Shots from inside the phone room of The Best Show On WFMU's marathon pledge show.
The show took in $83,566.73 which set a record for most money ever taken in during a three hour shift. I am proud to have been a part of Best Show and WFMU history.
My first call was for over $1,000 but I could hardly hear the caller making him repeat his info a number of times. The other calls were came in a lot clearer much to my relief.
I had the honor of sitting next to Laurie from Miami (by way of Chapel Hill). She is a really sweet person and great company.
Terre T of Cherry Blossom Clinic gave out cooking aprons for everyone in the phone room to wear while Tom dressed as the head chef.
The guests were Patton Oswalt and John Hodgeman who were both hilarious.
It had been looking forward to this for a long time and I had a great time.

That is the real Abba Box!
That's Ben Kharackh (r) and Laurie from Miami by way of Chapel Hill. It was great meeting both of them. That's Matt in the middle.

My phone in a rare moment when it wasn't ringing.
