Bassdrive // Third School of Thought - Ike Throwdown

Posted by admin on Friday, September 5, 2008



It's been a rather sporadic week with school kicking up, and simultaneously being an arm-chair meteorologist; trying to predict what's going to hit, and what isn't -- lumped in with the usual routine (read as: busy). There's no worse feeling than scrambling to prepare and not having enough time to, or not having [sufficient] supplies for what could be a long-haul after a storm passes. That being said, I've been a little quiet this week in preparation for what could be a direct hit on South Florida.

I know I mentioned yesterday that there was a frenzy in the streets already, and true indeed. Although, when the crowds start forming in the bottled water aisle, and store employees are posted up at the end-caps, ready for constant re-stocking of those shelves -- take note.

Needless to say, I anticipate working like a fool over the next few days (mainly because of Ike); but then again, what else is new? Nothin' but the rent.

Back to business...

For those new to the blog, I've produced a weekly Drum and Bass radio show every Friday from 4-6pm Eastern on Bassdrive now going on 7 years. I welcome you to tune in and hear how I do my on-air thing as you prepare for the weekend. Interact with myself and other listeners via the Bassdrive chatroom or via AIM: Thirdschool.

Hurricane Ike

Posted by admin on Thursday, September 4, 2008

It never fails. Lately, whenever the hurricane season gets busy and there's multiple tropical cyclones around; the atmosphere in the streets, gas stations, and grocery stores just feels thick. People who have been complacent over the years, now know better and respect the weather events they once shrugged off as much ado about nothing.  

It'll miss us. Yeah, alright. 

It doesn't take Andrew 1992 to fix that kind of thought; but if you've been there, you know. Of course, people generally tend to forget these lessons as time passes, certainly over a decade. Although, I think the week-long (weeks in some cases), city-wide black-outs Katrina and Wilma gave us are still fresh in the minds of South Floridians; such that the frenzy of preparation is definitely out there.

You learn to keep a watchful eye for whats brewing in the Atlantic between June and November.

Even though Tropical Storm Fay was essentially a non-event for South Florida, work has been keeping me busy because of it and the storm keeps lingering over the state. All it takes is one time for you to slip on preparation, have a hurricane pull a funny track on you, and before you know it you're in the middle of a recovery and restoration mission. Experience something along the lines of Andrew or Katrina, and you know better.

No fun, but nonetheless, that's been my mission since Monday, and we're in the thick of the season right now. Say hello to Invest 94 and Invest 95 -- the orange and shaded circles.

Since we're on the topic of South Florida, I cordially invite you to get down with us at the World Famous Laundry Bar, as we get our classics on. I've been throwing around tunes in my head on this for days.
