Sure, send me a PM with your address and I'll send them out as soon as possible! Gonna go with the honor system here since I obviously can't verify who donated what.  ;D

I like to draw comics so I'll offer a high quality print of a new original comic made exclusively for FOT forum members who donate $100.




what my comics are like: www.thesubcommittee.com I promise this isn't some lame excuse to link my stuff.



I donated $100!

I pledged a fair amount last night and did not receive an email, which is how I assume they take all the relevant info (this is my first time donating to WFMU,). I'm wondering if this is strange, or if it takes some time. I'm hoping she did not spell my email incorrectly. People always spell my last name incorrectly, even if I spell it for them. Please advise!

If you pledged by phone, you'll get something in the mail in a few weeks that confirms your gift choices and tells you how much, if any, you still owe (you'll get this if you pledged online as well). If you pledged online, you should've gotten a pledge receipt via email. Mine went into my spam box, so check there.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

hmm. The phone person did not ask me about my pledge gifts. I am flummoxed.

When you complete your pledge with the thing they send you in the mail, you can check the package(s) that you want.

we'd have to openly list the amounts or personally PM...i guess.

I like this idea, so I'll offer some things that the winner will be able to pick ONE from:

  • A sneaked in easter egg image of your choice in the upcoming, totally unauthorized Fuel Dump graphic novel I'm currently working on.
  • A rap rapped just for you, on a theme of your choosing (guaranteed not to be very good).
  • Something I mail to you, that is entirely up to me (this one is the wild card).

Fuel Dump graphic novel?  That is really exciting.

last year, i opted for "no swag, please" but this year i went all out and grabbed a ton of crap.  im so excited about opening my marathon premiums, but i always feel better/more excited about donating.

i shamefully don't have the funds to make a donation this year, but in the spirit of this thing, i will make an axe-bass-shaped ukulele for the FOT who donates the most during the second marathon show.  i can scrawl 'this machine kills tom' across the front, if you want.

if the winner is vegan, please let me know and i'll skip the shellac.
