So, who's pledged already?

[Matt]

I have! For some reason, I have a lot more money in my checking account than I thought I did, so I figured I should go ahead and pledge while I still had the money to do it. It felt great!

I don't want to speak too soon, but if all goes as it should, a particularly integral element of the Best Show will be named after me in 2008. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

What're you waitin' for? Pledge already!

Don't tell me... the ABBA Box?

No, but only slightly less important than that.

I wanna do it during the show!

If you want to pledge now you can pledge.

But don't underestimate the explosion of excitement that is The Best Show On WFMU Marathon Show and the reward of pledging during it.

Ah, damn you weeknight work schedule! Listening to one of the marathon shows sounds like it'd be a lot of fun.

I'm not entirely sure right now, but I think I have the last week of February off. If that's the case, I'll see if I can't scrounge up a little more and call in and pledge.

And Emma - do you mean "Mike" as in the microphone or as in Call Screener Mike? One of these is closer than the other!

[yesno]

I've already pledged because I like the anonymity and sterility of Internet e-transactions.

Now I can listen to the Best Show Marathon guilt free.

Microphone is probably closer, but i was really really hoping for call screener/associate producer Mike.

The bad news: I was going to volunteer at the marathon but I got into a very competitive music-theater (as in, I'll be learning to write musicals) program that runs exactly the same days.  I had to beg to get one day off so I could teach on the week that I couldn't get a sub.

The good news: I just found out I'm getting paid for the program, so I can pledge.

Well done, Matt.
Know what I see, though?  A coffee mug without a coaster and a mouse without a pad.
You're a desk now, damn it, have some self-respect.
