, if things start going sideways, and you have a hostile DJ or something, just start screaming "Don't make a fucking maniac out of me!!" - that'll win 'em over for sure.

Posted by: fat kid on January 18, 2005 04:36 PM

LOL, fat kid.

What would be great is if Ace incorporated all his inside jokes. Imagine a "don't make a maniac out of me" followed by a paragraph with "when I blog, I slice like a hammer", followed by something like "When I find myself with a writing block, I just ask myself 'What would Kevin Spacey do'?"

Posted by: senator philabuster on January 18, 2005 04:42 PM

Damn man, see-dubya has got some eclectic taste in music. Heh.

Posted by: fat kid on January 18, 2005 04:44 PM

Senator Philabuster - I just sent a list of about 6 questions calling out a bunch of the inside jokes. ie. "When you move, how do you slice?" etc etc.

Posted by: fat kid on January 18, 2005 04:46 PM

I should add they are, inevitably, questions that (when answered) *will* make a maniac out of Ace.

Oh man, I gotta figure out a way to record this...

Posted by: fat kid on January 18, 2005 04:57 PM

Don't forget to wear clean underwear. I never knew why that was important but that's my grandmother's advice for any situation. She's rarely wrong. She's also the reason I haven't worn underwear since 1971. But if I was to wear some, you can bet your ass they'd be clean.

Posted by: Bullwinkle on January 18, 2005 05:00 PM

Ace--

I just wanna wish you good luck, we're all counting on you.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 18, 2005 05:11 PM

" . . .we're all counting on you."

Oh, great, Dave. Make him *really* nervous.

Posted by: julie on January 18, 2005 05:20 PM

Ace: Just don't act like Wally Cox. Not that there is anything wrong with that. ;-)

Posted by: julie on January 18, 2005 05:23 PM

Ace, you may be a retard, but you're OUR retard. Have fun :)

Posted by: Carin on January 18, 2005 05:26 PM

/insert witty "Something about Mary" mongo reference here

Posted by: fat kid on January 18, 2005 05:28 PM

Ace,

Remember why you got into this blog-crap to begin with---

You're funnier than Oliver Willis.

That's all you have to say.

That and some Margaret Cho jokes.

Posted by: hobgoblin on January 18, 2005 05:29 PM

Am I the only one having unable to access the Standford radio website? I can't even get the Standford homesite.f

Posted by: julie on January 18, 2005 05:33 PM

And, worse, I can't even type!

Posted by: julie on January 18, 2005 05:34 PM

Every time Ace makes an Anka reference, drink.

Every time Ace makes a D&D reference, chug.

Hey Ace, is this going to be in your internet persona, or is the world going to learn your real name?

Posted by: someone on January 18, 2005 05:38 PM

$5 says he sticks to "Ace". Then again, he just might pimp slap us with a surprise screenplay deal... guess we'll just have to tune in and find out.

Posted by: fat kid on January 18, 2005 05:59 PM

heres the link for the live feeds page

Posted by: BrewFan on January 18, 2005 06:10 PM

See-dubya,

Are we going to get to hear you too?

Posted by: BrewFan on January 18, 2005 06:12 PM

Hey Ace, is this going to be in your internet persona, or is the world going to learn your real name?

Internet. Although I may insist on being called "Smitty."

Because that worked out so well last time.

Posted by: ace on January 18, 2005 06:19 PM

BrewFan:
Thanks. Can't get that to work, either. Must be me. I may need someone to liveblog it!

Posted by: julie on January 18, 2005 06:21 PM

Is this a call-in show?

Posted by: cyberdork on January 18, 2005 06:22 PM

Ace,

Yes, Stanford is in NoCal. It is liberal country, not quite Bezerkly-liberal, but watch your back.

Word.

And yes, not too much Klonopin and Miller Lights bro'. Does Dudley Moore in 10 mean anything to ya'?

BTW, I prefer Miller High Life, really I do. It's not the "Champagne of Beers" for nothing.

And lastly, as an experienced lecturer and rare-radio interviewee, I have three words for you...

Crazy.Blog.Money.

