Official congratulations thread.

I was also particularly thrilled to hear that someone had pledged from Barnet in the UK. That's my neck of woods, AND Jason's too. Represent.

[Dorvid Barnas]

That was a ton of fun.   What's not to love about anything related to this show? 
For those who enjoyed Patton's "Flamer" character but were unaware of its origin, rent this.

Hey, I don't post here often (I'm mostly found here: http://bored.knockknockrecords.com/index.php/topic,20961.0.html <--- "Pop Punk" Board you may have heard about on some marathon thank you's), but I agree with the sentiment! 

Two amazing marathon shows, I was on the edge of my seat at the end last night (even luring me into an additional $25 pledge).  Congrats to Tom and all involved!

Thanks for the pics Slocker. Everyone looked like they were having a great time!

[Sarah]

Just came to my moment in the sun in the archive, and I especially wanted to thank all the people in the background who so gratifyingly recognized my name (well, my location).  You were awfully sweet.

Shovel follow-up with photos

Nice follow-up, but they claim it all went down in "New York, NY"!  No!  The magic happened in JC!

EDIT: Ha!  They just fixed this!

"Last night, Tom Scharpling and his Best Show on New Jersey/New York radio station WFMU . . . " 

New Jersey/New York?  Where is that? Midway through the Holland? 

Aw, c'mon, guys.  Sorry for the misprints (though I still think FOTs is an okay thing to say) but, it was 2am when we deliriously put that news piece together.

Anyways: big, huge, ginormous thanks to Tom for letting us come down to the studio to cover the show.  It was kind of, you know, a ridiculous dream come true.  Like basically my last dying wish, except that I'm not dying, I don't think.  Really honored to be able to give back to the station, though, if only in the way of a little publicity.  Hope we weren't in the way too much!

Also, more to the point: Here are the rest of my pictures, or the decent ones, at least.

[Sarah]

Christine, I, for one, am very grateful.

Nevertheless, the once and future plural of FOT is FOT.

Thanks, christine!

[christine]

Yep, just saw & fixed.  Thanks Jouster!

[Sarah]

Great closing shot of the ABBA box.

[TL]

That was some great P'fork coverage - thanks, Christine!  Why didn't you introduce yourself??

[Sarah]

Woe, o, woe is me.  The rousing finale of last night's show is absent from the archives. 

This is tragic.

[masterofsparks]

Yeah, I saw that Sarah. It's not on the beginning of the Small Change archive, either.

[buffcoat]

What happened at the end?  I stopped streaming in the middle of something.  Heck and damnation.

[christine]

That was some great P'fork coverage - thanks, Christine!  Why didn't you introduce yourself??

Oh, just because I was a huge bundle of nerves / am generally brutally shy / was trying not to bother anyone more than I had to.  I'm not unfriendly, I swear!

TL, I think you chatted with Matt though, who wrote the news story -- his band opened for yours once!

Woe, o, woe is me.  The rousing finale of last night's show is absent from the archives. 

This is tragic.

This'll probably make it to the podcast though, no?
