When you hear Erin on the radio, you know it's time to wake up! Dog lover, former MSU Marching Band flag girl, snowboarder, big Ultimate Fighting & hockey fan...all describe Erin. She calls Four Corners home, but you have a better chance of finding her at Moonlight, Big Sky or Bridger on her newest snowboard. She considers it a privilige to start the day with you, and delivers everything you need to know to get another Southwest Montana day going. E-mail Erin here.
Thanks so much for wakin' up to My 103.5. Grab a cup of joe, and let's get this day rollin'! - Erin.
Erin's Daily Blog
Tuesday - Today is Bogert Farmers Market Day! We spoke with Racheal and Leanne from ROC Wheels today. They are raising funds to send wheelchairs to third world countries!

ALSO...find us at the Farmers Market to win tickets to the MSU Bobcat Football Game this weekend! AND ONE MORE THING...today's the last day to enter the Back To School Showcase so get your raffle entries right away in the MY VIP Club!
Monday - Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend! I got to experience the new zip line tour from Montana Whitewater this weekend, and it ROCKED! I would suggest this trip to anyone! There are three "zips", and these things are no joke! You start off by climbing up this bridge literally to the top of a tree! Then after a minute of them hooking you all up, they say JUMP! Yikes! My knees were shaking, but I did it! Ross also got to enjoy throwing me off one of them (yes, completely hooked up!), but I think he may have enjoyed it just a little too much! We didn't get a $1000 winner last week so let's try it again! Stop by a participating Budweiser retailer this week and get the MY BONUS CODE for your chance at the cash! Have a great day!
Thursday - Good Morning! Today we were talking about the fact that texting has overcome emails and phone calls as the number one form of communication! My friends give me a hard time all the time about not checking my voicemails because I am a texting freak. WELL...it turns out the average voicemail sits unheard for 3 days!! See, I'm not the only one! Tonights the last Music on Main featuring Cure for the Common, the Chamberlin Productions battle of the bands winner from last year. It's going to be a killer night of music and fun in downtown Bozeman! Hope to see you there!
Tuesay - Happy Farmers Market! Hope to see you tonight at Bogert Park from 5 - 8pm. Arts, Prouduce, Live Music, Great Food and tons more! We will have giveaways so come search for us! Looks like it's going to be hot out there today, the high is 85! Happy Tuesday!
Monday - Hope that you had a great weekend! I spent my Friday night in Livingston and Saturday at Rockin the Rivers! Yet again another wonderful weekend! I drew the name of Stephanie Johnson this mornig but she did not enter the bonus code so we did not have a winner of the $1000 brought to you by the Sports Cove. This week brings another shot! Just stop by Wendy's in front of Lowe's or on Main Street and get the MY Bonus Code...you will earn 10,000 points and just possibly $1000 cash! GET THE CODE! Have a good day!
Friday - BURR...what happened to summer. My guess is there will be snow on the mountain peaks when the cloudy clear! Who knows, but it sure looks like this Friday the 13th is going to be a rainy one! Tony Furtado played a killer show last night at Music on Main. Next Thursday is the last week, so make sure to come down! I am hopefully headed to the races tonight and Collective Soul tomorrow night, but a little concerned about the weather! Could be movie weekend at Case De Phillips that's for sure! Hope you have a great weekend!
Thursday - YIKES, I've had some technical issues this week so no blogging! Tonight is Music on Main here in downtown Bozeman. Tonight is a real treat with the music of Tony Furtado. Let me tell you, if you have been waiting for the perfect night of music, tonight would be it. Tony is a killer guitar player and definately worth checking out! We've given away a ton of tickets this week...congrats to all the winners! Have a great day!
Monday - Ticket frenzy begins today! This week we will have your chance to head to Hinder and Finger 11 this weekend in Billings, AND we'll have more chances for you to head to Rockin the Rivers! Hope you head a great weekend! We cancelled the camping trip because the weather just wasn't looking good to be in the backcountry. We ended up going to over to Chico on Friday to watch The Max play, they are a super fun cover band and did not disapoint! Saturday night was the 1st Birthday Party for one of my very best friend's daughters. The weather was wonderful and let's just say she loved cake! Hope you had a good weekend, Happy Monday!
