Everyone involved with The Show is particularly uptight and stressed out today.  I already overheard Shawn ask Jess if he wants to "take it outside," and according to JM, Cheryl ran into his office and kicked him once in each shin.  No, these actions aren't the result of a mean case of the Mondays; it's because tomorrow is the premiere of The Show. 

So here it is.  Tomorrow is a day that has been over three months in the making.  As I said in my first entry: "ready or not, here we come."  Well, we are absolutely, 100%, without-a-doubt ready for our first show.  Sort of. 

Lucky for us, there are a lot of things that we do have ready.

We have a show rundown sheet completed, which is a comforting document.  Its main talking points center around the Olympics, and our first guest will be the always witty, and sometimes informative AOL & Denver Post columnist Jim Armstrong.  You may know him from his Friday and Monday columns: "Don't Miss. . ." and "Did You See That!?!"  Along with Armstrong, we will be talking with Olympic coverage specialist and Captain of the Cool Name Team, Shay-Sha Pancholi from AOL Sports.

We have a studio almost ready.  I'm sure you are thinking, "Wait just a tic, isn't a completed studio vital to a radio show?"  Well, you'd think so, but you'd be wrong.  Studios are way overrated.  Put it this way: We have enough of a fully functional studio to put on a show.  Soon enough the studio will be completed entirely. 

We have an on-air screen name and email address to field member's comments (this is where you come into play).  I know all 276 (give or take) of you who have viewed my blog are going to be listening to the show tomorrow between 12-1 PM.  So make yourself useful and join in on the discussion by IMing us at CrashTheShow or emailing us at crashtheshow@aol.com.  If all this technology hasn't blown your mind yet, it's about to when I tell you that we even have a phone number.  You can call The Show at 1-866-382-SHOW (1-866-382-7496). 

We have an industrial size box of "Oops!I Crapped My Pants Adult Diapers" for our first moment of chaos or panic, which is sure to occur not long into the first show.  I think Shawn has been wearing a pair for the last week. 

Although they are not an official sponsor of The Show, I will still give the good folks at Oops! I Crapped My Pants a plug.

And last, and most importantly, we have time.  We have time, as they say in the industry, "to get our feet wet."  The Show is not being heavily promoted yet.  So we have a couple weeks to figure out what works and what sucks.  Hopefully the parts that suck will be held to a minimum.
