Mini Marathon - Tuesday November 17th. The Best Show. WE WILL DO THIS.

[Tom Scharpling]

Allison -

I'm not sure what sizes will be available. I'll find out tomorrow.

And YES, we are going to do this.

WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS!

I do need each and every person on this board to go out and pound the internets tomorrow. The Facebooks, Twitters, message boards - everything! Please just let everybody know this is going on, and let them know about the premium! If they are comic book fans, let them know about the Kupperman shirt! If they are rock maniacs, let them know about Terre T's awesome CD! But please - LET THEM KNOW!

It's gonna be a tough one, but I feel like we are gonna make something special happen tomorrow night.

Tom.

Looks like a chunk of the money I made at my art show last night is going bye-bye ...

Don't suppose they can just add it to my already-existing Mouse of Today pledge?

Naw ... I can do this ...... I needs my radio .....

If I could pledge during the best show, I certainly would, however, I find myself in Berlin Germany at the moment. The Best Show will be playing around 2-4am my time.  Tom, you said to email you if one could not pledge during your show.  What info do I need to send you?

[fletcher munson]

I'm definitely doing this.  Tom's the best.

MNordine -

Just send me your name, address, email and the pledge amount. I'll write it up and put it in as if you called in.

Thanks!

Tom.

Unless someone points out that I am wrong, you should be able to make an online pledge anytime during the marathon by going here:

https://www.wfmu.org/marathon/pledge.php

You won't get your name announced on the air or be in the running for special prizes, but you still make a pledge towards the show and the station and get your premiums. That's how I've always pledged.

I've always donated online and have never not had my name called. The trick might be to pledge as early as possible into the 8 o'clock hour. Can't wait for the show tonight and a chance to do my part!

[erechoveraker]

You are wrong  

I've always pledged online during the show (with an option to leave a note which is usually read on air) and your name etc are read by the co-host and considered part of the show total.

EDIT - Yeah, I'm sure timeliness is part of that too, too many pledges to thank by the end, especially the last 2 years.

[Sarah]

Tom likes it best if we pledge during the show.  Consider this:

No offense, Sarah, but pledging early is not the way to go if you're a FOT!

You need to show support for the show by pledging DURING THE BEST SHOW!

It's the ONLY WAY to let the Powers That Be know how strong and dedicated the listenership is!

And you get the exclusive GOOD GUYS WIN AND BAD GUYS DIE IN 2006 FUN KIT by pledging during my show! Wheee!

Let's make it happen, yo!

We'll talk more about this in the weeks to come.

Tom!

I am going to pledge like a mofo.  I just started a new job, so I don't have to pay right away, right?  In the past I always just did the credit card thing.

I'm thinking of paying in the next couple months and pledging tonight.

Moonshake, pledging during the show helps out Tom, but you can get your premium either way and I think if that's the only way you can pledge then you shouldn't freak out.

I was thinking that since this is a special case so they're going to ask for the pledges to get turned around very quickly - I know it's not something as simple as "oh jeez, our bank balance is really low" but I have no idea. This is why I don't run anything.

[moonshake]

I meant to say that you can pledge online and it doesn't necessarily have to be during the show to make your contribution. In fact, last year I pledged several weeks after the marathon was over and still got my premiums. So you shouldn't be worried about not being able to pledge during the show.

Obviously, those aren't the preferred ways to do it. If you can, you should call in and do it during the show. It's more fun that way and that's what I shall do tonight!!!

I love WFMU and a lot of other shows on it but how long do you think it took Ken to decide to have the mini-marathon on Tuesday night? 5 seconds?

Go get em Kid Jersey! Can't wait to get that premium.

[Pregnant Pause]

Sick in bed with the flu, but I'm going to try and fight the good fight and pledge during the show.

A no-brainer if there ever was one.
