EVENT-VIEWZ. During the hoopla of the National Urban League Conference, I squeezed in this event to go to East St. Louis and attend the live broadcast of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. I was going to attend thsi event, then rush over to the America's center to get to the Presidential forum that was going to be goign on about 8 am. I'm not a fan of his show, but I was curious to check out how they operate as a radio show. they were goign to be in town to raise money for the Go Army organization.
I had my time clock set at 2:30 in the morning to prepare to go to this event (They broadcast at 5 am our time--6 am Eastern their time) I got there about 3 oclock and sat in my car. I was waiting to see this long line of peopel that I just assumed were gonna be there (ala the Tom Joyner Skyskow). NOT! It was three cars along with mine . This wasnt a god sign. Anyway, when I saw a van of stage assistant park up, i thought thsi woudl be the time to go in as well. Securityadn police were beginning to walk around casing the area before the Steve Harvey crew came through (The Beat crew wasnt even there yet!)
It was around 3;30 and the stage/tech hands and the Beat crew were pouring in the gym to set up. (I would have thought they would have had all this taken care of the night before, but, hey....) I got me a seat in teh front as they waited for the festivties to begin as I started reading the program booklet to the National urban league Conference.
The crew finished setting up literally a 15 minutes before the Steve Harvey show was about to go on air and I was wondering if the crowd was going to show up. Meanwhile, the radio feed was blaring from the speakers (It was New York staion WBLS). Around 4;45, people started coming in, not in droves, but a steady flow of people (Overall it was about 100 or so who showed up) One of the first clear Channel personalities who showed up was BT Express who first showed up in his street team clothes then chamged into a tan suit (His pants legs needed hemming BTW. LOL) other Clear Channel personalities who arrived therr were Isis Jones, Hypeman Dwight STone (who took a pic of me and others in the crowd), Kiki the 1st lady and Craig Blac. It was 5 on the dot and the Steve harvey crew (Harvey, Shirley Strawberry and nephew Tommy) walked under the canopy and sat at a booth to do the radio show. The crowd gave them a welcoming applause.
He started the show giving a gospel tinged testimony of how blessed he is, how people should have a tenacity to do what they were put on this earth to do and that God is in the blessing business which was uplifting.
Then the show pretty much went flat after that. Harvey tried his best to be funny, but I think he was still suffering from jet lag (He and the crew flew in that day to get to the Center).
"I forgot we were on central standard time," Harvey said. "Whyis y;all here. If you can make it here, you cna make it anywhere. I can feel the hood in the dark."
Then the rest of the show, he was confusing East St. Louis with St. Louis. Not good.

The highlights include visits from Michelle Jones, the first ever woman to be a non-commissioned officer in the Army who just retired from the Army serving 25 years (Her low Grace jonesish voice was turning Steve on making him forget he just got married), a visit from Olympic camp Jackie Joyner Kersee(Steve teased that she still looked the same all fit and everything), and later on comedienne Kym Whiltley (I didnt hear her cause I had to leave to go to the Presidential forum).

Other highlights include: A woman from the audience asking Tommy how big his hands are and she walked up to touch them (before she did he asked was she over 21). Then he asked her, 'you wanna touch my feet, too?"
The Army Step team turned it out even impressing Steve, who is a Q-dog and said tehy wer eteh "best step team he has ever seen."
Steve asked where was the best place to get BBQ and the crowd yelled out "the Red Door." He also got a kick out of the biz Custom Rimz banner where you can rent rims.
A balloon burst in the hallway causing a gunshot like sound causing the crew to duck. Steve then quipped, "I wasnt gonna move cause the crowd didnt move,I guess yawl used to noises like that."
They also did their Patsor Motown and Deacon Def Jam bit, Strawberry Letter 23 and read emails on the air.


I stayed till about 7ish, aftewrad I greeted the local personalities, bought me a bagel and OJ and stepped.

I'm thankful that steve harvey gave the members of the army elite step team an opportunity to come onto his show. I met them before in Atlanta and they were so down to earth and about enriching the young youth. Half of the members of that team are school teachers.

White biotechnology is for the business field and the marine biotechnology for all sea life.
Maybe it is arrogant to want to become a hero, but I find it a noble aspiration.

This film has many familiar faces such as John Lithgow, Brian Cox and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films) but again we are shown just how advanced CGI is now -especially when combined with the
acting talents of Andy Serkis- and it's easy to forget that Caesar isn't real.

With the New Year quickly approaching, many people are setting their sights
towards total physical fitness. Naturally, if you are not a morning person, setting your
alarm for 5am to go run a few miles will probably fail. Take
note also that you know how to perform the exercise well to avoid sickness
and injuries in the future.

Along with the stories about celebrities and other things, you will find
many different stories about regular people and people who
have made the news for many different reasons. Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan had a rough battle,
when the movies related to them were released at the same time.
The singer will not be charged for her public intoxication, but her
boyfriend was charged a $30,000 bail fee to release himself after he was tested positive for driving under the influence.

Iím amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a
blog thatís both equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.

I am very happy that I found this during my search for
something concerning this.
