We're Here!

So, I should probably introduce us. My name is Jennifer and my partner is Chrissy. We're lesbians. Thank you. Thank you. We're pretty proud of that too. I brought the idea for a weekly/bi-weekly recorded show to Chrissy at the beginning of November 2009. She laughed. And, then I explained to her what I wanted to do. I told her that I want to run my own website, record a show for the LGBTQ community, be ourselves, read some news, maybe give away stuff with contests and just have fun with it. It would be my new hobby. After the lightbulb went on above her head and she had an "a-ha" moment, I started doing some research. I contacted one of my best friends who is a computer/IT guru and explained to him what I was looking for. Before you know it, www.pinkkittyradio.com was born. Our debut show was recorded on November 21, 2009 and I'll be honest.. it sucked. lol I wasn't very familiar with the audio computer program that we use, the music was a lot louder than us talking and there was too much music, not enough us. So, we changed the format and recorded again the next week. Gradually, we've gotten better and so has the show.



One of the things that I've enjoyed about having the Pink Kitty Radio Show is finding gay/lesbian bands to play. One of my favorites happens to be a group local to Long Beach, CA. Ask Alice hasn't been playing together for very long but, their music and their sound say differently. I originally found them on Facebook and saw the link to some of their music on their Myspace page. After listening to their music, I contacted their lead singer Annie Parkhurst and asked where I could get more. I immediately downloaded their cd, Loaded, on iTunes and played one of their songs on the show. Ask Alice was a huge hit with me and Chrissy as well as our listeners. A few days later, I was looking through Facebook statuses and saw that Annie had posted that Ask Alice was looking for sponsors for a show they are planning. After getting more info, I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of something great. In mid December 2009, Chrissy and I had the pleasure of meeting Annie and her partner. She told us a little bit about the annual show that Ask Alice started in 2008, called Cut & Paste Rock & Roll.



I now have the great pleasure to announce that on February 5, 2010 at DiPiazza's Restaurant in Long Beach, CA Pink Kitty Radio presents CPRR! Cut & Paste Rock & Roll is a night of celebration and recognition of queer musicians, artists, DIY crafts, gay friendly business and fashion of the greater Los Angeles area.
