The organizers are currently working to establish themselves as a non-profit organization and have signed up potential DJ's for programming that will broadcast over the Internet starting on January 1, 2007, until the day comes when space is made available over the broadcast spectrum, more than likely on an AM frequency.

Early sketches for a project that never came to fruition involving my friends' Koby and Matt's three cats. The lounging cat at the left corner is Chunk and he has since passed away. I wound up liking the preliminary sketches more than the paintings that never got off the ground.