OK now kid, get out there and slice like a fucking hammer!

Conscious.

LOL.

Posted by: MeTooThen on January 18, 2005 06:23 PM

Ace,

I forgot to mention this, the signal strength of KZSU is pretty weak.

I have been able to catch it while in San Francisco, but it is pretty much a local college-thing.

Good thing Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. invented the Internet!

Will Johnny Coldcuts make an appearance?

Just askin'.

Posted by: MeTooThen on January 18, 2005 06:25 PM

Not Wally Cox. I'm thinking something along the lines of Flash Bazbo.
http://www.mp3.com/tracks/1193311/dl_streams.html

Posted by: Eric Pobirs on January 18, 2005 06:38 PM

All,

I went to the KZSU home page, clicked on the live-feed page and got nothing.

I called the station and the kind person there told me that the Shark Tank will be live-streamed.

Has anyone else tried to listen on the Internet?

Just askin'.

Posted by: MeTooThen on January 18, 2005 06:40 PM

I was listening to the wma feed. It did take 2 or 3 minutes to buffer up but once it started it was fine.

Posted by: BrewFan on January 18, 2005 06:42 PM

On kzsu 1 I listened to some crappy music and I am still waiting to access kzsu 2. Is there any difference between 1, 2, 3?

Posted by: julie on January 18, 2005 06:45 PM

Brew Fan,

Roger that.

Good on you.

Julie,

Crappy?

How about super crappy!

Posted by: MeTooThen on January 18, 2005 06:48 PM

KZSU2 and KZSU3 appear to have the same function as the 'Close Door' buttons on elevators :)

Posted by: BrewFan on January 18, 2005 06:52 PM

Ace,

I hate to keep interrupting, but, the music on KZSU is without doubt Craptastic!

So much so, that I think these are the worst songs I have ever heard.

Ever.

Posted by: MeTooThen on January 18, 2005 07:27 PM

"I'm god, I made all this"

LMFAO

WMA 1 works.

Posted by: fat kid on January 18, 2005 07:28 PM

If my retarded cat picked up a guitar and began to sing, and then got hit by a car, it would still sound better than this guy on now.

Posted by: fat kid on January 18, 2005 07:29 PM

Ace,

They just mentioned your name!

!!

Right after they played, "I grew up in a Devil Town"

Which included the lyrics, "I am a vampire myself."

Conscious.

Who is going to live-blog this?

Don't make me do it.

'Cause I will.

Word.

Posted by: MeTooThen on January 18, 2005 07:34 PM

Re: the Music:

For Julie and MeTooThen:

Crappy?

How about super crappy!

How about super-crap-a-crap-alistic-expi-crap-atrocious?

I worked at the campus radio station at Georgia in the mid-1980s, and we played some pretty suck-ass music at times, but this is really awful!

Posted by: Brad on January 18, 2005 07:35 PM

Brad,

"How about super-crap-a-crap-alistic-expi-crap-atrocious?"

ROTFLMAO!

You win.

Posted by: MeTooThen on January 18, 2005 07:39 PM

Ace is gonna be the only one with integrity in that studio.


Even though he isn't *in* the studio.

Where's Joe?

Posted by: fat kid on January 18, 2005 07:40 PM

MeTooThen:

I've never won a thread before. Cool!

Posted by: Brad on January 18, 2005 07:43 PM

Okay, if no one else wants to volunteer, I'll liveblog the thing. I've never done such a thing before, so cut me as much slack as you're going to give Ace. Or less, whatever.

And does anyone here know how to record streaming audio?

Posted by: Sobek on January 18, 2005 07:48 PM

Sobek,

Strong work.

Where do we go?

Posted by: MeTooThen on January 18, 2005 07:49 PM

Duh!

I'm slow, but I do good work.

Honest.

Posted by: MeTooThen on January 18, 2005 07:50 PM

Folks, we DEFINITELY need to record this!

Posted by: fat kid on January 18, 2005 07:54 PM

Remember, if you get in a tight spot, use the word "badger." You really can't go wrong with "badger."

Good luck!

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
