Stuff and things

Thanks very much to the folks who have taken advantage of our flashy new "Donate" button and donated online, as well as those who came out to the WTF-fest/ Free Radio Fundraiser a couple weeks ago.

We'd like to show our appreciation for receiving donations, so, anyone who donates $5 or more will receive a laminated spoke-card to stick in your bike wheel. Anyone who donates $15 or more will receive a T-shirt with a WTF stencil. Some shirts have various designs, others are plain. We're working on getting some screenprinted.

Also, there are two events coming up that we want you to know about:

Thursdsay, November 11th 8pm
Frack-action Fundraiser @ Nietzsche's
Community speak-out against Hydro-fracking.
(What is hydro-fracking? A drilling process that results in toxic water, air and soil in exchange for a little bit of natural gas. It's devastating areas around the US and is coming here to Erie County [unless we stop it]! For more information: nyrad.org, shaleshock.org, marcellusprotest.org)

This is important folks. The amount of pollution caused by Fracking is unbelievable. In fact, it's so toxic that after contamination you can SET YOUR TAP WATER ON FIRE! Come and find out what's going on in our community around this LIFE-and-DEATH Issue.

Bloodthirsty Vegans, Glass Hero & Fudgy Chewy will be performing.


Monday, November 8th 8pm
local artists Julie Byrne and Ginger James will be opening for Minneapolis duo Raccoon Raccoon. (myspace.com/mocksyringa, myspace.com/raccoonraccoon)

No $ required. Donations encouraged and greatly appreciated.

This is a house show at Speakeasy. (On Baynes, just north of Breckenridge. Look for groups of bikes, humans, or a candle-lit porch.)

ciao for now

Well, that was fast.

Dig that "Donate" button!

Our goal: $2,000. This will purchase:

• a new transmitter, with both more power and better electrical efficiency, allowing us to use the current setup for mobile applications (at cost of about eleven hundred dollars)
  
• professional DJing software, for a more consistent and effective programming schedule (at a cost of about 250 dollars)
• a newer used computer, so that our brave DJs no longer have to curse with frustration at our outdated equipment (at a cost of about 500 dollars)
  

Coming soon: the WTF store! We'll have shirts, bike and skateboard stickers, and other WTF-related artwork. We'll keep ya posted, Buffalo!

Happy Halloween!

It's been a lovely cold autumn day, the air is sweet and crisp, the leaves have rattled and fallen against the gale, and we here at FRB are recovering from the various bacchanalia of the weekend!

Our fundraiser last week was a success, netting us just over one hundred dollars in donations which will be put to good use paying our electricity and internet access fees. Several individuals inquired regarding alternate methods of donation--we're working on that. There will be a "donate" link here on the blog soon, so that you, our magnanimous benefactor, can conveniently support and help upgrade the station you love.

Special thanks to DJ Mushmouth for the tacos--invaluable fodder for a rough morning in the bunker!

Elections Tuesday--might I recommend a write-in candidate, our very own Mr. Richard Phittswell? Dick Phittswell for ... well, whatever post. It doesn't really matter. One sock puppet is as good as another.

Taking urine donations for the victory celebrations.

Clean pee only, thanks.

Love ya!
