WZBC 30th Anniversary

It's almost a shameless self-promotion, but Clea Simon wrote about it in 
today's Globe so I guess it's okay :-)

BC station marks more than 30 years of independence
By Clea Simon, Globe Correspondent, 9/12/2003

This month, Boston College's student-run station, WZBC-FM (90.3), has 
decided to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The planned festivities -- a 
multiple-club party on Sept. 20 that will bring several bands to the Middle 
East and T.T. the Bear's in Cambridge -- showcase the station's devotion to 
independent rock. But neither this party nor the students who currently man 
the boards for shows like ''No Commercial Potential'' reveal the whole story.

BTW - one thing Clea doesn't mention, because we're just making it public 
now, is that we'll be broadcasting the show from the Middle East Downstairs 
live as it happens that night.  Clea also doesn't mention the "NCP show" on 
Sept.19th.   Details about this stuff & band lists are (and more will 
appear) at www.zbconline.com

This isn't a benefit, btw...ticket sales are pretty much going to cover 
costs of live broadcast, bands, and venue rental...no "profit" or anything.

I was at the WJUL "Raising Awareness Benefit" show on-campus at Fox Hall 
last night.  The bands were pretty good but I didn't hear anything in the 
way of actually raising awareness about the Lowell Sun deal.   I couldn't 
stay past 9pm, though...maybe they talked about it later.
