the djbc happy hour

Tonight on the show, some ghoulish Halloween music, plus a sneak peek at Highball Halloween, October 26 & 27 in the Short North.

Tonight on the show, it's time to let all of the air back after DJBC's early autumnal break. SCOTUS, The State of Radio, and Why Voting in Next Month's Election Is Super-Important; Plus happenings around town this week. And a message from Christopher Columbus himself.

October 9, 2018 is the LAST DAY to register to Vote for the November 6 General Election! DO NOT BE SILENT! VOTE! Your Vote Is Your Voice (which I say in many languages in this show)

And if there is anything else that was unfiltered, I had to do this show under heavy time constraints and had to record the whole show in the MAIN studio, when it was unavailable.

And, yes, this is Show # 270. Where is your favorite place to hang out along the Outerbelt?

1993...Jurassic Park, The FBI Siege of the Branch Davidian Cult, The Greater Columbus Convention Center is open for Business, The Lady B*ckeyes Fall Short in the NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship, Chris Webber Calls Time Out, The Clinton White House, Last Call for Cheers, Tom Hanks gets Sleepless in Seattle and battles both AIDS and the courts in Philadelphia, Player's Theatre abruptly folds with lots of unanswered questions, and Lucasville Prison is Under Siege. Those were some of the happenings in 1993 in our world, both here at home, and across the vast land we call Earth.

CENTRAL OHIO HEADLINES:
- The Greater Columbus Convention Center, designed by Peter Eisenman, opens its doors in March.
- Players Theatre abruptly folds in September, due to financial issues.

- The Ohio State Football B*ckeyes share the Big Ten title with Wisconsin after a 14-14 tie in Madison in November; B*ckeyes get embarrassed in Ann Arbor two weeks later, 28-0. Wisconsin earns the Rose Bowl bid, having not gone since the 1963 Rose Bowl.

NATIONAL/WORLD HEADLINES:
- Bill Clinton takes office as the 42nd President of the United States.
- Federal Agents seige the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas in the Spring of 1993. After a seven-week standoff, Cult leader David Koresh and 80 of his followers are found dead.
