It's a Friday night and Lexi and I are curled up for an episode (or two) of Friday Night Lights. That's because after 23 hours in Phoenix, I'm a sleepy lady.

Since I'm sleepy, I'll give you the very brief version. Yesterday afternoon I flew to Phoenix to join up with the McPherson Co-op, a group of fundraisers and marketers for PBS stations across the country. I enjoyed dinner with the group, where I ate delicious chicken and learned TONS about the world of public media. As the intersection of charitable work and broadcast journalism, I found it to be super interesting.
Then this morning I spoke to the group about social media and shared a few ideas for how they could use it back at their stations. Shane, from KLRU (Austin's PBS station) spoke with me on the topic and is definitely leading the charge in terms of social PBS stations.
And after speaking but before reaching the 24 hour mark in the wild wild west, I was back on a plane and headed to Austin.
Let's honor Shane and his team here with a teaser video for a show on our local PBS station that I do believe I will have to start watching.
I am obsessed with the Day Tripper. I have a silly little girl crush on Chet and I've seen every episode. Once, I almost went to a meet and greet at Whole Earth, but thought it would be super weird to go alone. I'm glad I made this choice, as the photos posted on Facebook later showed it was mostly families with small children that went and I would have looked really crazy, which based on this rant, I might be. Let me know your thoughts after you watch, hopefully you'll love it just as much and maybe we can take a Day Tripper inspired weekend adventure soon!

I admit, I'm not a PBS watcher. But I love the Travel Channel and this seems along the same lines but places I can go sooner and cheaper. So in short, yes, I shall start watching and we shall plan a day trip.
