Win Concert tickets with me this week

You heard the announcement at 10am today on WQMX. Charley Crockett is on tour this Summer and is making a stop in Cleveland July 22nd at The Agora!

Be listening the rest of the week at 8:15 for the Not-So-Impossible Question where I will have your chance to score tickets into the show!

Good luck from the station giving you more in '24...94.9 WQMX!

Chase Rice just announced he is going to open "I Hate Cowboys", a cocktail and bourbon lounge, next to his "Welcome To The Farm" on the East Bank of the Flats this weekend! 

The bar's name comes from part of his lastest album - "I Hate Cowboys and All Dogs Go To Hell". Being a new bar in the Flats, what better weekend to open than St. Patrick's Day in Cleveland, right?!

Let's all toast Chase Rice by saying "SLAINTE"... with a southern accent ;)

Time is up!

Your time is (almost) up. The Oscars air this Sunday night at 7:00 on ABC. If you are a big movie person, did you see everything you wanted to since the nominations were announced? That is a big thing for many people to do in those roughly 6 weeks.

Who's going to win? Who's going to lose and because of that, cause a huge uproar? Tune in to find out. If you have your own fan favorites...good luck on Sunday night and enjoy the show!

AWKWARD!

Before I came into work today, I stopped at an area restaurant for dinner. As I'm sitting there eating, I hear Michael Ray's song "Holy Water". It finishes playing, and then the VERY NEXT SONG was "What He Didn't Do" by Carly Pearce! What are the odds? Good thing neither of them were in the building...haha

One of those days...

I came into work late this morning for a meeting. It lasted about an hour and then I got home around 12:30. It was cool, rainy, and just all around yucky! When I got home, I realized I could not stop yawning!

So I decided I had better eat lunch before I fall asleep. I ate, and then sat down on the couch with the TV on and the cat in my lap...and I was OUT!! I fell asleep and man did it feel great! Being under a blanket with it raining on a cool day outside, and just enough noise in the house to not be totally silent. I sincerely recommend to everyone that you try the same sometime. :)

I did it

In hindsight I should have done this yesterday too, but today I did it - broke out the shorts and sandals! I think this is the earliest I have ever done that...at least since college. It was just too nice and warm earlier today before the rain came not to. 

I also opened up the windows at home for a couple hours to get some fresh air in, espcially for Buttercup who doesn't go outside. It felt so nice to have things open and wear warmer-weather clothes for a change rather than be bundled up in a hoodie and under a blanket.

As I write this, the temperature outside is already down from 73 earlier to 63 and will continue to fall. That said, this will be a one-day thing for right now. Thankfully the days of shorts and sandals everyday are not far off in the future!

Mark on your calendar!

If you are a big fan of Garth Brooks and/or Trisha Yearwood you will want to watch Good Morning America later this week! Robin Roberts will be doing a sit down interview with BOTH Garth & Trisha from Nashville this Thursday morning on GMA.

What all will be discussed? Who knows? But I'm sure they will touch on Garth's Las Vegas residency - which by the way, WQMX is qualifying you to fly out to Vegas to check out Garth's residency at Caesars Palace. So catch the interview on GMA Thursday morning, and listen to WQMX the rest of the week for your chance to qualify to see Garth Brooks in Las Vegas!

Welcome to Spring! (Unofficially)

Today is March 1st - The unofficial first day of Spring! Today begins Meteorological Spring which runs March, April, and May.

I would say that Spring is my 2nd favorite season. The first reason is that my birthday is in April. Secondly, the days really start to get longer (can we just make Daylight Savings Time permanent already?). Lastly, I like the reality that days are getting warmer and we still have all of Summer to look forward to, and not back at.

Either way it's Friday. So whether you're like me and celebrating the start of Spring, or not...it's the start of the weekend. Be happy about that!

Happy Leap Day!

This is the day that comes around only once every 4 years - February 29th! How are you going to celebrate the day? Do you celebrate the day? I don't think there is any guidance on that. My suggestion is to celebrate by doing what the day's name suggests - jump up and down a bunch of times. HAHA

How many times? Maybe 29. Enjoy the day - and if you happen to have a birthday on February 29th...I'm sorry - unless you enjoy the notoriety.
