I just realized I've stuck this press release everywhere else except my own blog. I hope to see many of you at this special event. Read on...

Local podcaster Pat Radio is teaming up with the Tip Top Kitchen and Cocktails to host the first-ever internet happy hour, Thursday December 6 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Tip Top Kitchen and Cocktails, located at 73 E. Gay Street in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The happy hour is a benefit and awareness event for Simply Living’s broadcast voice, WCRS FM.

Pat Radio’s Pat Leonard will be the guest disc jockey at the Tip Top, and the music he will be spinning will be heard throughout the bar and around the world at www.patradio.org. There will also be cd, gift certificate and t-shirt give-aways and special drink prices.

This event will raise awareness of Simply Living , a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a compassionate and sustainable world. Simply Living is broadcasting on a low-power FM station, WCRS, at two frequencies in the Columbus area: 102.1 FM in Northeastern Franklin County and 98.3 FM near OSU campus. WCRS broadcasts news and current-affairs programs from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays. They plan to expand their programming schedule and include music programming in the near future. Representatives from the Simply Living will be on-hand at the Tip Top to answer questions about Simply Living and WCRS and to accept donations.

The Tip Top Kitchen and Cocktails, open since May, features Ohio comfort food, drink specialties, draught microbrews, and pies.

Pat Radio has been on the internet airwaves since 2005. Pat’s weekly local music podcast attracts hundreds of listeners from central Ohio and around the world.
