I still remember going to the Union and meeting Nick Ray, the promotions director at the time, a slightly flamboyant man with a sunny disposition and cool demeanor, a purveyor of all things hip.He was loud and proud of his station and immediately shoved an avalanche of red and black stickers and pins in my hand, along with a sign-up sheet to join the station's staff.Before long, I was one of his minions, approaching people at football games, attending local concerts (for free!) to sit at the promo table, and helping plan stunts that would grab students' attention (Remember the massive tractor outside the Union for Farmer's Ball?).Nick took me under his wingâ€"or maybe it was his turntableâ€"and once he moved on, I took over his position, and am now the Live Events director for KJHK, and next year I'll take over as station manager.
