 On
Saturday, 26 March, members of the Ottawa Frontrunners were invited to be
special audience members on the CBC Radio 1 national program "GO".
GO is a light-hearted live comedy program hosted by Brent Bambury. Producers
provided a script to work us into the Easter show, essentially using us to
set up an audience Jesus Christ Superstar sing-along. We were able to use
the opportunity to advertise our group nationally, and played along with the
gags of the show. We've already had one new member join as a result of this,
and have had inquiries from people around the country. Michael, Eric, and
his partner Kevin spoke on the air with Brent a couple times during the show,
discussing roving packs of gays in lycra and, of course, our universal fondness
for musicals. This opportunity arose thanks to Lisa who organized a small
group to attend GO the week before and used that springboard to catch the
producer's eye. Ottawa Frontrunners is now famous!
