Getting colder up here














So as evening turned to night and another avoidance of being TV-less , I began to get thoughts in my brain. 
So as I was about to cut the cord for another day and hit the rack early, (yea, right) here come a few of my crew to the Lair. 
With grub and brew in hand we decided to have a company pow-wow. In that pow-wow, we went over the status of the slower than molassiss progression of the club radio station, the crap that'd us back and trying to find one, even just one tiny sliver of a reason we even should be in Idaho. Sure Idaho is a nice and frigid place and all, but its getting colder of the attitudes that have , whether that is deserved or not reputation of AyreWolf Aviation, and all. Plus the further tarnishing of the clubs honor. Now that I'm in a spot where I can begin to make some changes in both club as well as our company I'm doing so. One of the big questions always comes up, why the fuck are we so damn loyal and all to Idaho, especially the Twin Falls area? Sure the club was started in Hagerman, in 1982, sure through us the town grew, got name recognition and all, both as Hagerman as well as its nick name Hazzard. However when was the last time any of the associate members there drove over here to Twin and said here's a few bucks to get you gig back up? Remember the grand drunk gal from Hagerman that, thanks for the lunches and a few brews, but did she do us any favors? The time of waiting for her, the time wasted with that Mandy getting me phone numbers and all, and her saying she was coming over, could have rendered us the office/studio and being able to file on time and be rockin by now. Okay didn't happen. Granted perhaps it was partly my fault. As much as I try to think things through like a human with vee-jay , and while I can't understand the big deal of requesting the concept of smooching toes in nylons to enhance or put a spotlight on the idea we love to toew, as we spell it, should make a big whoop, but it does. My thought is if I can stand the smell so be it. Of course the concept by anyone except a pro model etc would not understand its simply a gig. Not anything meant by it. But I have learned don't talk about that until we have worked with a talent for at least 6 to 9 months. I'm glad we now have a human resources manager and engineer. We have progressed, but its still not enough to get my shorts wet to staying in Idaho.
Let me give ya'll an example here. Our old shop rents for $750.00 a month, on Shoshone ave all well and good, but for $750.00 a month that's a bunch of money, considering that down out Tooele Utah way at old Larry H Millers park there, is a fully equipped shop, all the bells and whistles, from a lift to a welder for $500.00 a month, including utilities. Put Cooter's Kustmz there along with old DixieWolf Toewing and can you say money. Consider from Stansbury Island to Wendover there is not more than three toew truck services, especially with our sterling reputation there. You put LexiBelle after her makeover and all out there, we're talking , a little over $300k a year , versus the chump change we're making now, and that's just toewing. 
As far as the clubs radio gig, our new human resources manager and her hubby our engineer, is willing to make the move down there as well. But consider if your real lucky there are less than a handful of office spaces etc here,in Twin Falls under $400.00 . Even with that many of which requires me to pay for everything utilities and so on. While in the Metro Salt Lake area are places that rent for just under $300.00 with all the bells and whistles even one with an adjoining workout gym, secretary, and receptionist thats paid by all tenants, but still something. Plus being down there I'm right in the thick of most of the regions major ad agencies , meaning the potential of rather than the $1,000.00 a month ad revenue in Twin Falls versus the just over $10,000.00 with the same ad rate, charged to advertisers by us, in Salt Lake City and that area, with four already saying theyre on board once we get there. Does one need to say anything more? And as far as these model talent searches we do off CraigsList and all, in SLC , one or two phone calls to a plethoria of agencies down there and we have on air talent, on camera talent, even gals that have no problem having me smooch their toes in hose for a TV ad. Here its like your asking some gal here to have your baby. Bullshit I'm tired. Really TYRED. But I told Don tonight, I'm giving it until the Subaru is paid, trucks ready to roll and all in a row , but once they are if there isn't models here, on air talent training here and for us most importantly, LexiBelle getting her makeover both mechanically and cosmetically , or near June. If it ain't progressing by then, its me out of here with rides ready and all. Like I said I'm tyred.
Oh and as far as DukesFest? Where do you think that would roll better? Teenie Tiny Filer Idaho, or Miller SportsPark? 
More on the pm edition, oh and yes crippled as it will be, HazzardAyre goes back on air this weekend. Deets this afternoon.
L8R Ya'll
