Energy 92-7 & 5 / Chicago, IL (2001-03)

3 days after I returned to Energy 92-7 & 5, I got to make the first announcement of “Energy Blast 2001!” This was a HUGE deal for us, as we had never put together a concert of this massive size before. We brought (in no particular order) Ultra Nate, Rockell, Sarina Paris, New Life Crisis, Chili Hi Fly, TKA, Becca, Underdog Project, Ali Damisi, Pepper Mashay, and Thunderpuss to The Odeum in Villa Park. Here are some photos from that awesome night, 8/25/2001!

It may have been short-lived, but the “Energy Wake-Up Service” DID have it’s fair share of guests stop by the studio. From musical artists to TV stars to local celebrities, we made some friends! Here’s just a sample of some of those guests.

Comedienne Judy Tenuta

Lane Tech High Cheerleaders

Knowing my musical taste, these random people dressed up as a fake 80’s band to get on the show. It worked! Nice face, Jeffro.

When we started the “Energy Wake-Up Service,” we needed some pictures of the three of us interacting. So, one day after the show, we got a bit giddy with the camera. These pics were taken at the station by Kid Stone. (Though, I think he was just Harmeyer at that point. Or was it Deacon Kane?)

What gentlemen we were…

What a gentleman SHE was!

Oops! Running late for Harry Legg…AGAIN!

Another ODD bathroom habit.

Well, choke my chicken!

Yeah, we knew who was in charge.

See no evil, yadda yadda…

It’s not easy bein’ Jeffro.

Friends Forever!

Some of these pics are from the “Energy Wake-Up Service” days. Some are from “The Jeffro Show” at night. You’ll figure it out!

This was the first pic I took with my very first digital cam! Hey, nobody else was around…

This was the second pic. From “Jeffro’s point of view.”

This dude was my opening act…and is SO much better than me. Hello, Joey V!

Well, this is about it for Energy pictures. Pretty much the entire staff showed up on this cold Sunday night to shut the station down the right way…PARTYING! There are a number of pics from “The Last Dance” floating around the net. These are the ones *I* took on 1/5/2003.
