We dined on Shrimp Tempura & Penne Pasta, while sipping wine & viewing the movie.  Thanks to ...http://www.k-hits.com/drewjohnson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10395198[email protected] (Drew Johnson)http://www.k-hits.com/drewjohnson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10395198Fri, 15 Jun 2012 17:08:58 GMTWhether you're a simple man workin for MCA, or a sharp dressed man wearin cheap sunglasses, you'll like our concert announcement Friday at 7am on K-HITS 96!    http://www.k-hits.com/drewjohnson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10391279[email protected] (Drew Johnson)http://www.k-hits.com/drewjohnson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10391279Thu, 07 Jun 2012 16:38:36 GMTI don't watch much prime time television & when I am in front of the tv, it's usually to watch the Cardinals.  However, at the suggestion of a friend, I began watching "Mad Men".  Once I started, I couldn't stop!  It was like an addiction.  I borrowed the entire first 3 seasons from my friend, then started watching the live episodes.  LOVE that program & if you have not seen it on AMC, shame on you!  It's a great show!!!  Anyhow, while watching, I was intrigued by the promo's for a new show on AMC called "The Pitch".  Now I'm hooked on it.  In fact, I went to "On Demand" and caught up on all the episodes (for free) and it's REALLY good.  2 advertising agencies compete for a client's ad dollars.  Different agencies from different parts of the country compete each week.  Check it out, if you haven't seen ...http://www.k-hits.com/drewjohnson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10389198[email protected] (Drew Johnson)http://www.k-hits.com/drewjohnson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10389198Fri, 01 Jun 2012 15:30:38 GMTThis past Sunday was the annual "Frieze Ride For Cancer" & it was a GREAT turnout!  Over 700 bikers showed up to support the cancer society.  The ride began at Frieze Harley Davidson in O'fallon, Illinois & ended at GCS Ballpark with a silent auction of more than 30 baskets.  Including a guitar that K-HIts provided, autographed by Dennis DeYoung from Styx & Lou Gramm, long time vocalist of Foreigner.  Had a great time with our "Live" broadcast Saturday, while signing up riders & giving away prizes.   Thanks to everybody that came out!!!    http://www.k-hits.com/drewjohnson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10385405[email protected] (Drew Johnson)http://www.k-hits.com/drewjohnson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10385405Mon, 21 May 2012 21:25:18 GMT  Friday, May 18th, I'll be at The Gateway Grizzlies season opener broadcasting "Live" at GCS Ballpark.  We'll have special "Opening Day T-Shirts" & other stuff to give away while we're there.  The first 1000 people to enter the gate get a GCS rally towel.