Friday - WOOHOO FRIDAY! I don't know about you but I am ready for the weekend! I am headed hiking and camping at Lava Lake. I am super excited, I have never done anything like this and I am nervous! Wonder how I will do carrying a pack...my guess is bad..I will let you know! Saturday night I get to go to the 1st Birthday Party for Dylon, one of my very best friends' daughter. Looking forward to a wonderful weekend!
Thursday, August 5th - Bite of Bozeman rocked! My favorite had to be the dessert skewers from Sweet Pea Bakery. It was chocolate covered strawberry's and patries on a stick...BRILLIANT! Tonight is Music on Main. Kids activities start at 6:30 and the tunes start at 7. Gotta love Sweet Pea Week in Bozeman! Today we had another chance to get qualified for tickets to Collective Soul at Rockin the Rivers. Jeremy had enough guts to call up and sing Every Rose Has It's Thorn...it was awesome! Congrats Jeremy and good luck with winning the tickets! Happy Thursday!
Wednesday, August 4th - Today is one of my favorite days all year long..the Bite of Bozeman! I have the menu and have checked it all out since I am a picky eater! My night will include teryaki chicken skewers, a turkey leg (you gotta!) and dessert from the chocolate factory....at least that's the plan! Hope to see you there, here's the link to the map and menu! http://www.sweetpeafestival.org/media/bite_map.pdf We got Tony registered for tickets to Collective Soul next weekend. We will find out our winner on Monday morning! Have a great day!
Tuesday, August 3rd - I am proud to say that yesterday was the very first day of training for my 5k that I didn't want to absolutely die. That in and of itself is an accomplishment in my eyes! Who cares that I can't walk today, for 20 beautiful minutes (ok, maybe only about 5 of them) I actually thought to myself that maybe deciding to do this was a good idea. I won't repeat the comments going thru my head about how I felt this morning. Today is the Bogert Farmers Market. Tonight it the Art in the Park night where they are installing a peace pole that was done by local artists. Lisa, one of the people beind the project, will be there and you can "meet the artist". It's all tonight afrom 5 -8pm at Bogert Park. Have a great day!
Monday, August 2nd - Really August? Wow. Well I lived through my weekend in Great Falls meeting Ross's family. I was absolutely shocked at how much they resembled my own family! I was impressed with Great Falls as a whole and really had a ton of fun! We went to their waterpark, hung out at the Montana State Fair, and danced the night away at a wonderful bar overlooking the city lights (complimentary limo ride home included!)!!! It was all capped off my a swim in the river along the highway on the way home, who could ask for more! What a great weekend! Happy Monday!
Friday, July 30th - HAPPY FRIDAY! Today we are talking about dating. The question is...Would you stop seeing someone if your family/friends disapproved of them? Let us know what you think, leave your thoughts on our facebook group. This question comes up because I am headed to Great Falls this weekend to meet Ross's family. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Wish me luck! Have a great weekend!
Thursday, July 29th - Water, water everywhere! YIKES! Yesterday was a very interesting day at Casa De Phillips. I woke up to water in my basement, and let me tell you at 4am it's difficult to keep a good attitude when something like this happens. I did what I could before work, and went home right after to make sure things were cleaned up. Long story short...at the end of the day I learned something. I now know more about my house's water system than I ever thought that I would. There are good things that come with every situation.
Wednesday, July 28th - Susan from the Children's Museum was in the studio today. There is one more summer camp you can take advantage of, and that's it for the summer! I went and saw the movie Grownup's last night. It's with Kevin James, Adam Sandler, David Spade...lots of funny guys. It was a perfectly light hearted movie...it was great! Today I am tackling my water issues at the house, wish me luck!
Tuesday, July 27th - HAPPY TUESDAY! I gotta tell you, my house is falling apart lately! First I was having water pressure issues, now a can't get my dryer to get hot. YIKES! Don't forget about the Farmers Market tonight at Bogert Park! It's a great way to spend an evening! ALSO..don't forget your chance to win $1000 from Budweiser this week. Stop by a participating Bud retailer...get the MY bonus code...enter it in and earn 10000...and it may win you $1000 cash! Good luck and have a great day!
Monday, July 26th - Alright...I am officially signed up. I am running the 5k for the Drop and Trot event to benefit Haven! I need your help! Please donate to my cause by CLICKING HERE! Today I went for my first mile run and I honestly thought I may die. Now I am not completly unfit...but I am not a runner. I never have been and I never will be! BUT, that doesn't matter. I am commited to this great cause and will not give up. WOW. I may need a new running outfit to make this a little less painful! ANYHOO...happy Monday!
