Mini Radio Reunion at Shamrock Club
Chris texted me a week or so back, letting me know there was a kind of Q101/Radio reunion event planned for tonight – at the Shamrock Club.
While we (Emmis Interactive) also shared the same office space, we mostly had our own area tucked in the back – away from the rest of the day to day radio station operations.
But we definitely gathered more than once at Shamrock, for both Interactive events as well as Q101 events. So it made sense to have this be the place where we all gathered.
Walking up to Shamrock, after I don’t know how long. My earliest memory of this place is from 2003 – when Ben and I pulled an all-nighter, stopped off at Shamrock to have a mid-morning drink, and got to sit in a $1,000 chair.
A lot of lovely faces, that I haven’t seen in a long, long while. L to R it’s AJ, Jane, me, Chris, and CeCe.
Spent along time catching up. And while there were other Q101 folks present, for the most part it felt like a small reunion I got to have with Chris and Jane.
A nice litmus test among friends: how does the conversation feel, after a long time away? The three of us picked up talking with such ease and humor, it felt like we had seen one another yesterday.

This would have been sooooo fun to join if not for Ben and I now being mountain lair hider-outers many hours to the south. Strangely, Ben is actually stranded in Chicago this very minute due to a frozen flight layover gone awry. He’s been in airport limbo for two days! If his travels had taken place a mere few days earlier, he might have joined through pure happenstance!
Allison (January 14, 2024 at 10:26 pm)Sad that timing didn’t work out. I got a message from Ben the evening he was here, but we were already back home (a brutal set of cold days in Chicago).
You both were mentioned, you both were missed. I look forward to the next chance we all meet again, and fully expect we’ll all pick up as though we’d seen one another yesterday.
Hope you all are staying warm!
