Video: Commodores at the Pima County Fair
By Ken Carr @ 3:26 AM :: 77 Views :: 0 Comments

Video featuring the Commodores at the Pima County Fair on April 18, 2010.

Here's a behind the scenes look at Mega's "Dinner with the Commodores" winner Stephanie Portillo and her guests having dinner with Commodores group members J.D. Nicholas, William King, and Walter Clyde Orange backstage as well as what it is like on stage addressing the crowd before the group performs.

I included a short piece of the concert shot from backstage but didn't include any live concert footage because that requires copyright clearance.

Enjoy.

Mega Thong!
By Ken Carr @ 12:10 AM :: 145 Views :: 0 Comments

I am super excited!

We have all kind of merchandise you can buy with the Mega logo on our Mega Merch store.  I have jokingly been saying that a Mega thong is one thing we should have.

Promotions guru Jason decided to make me happy and the Mega thong is now up on the Mega Merch store.  The coolest thong on the planet!

106.3 Outage
By Ken Carr @ 3:14 PM :: 205 Views :: 2 Comments ::

We had a technical issue occur on our 106.3 fm frequency this past Thursday afternoon (1/21) that greatly reduced our signal.

It occured during the storm that came through southern Arizona late last week.

We were unable to get engineering crews to the transmitter site on Mount Lemmon until today due to the snow, ice, and wind on the mountain.

They discovered that the transmitting tower had been damaged.  More specifically, the unusually high winds caused the tower to fall.

We are working on a solution to get that frequency back on the air as soon as possible and appreciate your patience.  In the meantime, we are broadcasting normally on our second frequency at 104.9 fm.

Update:  The engineering crews were successfully able to get 106.3 back on Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.  We are now broadcasting normally on both frequencies.

Strange but true facts
By Ken Carr @ 11:49 PM :: 194 Views :: 0 Comments
I ran across a web page that has some strange and interesting facts!

Here are a few highlights:

In the weightlessness of space a frozen pea will explode if it comes in contact with Pepsi.

Smearing a small amount of dog feces on an insect bite will relieve the itching and swelling.

SCUBA divers cannot pass gas at depths of 33 feet or below.

Replying more than 100 times to the same piece of spam e-mail will overwhelm the sender's system and interfere with their ability to send any more spam.

To human taste buds, Zima is virtually indistinguishable from zebra urine.

A dog's naked behind leaves absolutely no bacteria when pressed against carpet.

Although difficult, it's possible to start a fire by rapidly rubbing together two Cool Ranch Doritos.

NORAD Santa Tracker
By Ken Carr @ 2:52 PM :: 204 Views :: 0 Comments
One tradition that many people enjoy on Christmas Eve is tracking where Santa Claus is as he makes his travels around the world bring presents to good little girls and boys.

NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) has provided tracking of Santa Claus every year since the mid 1950's. Its high tech these days with a website and real time tracking.

There's an amazing story about how the NORAD Santa Tracker got its start. Click here if you want to read about it.

Here's the link to the NORAD Santa Tracker: Click here

Merry Christmas! Ho! Ho! Ho!
