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

I hope everything goes well with your mom, Dave. My thoughts are with you.

If Dave is able to pledge in spite of his circumstances, there's no excuse for everyone else not to pledge. Do it, people!

[iAmBaronVonTito]

dave!  good luck with your mom.

im very excited to listen live and donate tonite.  








*buffcoat, i dont think it matters unless the premiums are first come, first serve.  although, my understanding from previous years has been: you get your stuff after your first three payments.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

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?

[Hoboken Brian]

Testimonial: I listen to the radio for a living. Approximately half of my work week is devoted to listening to drive-time commercial radio for in the take-no-prisoners field of media research. It's tedious, repetitive and involves correcting the same mistakes dozens of times. and the shows themselves? Try listening to Scott and Todd on PLJ. You'll be begging to clean your ears out with a shrimp fork. It's not the worst. The worst is discernibly better than PLJ or Elvis Duran.

The last thing I should want to do after slaving for the man is listen to more radio. But then there's "The Best Show on WFMU".

I'm pledging. You better believe I'm pledging.

(Dave, all the best from Brooklyn. I hope it all goes well, sir.)

(Unrelated note: spell check thinks "drive-time" should be "derivative".)

Yes you do.

[frachse]

I'm moving to a new apartment this week and still need some stuff for the new place which will pretty much eat up most of my savings. But I'm still going to pledge.

Dave, all the best to you and your mom from Germany.

Hey, phonebankers, should I bring a box of TastyKakes SENSABLE [sic] finger cakes? Or would ol' Mayor Ziegler disapprove of this sugar-free bastardization? They only have one butterscotch krimpet left at the corner Duane Reade, that's not enough for everyone to share!!

And to Dave: As I said before, my thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family. You're a nice guy, and I imagine you were brought up by a sweet Southern lady. I hope your momma pulls through this soon and has many years of baking red velvet cake and such. Seriously.

the lady holding up the line at the store today begs to differ; she was wearing a shirt that said, "i'd like to buy the world a coke".

[Martin]

That Best Show Tea premium hasn't got people talkin' (until now). What a weird and wonderful premium. For a FOT/tea nut such as myself it sounds awesome, but holy s-hit is it out of my $$$ league. I hope someone gets it.

[B_Buster]

Best wishes to your mom, Dave (and please ignore my new avatar--it was the closest thing I could come up with to a staring chicken).

[moderate rock]

I can't pledge this week, as my funds are low. But I promise next week you will see a pledge from me. I must have that  premium!

[namethebats]

I've crunched the numbers, and I've got just enough room to pledge $75 and have enough left over for the power company and the IRS. I'm looking forward to tonight!

[erika]

I can't pledge this week, as my funds are low. But I promise next week you will see a pledge from me. I must have that  premium!

Don't forget that you don't have to pay up front. They will send you a pledge form and you can do monthly payments!

[kittykittymeowmixhead]

That's awesome! (I was thinking how unfortunate the timing is what with rent being due this week).

[iAmBaronVonTito]

note: from y understanding, if you do the monthly payments, they charge the first payment right away if youre using a credit card. 


this is how i remember it last year when i did the payments.  im sure i'll be corrected if im wrong.
