Sometime before 4 pm today on air, I’m going to ask you a simple question about this blog post.  If you’re the 4th caller and can answer correctly, you’re going to win a $50 gift certificate to TNT Tanning AND GET QUALIFIED FOR A PAIR OF TICKETS TO SEE NKOTB AT THE Q 10/3, PLUS YOU’LL MEET THE BOYS AND NATASHA BEDINGFIELD!!!  COURTESY OF INTERSCOPE RECORDS.

My thoughts on last night’s Emmy Awards:  nothing spectacular.  I liked the Josh Groban performance.  I liked looking at all of the gorgeous dresses.  I WISH Mary Louise Parker would have won for WEEDS because I think she is phenomenal.  (although I am a big Tina Fey fan too!).  The pre-scripted bits ran a bit too long, there were awkward moments throughout the show and I wished I would have found more entertainment in it overall.  BUT, I DID watch it.  The fashion is probably my favorite part.  And I decided to vote on who I thought was worst-dressed.  Lauren Conrad.  Not because I don’t like this dress, because I do!  It’s just that this girl is so stinkin’ cute and young, I wish she would have chosen a dress that showed off her figure a bit more and was age-appropriate for her.  I think Glenn Close should have worn this dress instead… would have been better than the one she chose…

Can you post on your blog and mention on the air…another large dog event …westside this weekend.

It all started at the Tribe Game on Friday night… fortunately the rain stayed away just long enough for an Indians 12-5 win over the Kansas City Royals… AND, the biggest news of the night?!? The secret identity of KETCHUP was revealed! Here he is!   

Then, Saturday morning brought lots of rain but that didn’t stop anyone from coming out to support a great cause that’s very close to my heart… The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure!  Above, Nancy Alden, my “g” from our sister station WDOK, and myself on the main stage… each year we honorary co-chair the event.     

One of my new friends and fan of Q104, Gabby, stopped by to say hi before she participated in the race!  Isn’t it great to see people of all ages coming out to support breast cancer research?  She was adorable and a trooper for being out there in the rain!!    

The girls from Theta Phi Alpha!  They were SO SUPER fun and fans of Q104… (if you gals are checking out this blog, email me your names so I can post them here!!!  jen@q104.com)     

Everyone gets warmed up by doing JAZZERCIZE!!!!  Again, rain was NO ISSUE (even though it didn’t let up even once all morning)! Everyone was having a blast!    

My mom is an 8 year breast cancer survivor, and she and my dad (seen above far r.) come to the race every year with me. This year my brother, Jonny, joined us to support the cause too!     

Myself, Nancy Alden, and Mama Toohey!     

After the race, had a little bit of downtime in the afternoon then had to get all gussied up and head down to the NATAS 39th Annual Emmy Awards at the Cleveland Marriott Downtown at Key Center.  I was a presenter and boy was it fun!  Although, I do have to say, the whole time I was waiting backstage to go out there in front of a room full of people all I could think about was the movie the “Bodyguard” with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner… I kept looking for a guy with a camera that doubled as a gun and guys talking into secret walkie talkies in their watches… yes, I know I’m ridiculous… it made me giggle.  Abby Ham and Mark Nolan from Channel 3 were also presenters and got to hang with them backstage for a bit… 

…AUTUMN!

I’ve been an Idol fan for many of the seasons, and only went to the live show the year that Fantasia won.  I am SO GLAD I went last night!  ALL OF THEM are super talented… I swear they must be nervous on TV when they sound “pitchy”… because in real life?  They all sounded flawless!  It was a GREAT show… and our seats were so fantastic that I got some really great up close pix to share!  After the show, I was lucky enough to get to go and meet the crew… see all the pix below.  WOW.  I am still in awe.  I LOVED this experience.

David Cook was so gracious and friendly… took his time and talked to everyone… said we’ll hear his new music in November!

Syesha Mercado… she is so super gorgeous up close!

Michael Johns… his grandmother-in-law was in the audience sitting right behind us!  He says we may hear some new music from him after the first of the year… maybe sooner!

Chikizie was WAY more soft-spoken than I would have imagined!

Jason Castro was SUPER cool… I told him that he should sing “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz… he said he wished he was the one that recorded it!  So down-to-earth and friendly…

She’s tall!  And MAN can that girl sing!  I had goosebumps…

She was just as sweet as you would imagine…

Paula was right, Archuletta is SUPER SQUEEZEABLE!  I told him that “Crush” won the Now Music Challenge 5 nights in a row on Q104 and he was so excited!  He wanted to know what songs he beat!

This is just perfection… I mean, c’mon now?? DAVID COOK!

… DAWG!!!
