Today marks a huge milestone for XRAY.fm, having officially taken over the dial at 107.10, getting a huge boost in broadcast range (it's also still going at 91.1, in case you're one of the rare souls who can get it there). To mark the start of their new era, XRAY is rounding up a bunch of its DJs for a photo shoot this afternoon with Alicia Rose. The theme, of course, is a riff on Say Anything.

"Lloyd Dobbler, boom box above the head w/ a trench coat, and a really killer car to pose in front of," describes outreach/events coordinator for XRAY Amy Dials. They'll also be stopping passerby to record impromptu station IDs, and are inviting the public to join them, maybe even taking their own XRAY portrait too. They'll be at Oregon Park (NE 29th & Oregon) from about 4-5:30 pm this evening, so swing by and get your voice on the airwaves—you'll be part of local media's history in the making! It's also just a huge and rapid achievement for this project, which began with a fair amount of skepticism. It's awesome to see them prevailing, and even awesomer to have one more quality—relevant, fresh, educational—alternative to switch over to when Prairie Home Companion rears its head (seriously, please kill that thing).

Strange Babes show you how.
