LIVE for 175 is up and running again. This event has been going on for 6 years total, but I've only known about it for 3 years. The love for the event has been increasingly growing over those years. So finally they gave the community a chance to volunteer and participate in the actual event and not just support the radio DJ. So I stepped up. This year is "Cycling to Break the Cycle." If you don't know of the event it's a week long event (about 175 hours) in which they promote the message that "It shouldn't hurt to be a child." It's child abuse awareness and they broadcast Live for 175 hours. So this year the bicycles are producing the electricity for the equipment to broadcast over the radio. I have signed up to cycle for 1 hour everyday of the event from Midnight to 1AM. So if you want to check me out you can watch the live stream at 1033kissfm.com. Already asleep by then? Well then you can watch other people cycle any time of the day! lol One thing I have been doing since year 1 for me has been making signs WITH lights!* So the first year was pretty lame, last year was very pretty and this year well it wasn't a sign, but I added some lights to my shoes! So when I cycle you can see my feet peddling! lol At least that is the idea of it. Every year I keep setting the bar just a little higher and I like the challenge to create something new for each year. This year was especially hard. I tried so many sets of lights and all of them failing. Lights breaking and going out and it has been sad, but I kept trying and though it's not as cool as the original idea...they are pretty stylish none the less! I've already had people ask me where I bought them! :] I will post a picture of them here soon when I can get a good ipad picture and not just my phone. I just had to post this already because I was ultra excited about the event and had to tell you all!
*Off topic....the first year when I showed up with my sign I was asked what made me think of lights on a sign. I have to give credit to my dad. I will never forget the most amazing Nsync sign that was strung up with battery operated lights. Let's just say Nsync themselves at the concert pointed in my direction and made a comment to the sign being awesome. Maybe it was me they pointed to and maybe it wasn't, but I am gonna say it was me! I'd give a good chance that it was me because walking to the car after the concert was over I had several people comment that they sat on the other side of the stadium and even saw it from over there! So all I got to say is "Bravo Dad!"
