Welcome to the Grand Re-Opening!

I am your host, Kelly, and I want to welcome you back to the NEW Cosmo Happy Hour. Prior to the new name, we were Cosmo Radio Recap. After a hiatus, I've come back with new vigor to create a place where our Fake Life Fam can go before, during and after our favorite shows on SiriusXM 109 - Cosmo Radio.

For those of you who are new to this site, or are unfamiliar with me... I'll introduce myself. I have been listening to Cosmo Radio for 5-6 years, slightly less than the channel has been around. I started the Cosmo Radio Recap a couple years ago (I think?) when I realized that there are a lot of listeners that are only able to listen to the shows during their commute. They ended up missing a lot of the goodness during the rest of the shows.

I quickly got to know a lot of other regular listeners, back when our "fake life family" was just in its infancy. I've been through the "afternoon head bangers club" with many of you, which was the Twitter group that would talk ish during Cosmolicious because of poor grammar, boring topics and severe misuse of common sayings. Eventually victory was ours, and Diana Falzone was no more! She really didn't represent Fun, Fearless Females very well... we are all MUCH smarter than that.

It got to the point where I needed a way to stream the shows while I was working, so I talked my husband into letting me get an iPhone. To this day, that is the only place where I get my Cosmo Radio fix. I love streaming through my phone. But I can never change my plan... I got in while AT&T had an unlimited plan for data! I think I use 7-8 GB per month!

Over time, my recaps became less and less and I just got too busy with my full time job to keep up. Some Twitter/Cosmo Radio friends helped contribute to the recap, but that also became more than each of us could do with full time work.

Along came Michelle, who has had all of the Cosmo Radio Recap accounts in her possession for several months. Recently I requested to get the accounts back from her because I had a little more time and I had new ideas for the site. Fortunately, it was perfect timing because she is now too busy at work.

And here we are... Back at it - in a whole new way... motivated by CosmoCon to reconnect with all of my old friends and make new ones, my love for the station and its shows, and also my love of blogging and keeping up with all of you.

I welcome anyone's posts... just send your note to me at cosmoradiorecap@gmail.com! Whether you want to recap a day's shows, write about your CosmoCon experience, write about your friendship with other FFFers, talk about something that inspired you, share your fashion/pop culture/etc information, or whatever... Send it to me!! While the site is still under construction, I plan to have a page that is only posts from YOU!

Be sure to follow me on Twitter @cosmohappyhour.

At some point www.cosmohappyhour.com will get you here, but I'm having trouble with it right now. You can get here with www.cosmoradiorecap.com or www.cosmoradio.blogspot.com for now.

I am going to try to make this site as interactive as possible, but I also hope to see ya'll on Twitter and Facebook! (Facebook is my next thing to get back up and running. I need more "Likes" so I can get a nice URL --- stop by and Like CHH!: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cosmo-Happy-Hour/116155455160612

Love you all and so glad to be back!!
