Exciting times ahead. Soon, I’ll be firing up the red Challenger for a scenic drive to Austin to make my debut as a host at the annual, week-long Big Kev Roots, Rock, & Revolution radiothon, recorded live before a live audience for broadcast on the East Coast. My portion is called “Glenna Bell’s Stories Straight from Texas Showcase,” and I want to fill the place up, so please go ahead and schedule it in on your SXSW calendar, tell everyone you know, AND feel free to forward and/or post this information: Thursday, March 13 from 1-5 pm in Austin!
