Sunday Morning Sidewalk 3/19/06

Today, the plan for the show was that there was no plan for the show. Today was also my first appearance for the Spring Fund Drive. We did well, I think...well, better than I've done on Sunday Morning Sidewalk during a pledge drive.

A word on pledge drives. As much as you don't like hearing people beg for money on the radio, I don't particularly care to beg. I mean, I really wish we had a patron donor that could take care of all of our funds needed to run the station, but we have no such entity. Until we do, we'll have to have pledge drives. I feel like everyone gets stressed out during these two weeks, both listeners and programmers. I know the last 3 pledge drives, I've felt like calling this gig quits and leaving KEOS altogether due to lack of interest or at least, lack of pledges. I do feel that The Loose Logic Set would work more sucessfully in other cities...to coin a phrase from Dylan...I'm stuck in College Station with the Austin blues again.
