Support Tom Scharpling’s The Best Show On WFMU TONIGHT

Posted in Uncategorized by andrewearles on March 9, 2010

See promotional message below. Do what it says.

I am endorsing this as hard as I can. If you were 

in the room with me right now, you would hear 

and see me straining and grunting and shifting

in my seat. Check out that first  link…the

wikipedia page. You will see that I’m 

not just some rube and my request should be

met with action on your part. Don’t let my friend

Tom down, or I will find out who you are and 

find a way to make sure you are let down, by

fourteen consecutive people over the course of

two years. Do what is right. Do not comment 

on the color of my name on that wikipedia page.

I have been waiting for the right moment…..wait

a damned second, this is not about me, this is 

about you showing me and the rest of the world

that you’re on the level.  

 

TONIGHT MY LOYAL READERS’ FINAL CHANCE TO

CALL THE BEST SHOW ON WFMU TONIGHT, 8 PM

 EST to 11 PM EST:

 

EPIC PLEDGE DRIVE FEAT. PATTON OSWALT AND

JOHN HODGMAN, PLUS BEST SHOW DVD FEAT.

PATTON OSWALT, PAUL F. TOMPKINS, AIMEE

 MANN,

FUCKED UP, MORE.
 

AGAIN, WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU PLEDGE: THE BEST SHOW ON WFMU DVD, TRADING CARDS, AND MORE!

LISTENERS CAN PLEDGE TO WIN THE FIRST EVER BEST SHOW ON WFMU DVD! It’s a full-length DVD called FANTASIA IN BEST SHOW MINOR, and it’s going to be amazing. Tom says that “It features stuff you’re never going to believe.” The DVD features PATTON OSWALT, TED LEO, PAUL F. TOMPKINS, ZACH GALIFIANAKIS, FUCKED UP, TIM AND ERIC, JOHN HODGMAN, AIMEE MANN, SCHARPLING AND WURSTER, YO LA TENGO, KURT VILE, MATT FRACTIONTODD BARRYJASON WOLINER

…and, says Tom, there are are “many more. There’s going to be puppets. Animation. Scharpling and Wurster stuff like you’ve never seen before. Travelogues from callers like Fredericks from New Port Richie, Julie from Cincinnati, AP Mike and more! Seriously – there are so many people working so hard on this thing. It’s gonna be legendary.” And when the marathon is over, this thing is COMPLETELY UNAVAILABLE. 
The second part of the Chump Steamroller Fun Pack is a set of BEST SHOW TRADING CARDS, which depict your favorite callers and characters from the show. They are being designed by Chris Moses and Joe Allen – two guys who have done amazing jobs with previous Best Show projects – and they are outdoing themselves on this! Artists Michael Kupperman and Brian Musikoff are on board, among others, and again, these cards will be GONE FOREVER if you don’t pledge DURING THE BEST SHOW!

 

Last but not least, pledging will get folks the first ever BEST SHOW BUMPER STICKER. Also awesome and also available ONLY BY PLEDGING DURING THE BEST SHOW. Once the marathon is over, THEY ARE GONE FOREVER.

And as an added bonus, anyone who pledges $1,000 gets something special just from Tom. It’s a secret. He says, “I am not trying to be vague here but trust me on this one. I’ve got something JUST FOR YOU. I’ll make you happy with it – I PROMISE.” Furthermore, IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO CALL OR PLEDGE ONLINE DURING THE BEST SHOW, Tom will gladly write the pledge up himself. You can email him your information – name, address and pledge amount – and he will fill it out himself. All addresses and information is completely confidential and is not sold or distributed in any way shape or form, so don’t worry about your privacy. Write Tom at toms (at) wfmu.org, and he’ll take care of it.

A pledge of $75 or more automatically earns you the Best Show 2010 CHUMP STEAMROLLER FUN PACK. You need to pledge DURING THE BEST SHOW to get it.

CALL 1-800-989-9368 or PLEDGE ONLINE at www.wfmu.org on TUESDAY MARCH 9th between 8-11 PM EST and be counted!
