MARATHON WEEK ONE. TUESDAY MARCH 3rd. THIS IS THE TIME, PEOPLE. WE CAN DO THIS.

I'm gonna dig DEEP and pledge again next week (and you have no idea how dug I deeped for this weeks pledge I had to do!) to try and get Tom to say Trucknutz on the air.

Juvenile? Yes, but I'm okay with that.

I won something by a band I've never heard of!

I wonder how much I have to pledge to win a copy of Philly Boy Roy's Complete Sandanista! Sessions box. I really wanna hear some of those all-amplifier hum discs.

So yeah, Skittles decided to make twitter part of their website so they could make everyone tweet about skittles and then apparently buy a bag. I think we can steal their thunder and make everything about the marathon and just drop the word skittles at the end so when people to go see their own skittles post they're bombarded with 'FMU.

Hey it couldn't hurt. You can always delete your skittles pandering tweets after your post falls off the first page.

Truly one of my proudest moments was hearing Tom personally thank me on the air last night! I called my mom about it.

it was interesting to discover hatch's home state is AZ.

I haven't heard yet how The Mike Show did in the marathon. Any early numbers? Any numbers? Empty bottles?

PS  question: for higher pledges, do you get whatever your pledge includes (DJ premiums, etc.) and whatever is in the lower pledges leading up to it?

Yes you do.

It's weird they never seem to mention it... that 75 dollaz gets you the fun pack PLUS the WFMU t-shirt... BARGAIN!

I gave a premium pledge but did not choose one of the t-shirts on the pledge page. Is there someone I should contact to rectify this situation? I only ask because those t-shirts are pretty sharp.

I thought a few minutes before replying to this, but I am in the same boat... The web pledge page didn't indicate that a T-shirt is included in the $75 pledge...

Can anyone clarify? It's not like I don't already have a few fmu t-shirts, but I would like that new one with the bird!

A pledge of $75 gets you everything UP TO and including the $75 level. I think the pledge form makes that pretty clear, but I'm sure you can alter it after the fact if you email or call the marathon HQ.

The marathon volunteer wrote down my name wrong, which led to Hatch and Tom completely mispronouncing my name and thanking a first name that DOES NOT EXIST AT ALL. This was supposed to be my moment of triumph! What am I going to do about it? Pledge next week and enunciate!

You think you got it tough, go back and hear what kind of thanks a certain dfk got; it's around 3:01 on the archive.

Of course, all is forgiven; in times of great works, sacrifices must be expected and accepted.

Weirder than any of this is the fact that Clay Pigeon apparently knows Fredericks from New Port Richey. I listened to Clay's marathon show yesterday and they talked about it when Fredericks pledged. Soon thereafter, Tom pledged and his comments called dibs on Fredericks.

I just listened to that today, it was great.  I was kinda surprised Tom wanted him...

Yes you do.

Now that most people have pledged, I thought I'd observe that I don't think you do.  But I usually do a bunch of different pledges so I can't keep track of what's for what.

You definitely do.
