The Best Show on WFMU: The End

Yep, we're done here, jerks.

(01:46:46) Tom_Scharpling: The Best Show On WFMU is ending on December 17th.
(01:46:57) Tom_Scharpling: Write it in stone. It's happening.

Pay your last respects.
Ever do nothing and gain nothing from it?
Ever feel stupid and then know that you really are?
Ever think you're smart and then find out you aren't?
Ever play the fool and then find out that you're worse?

Does anyone know if WFMU will still maintain the archive?  I'm hoping that they do.

Don't worry, I am sure Seven Second Delay will rise from the ashes and become the number one fund raiser once again!  8)

I really have no idea how he did it for so long.  And kept it great.  Work days will be a lot more dull...

What are we going to do now?
Sounds like someone was working as a conduit for nature's natural vengeance.  Just like Jesus.  And some of the others.

The silver lining I'm trying to wring for myself is that now I get to be a cosmonaut in the archives and try to write some insane comprehensive history of the show without worrying about keeping up on the new episodes

I'm going to put some extra effort into fotpedia to clean up the spam and plan to keep it running indefinitely. Thanks for everything tom!

I'm sad. I'm really sad. But more than being sad, I'm grateful. Tom has given me and us all SO MUCH and for free. What he created is enormous, a serious achievement. To ask for more would be greedy.

Anyone in the Chicago area want to get together somewhere to listen to the last show?

I think it would be fun to coordinate ongoing (weekly?) listens progressing through the archives at a schedule time, so we can get together on chat/twitter. Assuming others would be into this, what would be a good place to do it --- anybody know if the archives will remain online on WFMU.org?
