Bake Sales & Radio

Hello hello! I'm finally climbing out of my kitchen; last night I spent an unreasonably long time making sure that the cupcakes for our class's bake sale were perfect. I made Devil's Food with raspberry filling, and decorated with a drizzle of chocolate and a fresh raspberry on top of each one.

Of course, now it's pouring outside, so who knows how many people will be in the mood to buy? *sigh*

On the other hand, I've really been cracking into planning out a brief radio segment. Marc Steiner of WEAA is allowing our classes time to discuss the issues of place and deindustrialization in the BayBrook and Sparrows Point areas. The planning sessions are grueling, but we're excited at this chance to spread the story.

Right now, our biggest project involves combing through transcripts of recordings from Prof. King's current and previous classes, finding soundbytes from people in the BayBrook area. Hopefully we can come up with some way to coherently cut them together with the fantastic Sparrows Point recordings from Dr. Stefano's students.

Update: The bake sale raised over $150--mostly from people pieing poor Cody in the face! He took on a lot of cream pies for the cause.
