Pay for Play
WKIT-FM 100.3 here in Bangor is having a "Pay for Play" day to benefit the American Red Cross. If you're in WKIT listening area, call the radio station at 1-800-287-1003 or 990-3100 and request a song with a minimum pledge of $10.
Station owners Stephen and Tabitha King are matching, dollar for dollar, every donation. It's a rock station, so I'm tempted to call in with a request for Barry Manilow.
UPDATE - Just called in with a request and a pledge. I wimped out on the Manilow thing. Requested "C'mon, C'mon" by the Von Bondies instead.
They really are playing anything, by the way. "Shower the People" by James Taylor is on right now.

Let me know when housing offers are organized on a website, I have a place to offer in Colorado.

If a website is organized for housing offers, let me know, my wife and I have a place to offer to a single person or possibly a couple. Must be willing to face a winter in the Colorado Rockies.

Hey there...just an update on WKITs "Pay for Play"...I just heard while listening that they have hit the $150,000 mark that Stephen agreed to match & are still going! Who wants to bet that our most benevolent local citizen will break his word and KEEP MATCHING right up to the final dollar??? I think he will!

I think you may be right, Jenny. The Kings are extremely generous people.
