KMRE Fundraising Drive

I’m working with my old friends at the American Museum of Radio and Electricity to raise funds for their radio station, KMRE.

KMRE has tremendous community support. Everybody loves the station. They’ve just been too busy running an amazing radio station to develop a funding base.

I’m organizing an online fundraiser on Indie GoGo (like Kickstarter, but for operating funds) and a benefit concert at the museum on September 29. Most importantly, I’ll be reaching out to area businesses to sponsor air time on KMRE. Sponsorships — known as underwriting in the radio world — are a great opportunity for KMRE to develop long term funding, and for businesses to get top-of-the-mind exposure from on-air mentions.

You can listen to KMRE here, and make a donation here. If you’re interested in underwriting KMRE, drop me a line on the contact page.

Last week the Pickford Film Center announced that the long-awaited new theater at 1318 Bay St. is opening on Thursday, April 7. But questions remained. Are the new seats comfortable?

Trailer Wars!

One of the small, nagging frustrations in my life is that I always hear about a new installment of Trailer Wars AFTER it happens. And my Facebook feed tells me I just missed another one on 2/22. Trailer Wars is an ongoing filmmaking competition that is so messy and amorphous that I’d better let them tell you about it.

Seattle PI Feed Broken

The Seattle PI recently changed up their blogging software, and I can’t get the post headlines to show up here any more. I’ll see if I can figure it out, but in the meantime I’ll be posting linked excerpts manually.

It looks like posts are importing to Facebook just fine. There might be some duplicate postings there as I am hitting the “update post” key a lot as I figure things out.

Let’s Do the Time Warp Again

I’m in the process of uploading my writing samples from my somewhat sick and wheezy desktop computer. I’m backdating the posts to reflect the original print publication date, so there are now “new” posts from 2005. When I get to the book reviews we’ll be revisiting the ’90s! These posts should drop off the front page pretty soon. Until then just know that it’s a filing system, not a wormhole.
