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

[lisajanepersky]

I called at the end only to add to the Bonnie pile. Andy made our pledge online at 9 o'clock because he's sick and has no voice. I was getting soup. Our pledge never got read so we thought maybe it didn't get added to The Best Show draw.

Anyway, Christina, I'm so glad I got to talk to you. You were great. Everyone was great. What a night for (still and always) The Best Show!

[Tom Scharpling]

There was a stack of pledges that didn't get read on the air but they DID get included in all the drawings. Fear not!

Tom.

Auntie Christina was awesome on the phone.  I totally choked when it came time for my shout-out and she let me ramble for a good minute plus while I was concocting what I wanted to say.  IFLY, Auntie!

I agree. I too wanted to chat more, before realizing that would prevent her from taking more pledges. Also, my baby was yelling because I didn't put the "right" Yo Gabba Gabba DVD on.

Which one is the right one? My 2 year old loves them, and anything that promotes dancing and manners is alright with me.

It's probably lame of me to perpetuate the Yo Gabba Gabba talk in this thread, but I am a big fan, too.  My son Otis dressed up as Plex for Halloween this year.  "I am the magic robot from TVeeeee," he would tell people.

I pledged via web a few days early (which turned out to be a good thing because my internet punked out comcastically last night) but is this not the preferred way? Does the Best Show not get "credit" for my pledge? I picked the right premium. Just curious.

[Reeleyes]

We did it! Anyway, YGG is the best children's show going. My 2yo loves it and has a Plex doll.

Let me share a proud moment … so Tom is up and moving the whole time, right? Before the show he’s pulling records, he’s all over the station, he stands throughout the show, punches the air & jumps around to the music. He’s in the phone room, then he’s back in the studio ... just all over the place. The show ends, and Tom’s out in the anteroom leaning on a stair rail regaining some equilibrium, cause he pushed hard, especially at the end, and everyone’s marveling at the foot-&-a-half high stack of pledge cards. So I go, “Wow, it’s like a marathon!” I meant running a marathon of course, so I had to kinda go “HAHAHA running a marathon HAHAHAHA!” to cover my tracks.

Dumb! Ass!

Pretty funny.  Sounds like something I would say around Tom.  Didn't know you were working the phones or I would have called, I pledged on-line during the show, but haven't heard the whole show yet, so I don't know if my pledge was mentioned (don't actually care if it was).

awesome costume Cramedog. YGG is one of the few kids' shows the baby watches that I can stand. She's quite partial to Barney and Caillou lately (insert image of me raising imaginary gun to temple).

Another Yo Gabba Gabba fan here. Watched 10+ episodes yesterday.
Wish I could find a youtube clip of when Cornelius were on.

Wait! Here, for the uninitiated -

I pledged right at 8:00 and my name wasn't read until almost 10:00. I take this as a good sign.

Yeah, the printer couldn’t keep up with the web pledges & at one point was a ½ hour behind … and that’s before they tallied & sorted, and then made piles for Terre T to read over the air. I had big fun talking to youse guys – talked to Scratchbomb early on and scribbled Kristina’s name so badly that Terre added an extra syllable when she read it – My fault Kristina! My handwriting just blows now that we have the computers and live in the future.

Also talked to JustNicole and Big Plastic Head, and sat next to a bunch of awesome WFMU dudes as they took pledges from a lot of you – I recognized a bunch of your names! Kiemzi scored big time when she bagged I think 3 celeb calls – Patton, PFT, and Tim Heidecker! Right at the end, I also heard from Lisa Jane Persky! I was such a jibbering idiot at that point I thought she was a previous pledger calling back – the woman had a similar name.

You could not have been any cooler, Christina. You are awesome and I thank you for coming down and helping out!

Tom.

[Pastor Josh]

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place, but I can't find the total for the marathon.  All wfmu.org says (that I can find) is that their goal was exceeded.

[Christina]

You could not have been any cooler, Christina. You are awesome and I thank you for coming down and helping out!

Tom.

Good grief, I'm totally blushing!

[kiemzi]

Tom.

i'm gonna go ahead and agree w/ Tom Scharpling on this one. Auntie Christina is the coolest!
