Title: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: Barry Egan on November 17, 2009, 10:57:26 PM
Some hero in the chat, not myself but I don't know whom, suggested we all pitch in to make sure FOT Bonnie gets her shirt.

Figured it'd be easier for us to just add on to our own pledges than have a bunch of different people calling up. 

So, if you wanna pitch in for Bonnie, post here!

$5.

$10.

Cerny was the big giver.  I think we got her over one hundred.

I pledged another $10. Bonnie, get your damn shirt on, girl.

I also made an additional $10 pledge in Bonnie's name.

I'm in for $10.

I emailed Joe and told him to add the difference to my pledge.  Bonnie will get the shirt!!

I already paid my original pledge online but I called in to pledge another $10 for Bonnie.  I'll send that in when I get my pledge card to make sure everything is in order.  Thanks FOT's and thanks Bonnie for being awesome.

Post by: Pastor Josh on November 17, 2009, 11:06:36 PM
Wait!  I already pledged ten in her name.  It's all I can be in for!  Have you all pledged already, or is this your intention to pledge?
Title: Re: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: erechoveraker on November 17, 2009, 11:07:45 PM
I paid that directly with paypal, Josh - on top of my other pledge. If you can't do it, it looks like she's good.

(fot are kind of awesome, yeah?)
Title: Re: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: Pastor Josh on November 17, 2009, 11:09:57 PM
This is confusing, but I trust that it will be worked out.  Bonnie gets her t-shirt, anyway.
Title: Re: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: nec13 on November 17, 2009, 11:11:07 PM
I think I'm just going to send an e-mail to Joe. We'll get this sorted out.
Title: Re: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: erechoveraker on November 17, 2009, 11:12:25 PM
Well I put a note in my $10 pledge that it was for Bonnie - I assume others did something similar as well. Here's to hoping the powers that be get it all figured out and make sure Bonnie gets her shirt.






























Or we riot.

Part of the reason I love this show is the community that Tom has formed.  If I could form that same kind of giving, exciting community in a church, we could change the world.
Title: Re: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: Martin on November 17, 2009, 11:14:02 PM
Someone let me and others slightly confused individual know exactly how to do this, who to pay and what to say. Thanks.
Title: Re: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: masterofsparks on November 17, 2009, 11:16:28 PM
I didn't know anything about this until just now. If extra money is needed, I will gladly up my pledge to make sure Bonnie gets the premium.
Title: Re: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: Pastor Josh on November 17, 2009, 11:17:26 PM
What I did was call and make a pledge in the name of Bonnie from Georgia.  They then added it to her pledge in spirit and mine in finance.
Title: Re: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: nec13 on November 17, 2009, 11:18:21 PM
I just sent WFMU $10 via PayPal and requested that it be disbursed on her behalf. I think this is acceptable.

I did the same. Mine is noted accordingly.

I think if we all write something like "$___ donated on behalf of FOT Bonnie"  on our actual pledge cards, that'll be proof enough for the suits.  And hey, no need to stop once we reach 100.  It's all going to WFMU, so I say LET'S GET BONNIE A MOUSE PLEDGE. (this may be a stretch)

$10 more.
Title: Re: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: mattmaher on November 17, 2009, 11:52:49 PM
I chipped in $10.

Another 25.00 from me, LJP for Bonnie

Couldn't figure out how to change my pledge or afford to pledge more, but I will donate some swag to someone on the board that did.  Or something.  I'm about at my limit of WFMU shirts, I think.

I am not sure what is going on because I could not listen to the show tonight, nor have I been tweeting, etc.  (1) Is all well with FOT Bonnie? And regardless of whether I know what is going on (I usually do not know anyway), (2) I will tack on 10 more dollars when I get the paperwork in the mail and say it is from Bonnie.

Bonnie is well, we were just raising money in order to get her a premium.  Several users tacked on a few extra bucks in Bonnie's name in appreciation of the good things she does.

Post by: lisajanepersky on November 18, 2009, 12:40:21 AM
I tacked on a little bit extra for Bonnie just because she's awesome.
and...
I wouldn't know about the Peanut Butter place in NY if it weren't for her-
which only adds to her all around awesomeness.

I know that Bonnie has contributed to my friends charity thing he has posted, and did last year too (and too other things too I imagine either through money or volunteering), so very tough for a college student.  I will chip in ten in her name in addition to my minimum premium pledge.  Maybe she will end up with more premiums?

Good on Bonnie for being so generous,  good on you guys for following her lead and helping her out!

Best Show for life

I am just going to send Bonnie a pie I made.

No, seriously. I'm in for 10.

But that pie would have been good. If you cut off the moldy spots.

People are pretty convinced of the existence of Tom and WFMU. God and Heaven are a trickier sell.

Heaven is probably bullshit and God is probably beside the point.  What matters is doing stuff like this, which people do because of the community Tom has created.  You know, all that love your neighbor crap.  That's what I'm interested in.

SO what's the total?  Is Bonnie near a mouse pledge?

Oh Dave, you know I don't believe in any form of violence.


however, if pie is involved I may reconsider.

Isn't "cosa nostra" Italian for "pie murder"?

Hey guyzes!
I got my pledge form today. It says:
total pledged: 100
paid: 75 (thanks aaron!)
amount due: 25
prizes won: garden state sticker, best show premium, and woof-moo shirt (I'm assuming they mean Radio Bear) shirt
Does that sound about right?

Title: Re: T-Shirt for Bonnie
Post by: kiemzi on December 01, 2009, 01:00:08 AM
Sounds like altogether you drummed up $265. nice one, Bonnie! I just emailed Joe McGasko to check whether you needed to do anything special...

I think you should make a note about the $265 and select swag based on that!

I'll let you know what they say, though!
