Yesterday before the show, Bethany and I thought it would be fun to do a "ticket ambush". Basically we would totally surprise some fans with tickets to The Lady Antebellum show and a chance to go to Hunter Hayes' sound check and meet the young superstar. All thanks to Warner Music Nashville. It was a lot more work than we thought it would be , but it sure was fun to make someone's day. R

With the amazing Saratoga Brewfest on the way in June, we thought we would try to do a beer tasing contest but not with the amazing craft brews you will find at Saratoga Brewfest, we were wondering which of the three big DOMESTIC light beers we would prefer if we didn't know what we were drinking.

Have you ever wanted to go back to the house you grew up in? Have you ever wanted to relive your first date with your spouse? These things are impossible but sometimes, when you least expect it, something brings you back in time on such an emotional level you almost feel like you are there.

Talk about a great throwback Thursday! 12 years ago in 2003 a little 5 year old boy named Patrick came into the morning show on WGNA to sing for a superstar search we were having. He was so adorable and did just about as good as any 5 year old can do under those circumstances.

Maureen Hancock never ceases to amaze us when she comes on the show. Today was no exception. When we first spoke to her she was a little hesitant because she had done a live show last night and thought that because she was tired it might be harder for her to get messages or to at least be clear about what she was getting. This proved to not be the case at all.

First things first, do NOT try this at home. Seriously, while it seems sort of simple and easy to do, when you get a good amount of these evil Peeps in your mouth it can get a bit overwhelming. So, don't do it. That said we had a challenge from a boss and the winner basically gets a half day off. For time off you don't have to twist my arm!

Wow, tomorrow morning is a bit supercharged with great prizes! I love it. Not only will you have a chance at pit passes for the Zac Brown Band at SPAC, but we also JUST got word that we will have great seats, UP FRONT to Jay Leno to give away as well.
