WBOS has talent!

Jenn here, I'm the Director of Marketing & Promotions for 'BOS. This means that I oversee all the stuff you read on our website, all of the events, and the people that you meet on the streets...this means that I'm somewhat behind the face of WBOS!

Anyway...enough about me...the real reason I took over the Promotions Blog is to write about talent. Now sure, you're thinking I'm in radio...of course I'm surrounded by talent, but I'm talking about secret talents...the ones that people have that they cultivate in their spare time, that being said, I want to talk about one of our Street Team guys - Mark!

Earlier today Lauren LaRocque from WBOS' Adopted HD 2 Sister Station Radio You came in and told us about Mark's budding singing career, so Crystal, the WBOS Assistant Promotions Director and I took a moment to check out his MySpace and take a listen -

The Verdict - FANTASTIC! He's like a little Justin Timberlake or "JT" as the kids these days call him! All of this just goes to show you learn something new about people everyday! And as a special treat - Click here to visit Mark's MySpace and hear the song that intrigued me today!

Street Team Adventure #1 - The History of 1.5

Hey there Jason and 1.5(See Picture) here from the WBOS Street Team. Hmmmmmmmm 1.5? Who or what is that? Well here is alittle history about that.

I (Jason) had been at WBOS for awhile, when a new male intern was hired. His name was JASON!!!!! The foundation of WBOS was in ruins....the thought of two Jasons in WBOS was unbearable and the future was doomed. Crystal and Jenn (Promo Dept. aka our bosses) were put in quite the quagmire, and had no idea how to identify us.......believe you me we look nothing alike but with the same name I rather be his twin.

It got to the point where there was only room for one Jason. It was a dark rainy day in Boston when I came in to WBOS and found the other Jason sitting at the computer I had used since I started. I pulled him aside very aggressively and told him this can't continue "I am Jason and have been Jason since I started so you...you....". I was flustered and came up with nothing. He laughed me off and continued to update our website. As I worked at a different computer then usual, I came up with a solution.......Give him a nickname! I then turned to "Jason" and said "I know how to make this work, You will no longer be known as Jason.....You are now deemed 1.5. He smiled and said "I like it". The meaning is I am Jason and he is another form the 1.5. Does it make much sense NO but it has worked ever since. Now the Sun shine upon WBOS and everyone works in harmony.

So there you go that is the history of the Jasons now Jason and 1.5 So next time you hear that WBOS is making an appearence please come out and ask about 1.5 and Jason and take a cd opener.

This is only the first of many blogs you will read from the street team....it might not always be us you will read from Becca,Lauren,Mark, 1.5 , Jason , and future street teamers. We will post about different promos and things we see out there so come to our appearences and you yes YOU might be a topic on the next Street team Adventures.
