Season Zero – Episode Three
Sandman: The Rappin’ Cowboy
& David Ury

Filmed on September 23rd, 2015 at Obsidian in Olympia.
Released in June of 2016.

For this episode Andras Jones rejoins the show as host, bringing to an end the brief Andy Shmushkin experiment. It was fun while it lasted.

Chris Sand aka Sandman: The Rappin’ Cowboy returns to Radio8Ball backed by The Radio8Band featuring Scott Taylor and Skyler Blake (The Hard Way) and Chad Austinson (Chelan).

Our celebrity guest is Olympia’s own David Ury. David may not be as famous as some of our previous celebrities but you’ll probably recognize him if you watch movies and TV. That’s part of what makes a great character actor. They’re sneaky that way.

If you are following our evolution in Season Zero you may notice that we have expanded and deepened our focus to include the experiences of our guests and host in the wake of the event.

It’s a bumpy ride to say the least.

We couldn’t have done it without our sponsors Little General Food Shop, Last Word Books & Press, Oly Bungalows, Salon Refu, Hot Toddy, Druid’s Knook, Gravity Beer Market, Three Magnets Brewing Co., Olyphant Art & Media, Washington Center For The Performing Arts, Harlequin Productions, Capitol Florist, West Central Park Project, Olympia Federal Savings, Pizza Rocks, Symbiotic Cycles, Wisp Adornments, Fertile Ground Guesthouse, The Brotherhood Tavern & Sync Book Press.

Radio8Ball with Sandman & David Ury at Obsidian a huge success!

On September 23rd we filmed the most recent Radio8Ball Show featuring the music of Chris Sand aka Sandman: The Rappin’ Cowboy, with support from The Radio8Band (Scott Taylor, Skyler Blake & Chad Austinson). The show also featured a sync film by Will Morgan about our celebrity guest, actor David Ury and 6 great questions from our audience.

For this event each audience member represented a local sponsor. The sponsors whose representatives who were chosen were Symbiotic Cycles, Olyphant Art Supply, Last Word Books and Salon Refu. In a sense you could say that they won Radio8Ball. These businesses will be heavily featured in the final edit of the show.

We owe a huge debt of thanks to all of our participating sponsors, not just the lucky winners. Without these local supporters of art and synchronicity this show would never have happened. Thank you Little General Store, Oly Bungalows, Hot Toddy, Druid’s Knook, Gravity Beer Market, Three Magnets Brewing Co., The Washington Center For The Performing Arts, Harlequin Productions, Capitol Florists, The West Central Park Project, Olympia Federal Savings, Pizza Rocks, Symbiotic Cycles, Fertile Ground Guesthouse, Wisp Adornments, Sylvie Sovina & The Brotherhood Tavern.
