We have a celebrity among us!

Post by markc »

So there I am with the glider in the basement, swapping out the side wires, when
I hear a Visit Florida (.com) commercial spot on DC 101, and who's name and voice
do I hear?

Drumroll Please....

Bah-rahdada-rahdada-rum...

Lauren Tjaden!!!!

Extolling the adventures that await in the Sunshine State!

I almost dropped a split ring!! :P Lauren, you've got your cool & bright radio
voice down PAT. Totally fun hearing you on a local station, keep it up you
celebrity, woo-hoo!

(I'm wondering how long it'll be until we hear you mention the hang gliding
tamdem thrills that Florida can offer for mom, dad, and the kids.)

Ha,
I just got a phone message from Dave Proctor. He heard one of my radio spots and called, asking why I was trying to suck people down to this hell-hole of heat at this time of year. (It's the money...)
I was sooo sorry to miss the ECC and our annual visit, but it proved to be interesting since Paul and I ran Quest for about 6 weeks. Jim Prahl is home now so we'll have to figure out what happens next. I'll keep you posted.
BTW, I have not yet had my contract renewed with VISIT FLORIDA, and it's up in 10 days, so don't get too excited about my "celebrity" -- it may be over shortly. You could always check out my page and say something nice about me to my editors...http://www.visitflorida.com/experts/spo ... adventure/
Fly safe, fly high.
