Eight marathons! WHOOOOO!

Sun. 3/8/09 10:14pm From: Greg from Detroit

Yes! Give us more bells!

First time I ever saw Roland Kirk perform was this 1975 Soundstage broadcast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0JJmwq7KXQ. For some reason I never have understood, my high school's library subscribed to *Down Beat*.

Aw, I was hoping the whole premium would be stuff that drives my cats crazy. But I'm getting it anyway.

Scott or Bethany - What's the station total at right now, as of 10pm? Want to update the homepage.

Sun. 3/8/09 10:47pm From: Bethany

Ken - we just hit the half-way mark of the marathon! Next mic break we'll make it official!

Sun. 3/8/09 10:55pm From: stingy d

two things:
1 - is that scott williams?
2 - how much does it cost to be a part of the book?

Symmetry! Halfway done timewise, halfway done moneywise. Very aesthetic!

Sun. 3/8/09 11:03pm From: Another Marathon Veteran

G, no, actually not halfway done time-wise. More than halfway. I'm not sure I can explain it very well. It involves the Orthodox Jews and Purim....

Sun. 3/8/09 11:15pm From: G

OK, ergo only superficially aesthetic -- what else is new, though, in the world of aesthetics? (add your own emoticon here).

Yes, the Jewish morning show's whole "pledge fortnight" was pushed back a week because Purim starts Monday night --

so timewise the end of seven days is actually 50% + 3/24 ( = 1/8) of 50% = 56.25% (add "nerd" ASCII art nerd)...

Sun. 3/8/09 11:16pm From: Ish Kabibble

Yeah, the truth is that we really need to pick up the pace to meet the goal. JM in the AM finished with $250K, which subtracted from $600K leaves $350K non-JM for the week. If that pace continues, the final total will be $950K.

Sun. 3/8/09 11:21pm From: brandon not brenden

what was that western movie theme song?

Sun. 3/8/09 11:23pm From: brandon not brenden

why is JM in the AM the only show that announces the amount each person pledges?

Sun. 3/8/09 11:31pm From: Jonathan

Regarding Bottle Rocket, my cat's name is Dignan (and he frequently freaks out during the Stochastic Hit Parade)

Sun. 3/8/09 11:42pm From: G

Ish K. sounds like he's been talking to Ken...

Someone Weds. said Tom sucked in 60 K on Tuesday, so that means the other 150 hours in week one (168 minus 15 JM minus 3 Tom) netted 290 K, about 2K /hr.

To make 600 K in the remaining 168 hours, the math is 3.5 K/hr. So Ish knoweth whereof he speaketh...

Get pledging peepz! (I'm a Mouse already...)

Hi Bethany, congratulations on 8 years doing SHP. I'll have to forego the chance for your CD but will be quite happy to be sporting that very sweet-looking WooFMoU shirt. Keep up the free form wild and crazy shenanistuff.

Sun. 3/8/09 11:48pm From: john

Oh, it totally wasn't a dig. I only said how great Bottle Rocket was, not how Rushmore might be the most overrated movie of the last 300 years. Possibly 400. And I won't say that.

Sun. 3/8/09 11:50pm From: Ike

Wish I could've been there! Had to work. Ironically my boss hasn't sent me the files yet.

Bethany, back in 2002 or whenever, I was trying to assure you that it was no big deal if you couldn't raise a lot, b/c nobody ever expected much in this slot -- it's traditionally the least-listened-to non-overnight on most radio stations, I think. And then you made those phones go haywire! I was amazed!

Sun. 3/8/09 11:58pm From: richard

Whoops, I didn't know the grand prize was more than just that CD. Yikes, a lot more!
