DATELINE: New York
The plan was now complete.
In April of my junior year, I was named general manager of the radio station. When I applied for the position, I did so with one goal. I needed to figure out a way to get a trip to the CMJ conference. This task proved to be easier than I expected, so I grabbed 4 staff members and made my first trip to New York City. We checked into our stereotypically cramped and run-down hotel room at 55th and 7th, stepping inside the front door while a a police officer yelled at people outside in a stereotypical Brooklyn accent. New York City was just like the movies! But we weren't here to gawk. We had business to handle, and a long day ahead.