Friday, July 23rd - TGIF! So so so stoked that it's Friday! Ross and I went and hit a bucket of balls on the Driving range at the golf course yesterday. About half way thru this guy (I called him Mr. Cranky) came to the little box next to me. I tried my best, but this guy ruined the rest of the time I was there. He was cussing and swearing at himself every shot. Got me thinking...not only is this type of attitude completely detrimental to your own health, it also makes those around you very uncomfortable and uneasy. The next time you are in one of these moods, and we all have them, take just a minute to look around and see how it's affecting those around you. My guess is it is more than you think. ANYHOO..have a great Friday!! See you at the fair!
Thursday, July 22nd - Hope your day is off to a good start! We went to the Bozeman Bull Bash last night at the Gallatin County Fair and then stopped in at Mixers for a drink. Ross's band, Electric Ranch, plays there this Saturday night if you want to come out for a great time! I can't wait, I love these guys live and it's always tons of fun. We're back at the fair today, come by and see us!
Wednesday, July 21st - HAPPY GALLATIN COUNTY FAIR! We'll be there today broadcasting live from 12 - 2 with tons of giveaways, so stop by and see us! We are in building 4 (right by the FOOD, YUM YUM!!!) , you can't miss us. Tonight is the Bozeman Bull Bash, this has the areas toughest cowboys taking on massive bulls, and will cost you an extra $10 to get in. See you there!!
Tuesday, July 20th - MY 103.5 is proud to announce our official partnership with HAVEN! This incredible organization helps those in domestic violence situations, and is absolutely necessary in the world we live in. I am so excited to help out this wonderful group and looking forward to getting to know these wonderful ladies! Take a minute to check out their website at www.havenmt.org. Have a good Tuesday!
Monday, July 19th - Holy Targhee Fest. One name...GRACE POTTER. If you haven't heard her, look it up...NOW. She is really fantastic and absolutely stole the weekend at Targhee Fest. Ross and I drove over and camped for the weekend. We got there Friday night in time to see MOE..they were great as well! The weather was awesome and I always love the Jackson Hole/Driggs area. This week is FAIR WEEK! We will be there broadcasting live starting Wednesday so stop by and see us!!!!
Friday, July 16th - HAPPY FRIDAY! We had TONS of fun yesterday White Water Rafting on the Yellowstone! The weather was absolutely perfect and I would suggest the trip to anyone! Hope you have a fun weekend planned! It's gonna be hot, we are going to see temps in the mid 80's or low 90's! I am headed to Targhee Fest this weekend outside of Jackson Hole. I have never been and I am super excited about the adventure! Have a great weekend!
Thursday, July 15th - Well last night I got to go to the opening of Baja Fresh/Canyon Burger Company. I can honestly say...this will be your new favorite place to eat! Ross and I ate everything from tacos to burgers and fries to quesadilla's to churo's. It was wonderful! Check them out next to REI. Today the GAPWEST crew is headed white water rafting on the Yellowstone. I will do my best to stay in the boat and I guarantee I will have stories about the trip for you tomorrow! Gonna be hot out there today...looking for a high of 85! Have a great day!
Wednesday, July 14th - We did impossible trivia today! 22% of adults do this on a hot summer day....answer is EAT POPSICLES! Congratulations to Ashley & Shana for winning ride tickets to this week's carnival at the Gallatin Valley Mall! Looks like it's going to be a little cooler today, with hot temps moving in later this week. Remember weather anytime you want it is online for you at my1035.com!
Tuesday, July 13th - Well, my best friend Kristen and I ended up floating the Madison yesterday. Holy wind. It was literally blowing us right to the side when the gusts would come up. YIKES!!! Today is Tuesday..which means it is farmers market day at Bogert Park! It's every Tuesday night from 5pm - 8pm, and is a really good place to spend the evening in SW Montana. The weather will be beautiful! Get out there and enjoy it! Have a great Tuesday!
