June 20 (Somewhere around here we broadcast our second "Hot Rods To Hell" show -- named in honor of the wonderfully cheesy 1967 made-for-TV movie of the same name. The first "Hot Rods To Hell" show took place in the summer of 1992, as Ron guested on an earlier version of Radio Rumpus Room hosted by Jean. We skipped 1993 for some reason. Probably rained out.)

APRIL 1994-APRIL 1991
Radio Rumpus Room v.1.0 runs its course. Playlists are buried somewhere in a long-misplaced three-ring binder.

A BRIEF SHOW HISTORY
Radio Rumpus Room began broadcasting in its current configuration of genres (v.2.0) in May 1994. It was at this time that Ron joined the show on a full-time basis. Jean launched a slightly different iteration (v.1.0) of Radio Rumpus Room ("dropping the needle on everything from hillbilly to hardcore") three years earlier, in April 1991. It was a somewhat punkier version of the present show; Ron was a frequent but unofficial co-host starting with the second year. Jean's previous radio experience included hosting the punkier-yet "Morpheus Strip" and "Nocturnal Emissions," both overnight shows on the KFAI schedule.
