Tonight was the official Launch Party of the new FOX 5 Channel in San Diego (formerly the CW) at the wonderful San Diego Hall of Champions in amazing Balboa Park and man was it a blast. In years prior when there was a Fall preview or other such event, it was either at the station or at the Wave House in OB. Great times were had to be sure, but this venue was definitely a departure in the right direction. Right off the bat the ambience was great and the music provided by Massey Productions was makin' people shake their thing a little.
Saw some familiar faces and some new faces from the station. The people who work behind the scenes who make the machine run smooth. I don't get to see you guys enough because when I do I have a great time. After catching up with Will Givens and Sandi Banister, the guests began to make their way in to the venue, and what better way to make an entrance than with the San Diego Charger Girls! Lets just say that this was not one of the more difficult parts of my job. The Charger Girls were all very personable and we had a laugh or two! They even stuck around and performed a short dance routine to kick off the night right!
After a brief video and a few short words from Scott Heath, Ray Schonbock, and Ed Wilson some of the on air talent began to trickle in. First to make it in was Arthel Neville looking fabulous. Girl, I don't know what kinda voodoo you are doin' but you look great as always. Glad to have you in San Diego, alongside Chrissy Russo who does the weather in the mornings.
Kyle Hunter, gotta tell you bro, your hair looks great in HD. For those of you who don't know Kyle, click this link to get a look of him early in his career when his hair wasn't as awesome as it is now. P.S. Kyle, how hard is the weather in San Diego? "Right now its 77 degrees, and lets check out forecast for the next YEAR. Oh look, mostly sunny with a high of 77 degrees." Hope you like it in San Diego and keep up the great weather!
I KNOW you like the weather better here than in Atlanta. Although it looked like you were pretty thirsty tonight at the party, if you know what I mean... Ahem. Your secret is safe with me bro....FOR A PRICE! Just kidding, you can have the photos for your Myspace and Facebook.
Ah, Kathleen Bade.
You could tell the kids were at home because she was ready for Dancing with the Stars with those dance moves! By the way, I am curious, does it suck to be so attractive that you are the envy of all the other news channels in San Diego or do you just love it? It was great to see you and I am glad to see you back on the air.
Thank you FOX 5 for inviting me to photograph your event. Everyone at the station is so cool that I could never come up with enough adjectives to compliment you guys!