Monday, July 12th - Hope that you had a fun weekend! Mine was jam packed, which is very normal for me in the summertime! Friday I headed up to Hyalite camping. We found a spot near Palisade Falls. It was fun to get up there, relax, and spend some time with Ross and the doggies. Saturday my friend Jess got married. It was at a gorgeous new wedding venue in town called the "Le Petit Chalet". It's on Cobb Hill near Four Corners and I would tell anyone looking for a venue to check it out. It was great. And even though she got rained on during her vows, Jess looked so beautiful! Congrats to Jess and Bubba. I wish you all the best in your life together! Today's weather is calling for a high in the mid 80's. I am thinking it may be a good day to head to the Madison...Hmmm?
Friday, July 9th - Happy Friday! Last night was Music on Main in downtown Bozeman. The band was called 7 Smart Fellers and I thought they were pretty fun! It was another one of those beautiful nights in SW Montana that you just want to last forever. I am headed camping tonight and then have a friends wedding tomorrow. Looks like it's going to be another great weekend! If you are looking for something to do...the Downtown Bozeman Art Walk is tonight and the Montana Folk Festival is happening in Butte this weekend. Get out there and enjoy the summer while it's here! Have a great one!
Thursday, July 8th - WOW...I have been horrible about blogging lately! Got a "reminder" email from mom yesterday, she says this is the only way she can keep track of me. LOVE YOU MOM! The last few weeks have been super busy. I filled in for our Sister Station XL Country at the Headwaters Country Jam. The event was a huge success even though the weather was a little difficult! Eric Church and the Charlie Daniels Band defenitely stole the show! Congrats to Liberty, Shannon, Bill and the rest of the HJC crew for pulling off another huge year.
Hope you had a great Fourth of July. I spent mine in Livingston at the Roundup and had a ton of fun. A bunch of friends and I camped at a place called Mallards Rest in Paradise Valley. This place is beautiful and right on the water. Saturday night we went to the Rodeo, and it was tons of fun! They have a huge fireworks show after too! Sunday Ross and I headed over to Chico Hot Springs. This is one of my favorite places on the planet. We soaked, had a great dinner and listened to a fun blues band in the bar from New Orleans. I HEART CHICO!
Yesterday, we had our very first MY 103.5 Morning Show Blood Drive. I was pretty nervous about getting people in...but we made our goal set by the American Red Cross! Thanks so much for your help!
Today, we had in the studio Mary Claire...she is a youth intern for the Children's Museum here in Bozeman. She is doing a really cool project on public transportation and the environment. She has interveiwed everyone from the mayor to city planners, and there is a community discussion about her findings this Saturday morning at 10am at the Public Library!
WHEW...I think that's it! Have a great rest of your day!

Wednesday, May 19th 2010 - Right now is one of my favorite times of the year, time for playoff hockey! Hockey is something I would never play, but is absolutely one of my favorite sports. Now I know playoff's always turn up the level of play in any sport, but I think this is really apparant when it comes to hockey. The hits, speed of skating, and overall intensity is way up. It got me thinking, I wonder how great the sport would be if they played this way all the time. My friends who play for the Bozeman ICEDOGS laugh because I give them no slack. If they have a bad game, I'm going to tell them when asked. If they have a great game, I'll give them the praise they deserve. Nothing in life drives me more crazy than when people give a half a**ed effort and expect the maximum results. Makes me think, do I do everything every day to my fullest potential? No. What am I missing out on because of this? Hmm...thoughts for your Wednesday! Happy rainy day!
Tuesday, May 18th 2010 - Yesterday was such a beautiful day here in Bozeman! I attended my first BBQ of the year at my best friend Kristen's house. She had a group of us over for drinks and burgers, and it was wonderful. I don't think I can ever get enough of sitting around with my favorite people on the planet taking advantage of the wonderful Southwest Montana weather! Don't forget to stop by iWireless this week and get the MY Bonus Code...you're going to earn points instantly and just possibly $1000 on Monday morning! Have a great day!! ~Erin
Monday, May 17th 2010 - Good Morning! Today marks the start of week 2 for me here on the MY 103.5 Morning Show! I have been down the hall on XL Country for the past couple years, and am so excited to be with the "cool kids" here on MY! I grew up in a small town in North Dakota, came out here to go to Montana State, and got lucky enough to stay after graduation! I live out at Four Corners with my three dogs..Kobe, Lucy & Sunshine. Most of my spare time is spent either with my dogs, on the mountain at Big Sky, Moonlight or Bridger, or floating the Madison River. I absolutely love Southwest Montana and am so excited to join the MY family! Have a great Monday!!! ~Erin
