watch: hot summer fiasco recap!

I know, it's been a week and I'm just now getting to share this... forgive a girl who wanted to celebrate her birthday and take care of 324987 other things?! Kthanks.

You've hopefully seen my Carly Rae Jepsen and Cher Lloyd interviews, and the sweet intro video I spent way too long making, but now it's time to see the end result of all the hard work we put into the show!

For me, I thought the performances were obviously fun, but I loved the whole experience people got when they came. We made ourselves very available and mingled with everyone all day, we gave out free t-shirts, hooked people up with meet and greets, and just had an overall great time! [Forgive the quality on some of the shots.]

Seriously, being able to hang with so many listeners is awesome. The face they make when they realize we're actually real people who WILL talk to them and WILL go out of our way to take pictures and make sure they're having a good time... it's priceless.

Considering it was our first major show like this as a station, I'd say it went pretty damn well. I mean, we did the HOT Mess Fest, but this was on a much bigger scale.... and hopefully it'll only get bigger in the future!

watch exclusive interview: eight questions with carly rae jepsen*

*I think it was actually only 7, but whatever. Shoot me. 

The second interview I got to do at the HOT Summer Fiasco was none other than Miss Summer of 2012... Miss Call Me Maybe... Miss Carly Rae Jepsen! [I totally shoulda intro'd her in the video like that, huh?!]

Originally I was supposed to go to her hotel room and sit down with her there, but things got way too hectic, so I bombarded her dressing room instead. There wasn't anything fancy or elaborate in there like purple velvet curtains or 23 cases of Voss water, so I felt pretty comfortable beyond being totally flustered by the entire day's events.

Her accent is adorable, she's adorable, chill, and exactly how I expected her to be for the most part. Check out our quick little chat and please don't let the blur bother you. Sometimes it's hard for people to tell if it's out of focus while filming. :(


I wish I could talk to her more so that I'd pick up her accent. It's kinda subtle, but I really do enjoy her voice.

I also enjoyed this being posted on her instagram a little later [even though it says I'm Kendall... oh well!].

Her performance was also pretty adorable, but I'll have proof of that coming up when I do the whole recap video/post!

Another one of those moments where I feel so lucky to have the job I do is now in the books....

love,
elizabethany
