The adventure never ends around here! Joe Terry, my co-host on The South Bay Show, is on vacation this week…. and well, you know me, I agreed to try my first solo hosting gig. It was challenging (scary), nerve-wracking (scary) and fun (scary). Fortunately, I had a fabulous guest to get me through it. Nick Arquette and I spent the hour discussing the 7th Annual White Light White Night fundraising gala taking place this Saturday. Thank you, Nick - I’ll see you Saturday! Don’t worry, if you missed the program you can listen to it here: http://southbaybyjackie.com/july-25-2013-nick-arquette-white-light-white-night/.
Have a fabulous South Bay weekend!
