Circus Vargas has been around for 40 years, it was just a matter of time before KOHL invaded one of their shows.  Some of the pictures turned out really cool, especially in Adamic-mation (that's choppy old fashioned gif animation).

Circus Vargas tours 11 months a year, so check their website, they're probably coming back soon.

Every year the ship of the damned pulls up and dumps a whole bunch of undead deceased pirates on the shores of Fremont and they then somehow make their way inland to the foot of the Mission Hills.  As always, KOHL was there to broadcast and document the ghostly swashbuckling.  Unfortunately, we forgot to bring a real camera and had to rely on someone's lousy camera phone.  We ended up getting terrible pictures that a 3 year old would be able to beat with their thumb over the lens, but to make it up to you, some of the embarrassingly bad pictures are presented in PIRATE VISION (bad .gif animation). Enjoy.

The world works in cycles.  In fall the leaves turn colors and come off the trees.  Winter brings the rain.  Spring the flowers.  Summer... broken air conditioning for KOHL.  Just about every year around the 4th of July the system goes crazy.  First it freezes us making it a frosty 50 degrees all day long.  Then it overcorrects and cooks us (and all the equipment that keeps us on the air).  Monday morning coming back from the 4th of July weekend 85 degrees greeted us at 6AM.  To make matters worse- on Thursday, someone tried to curry favor with the boss by leaving him cotton candy from the Alameda County Fair.  You can imagine what it looked like after 3 and a half days of baking in 85+ degrees... But hey why imagine, check out the pics.  

Epilogue: As with any sequel, KOHell2 was not as good (or bad) as the original.  KOHell2 only lasted a week as opposed to a month with the original.  We also ended up  not needing to break out the air-conditioning droids, but it was still a miserable cotton-candy-melting week.

So you want to help out the community and you've got several thousand rubber ducks... what do you do?  You dump them in to Fremont's Lake Elizabeth, have people sponsor each duck in a race, blast them with a fire hose so they actually move, and bbq a bunch of food.  KOHL was there for the The Kiwanis Club's 14th annual Tri-Cities' Ducks For Bucks charity race.  Here's  what we came across.

89.3 KOHL celebrated Matchbox 20 coming to town by holding Matchbox 20 Matchups.  Competitors from across the world fought in fierce battles for our amusement.  Full coverage of all the matchups involving Arnold Schwarzenegger, a bear driving a pile driver, Godzilla, Rosie O'Donnel, a paparazzi duck, Barry Bonds, a cardboard box, water, Spiderpig, a puppy, Clint Eastwood, a shark with lasers, a peep, Chuck Norris, and a monkey driving a pickup truck.

Every year for 16 years the Pirates of Emerson have rode the high waves of horror scarring the bejesus out of everyone.  CAPTAIN.. Adamic Sparrow and Britney Spears 2010 swung by and checked it out. 

Another year, another festival.  Here's what 89.3 KOHL was up to when Cold Hot Crash wasn't around.

89.3 KOHL decided to do something special for the 2007 Fremont Festival of the Arts, so we called up Cold Hot Crash and got them to perform acoustic in the KOHL booth.

SOMEBODY MADE UP           LIKE ME TOO 

89.3 KOHL has been out at the Fremont Festival of the Arts for a bazillion years, 2006 was no exception.

89.3 KOHL had a miserable summer in '06 when the air conditioning broke and didn't get fixed for months.  Before all was said and done KOHL had adopted several droids and the studios started looking like a Super Mario game with the tubes going all over.
