	9:37am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Good morning Trouble, good morning everyone, let's keep washing those hands and stop rubbing other people's nostrils.
	9:40am Ken From Hyde Park: @Itzall - Did you catch the end of the Daily Show last night? They showed four clips of officials making virus announcements followed by said people immediately licking their own fingers (!) or rubbing hands all over their eyes, noses & mouths. Yikes!
	9:47am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Ken F.H.P., I did not but man, that's some nasty sh#t. Apparently there's other footage that shows Our High Exalted One doing similarly nasty things after stating that he has not "touched his face in weeks". It truly is a wonderful world!
	9:48am Earth Walker: Da Bronx
	9:48am prudy: Trouble lost her Providence accent...
	9:49am John from Florham park: Hello trouble and fellow troublemakers
	9:50am Handy Haversack: Hey, John.
	9:51am Meghan: Remember we will pull for prizes at the top of the hour! for any pledge for $20 or more is in the running for these prizes at the top of the hour- Jessica Pratt, Marcos Valle and Tiny Ruins
	9:53am John from Florham park: @Handy howdy again
	9:57am Handy Haversack: This sounds great. Got a meeting. Back in an hour (hopefully less!).
	9:57am ParUbi: <3 Tiny Ruins <3 so good
	9:58am Snoochienucci: Good luck handy (hopefully this is spork related)! well make sure everythings okay while your gone
	9:59am John from Florham park: @Handy you could always catch it on archives
	10:01am ParUbi: We love you guys in Pittsburgh
	10:04am futurescamp: Milkman is really strange and wonderful, second the recommendation!
	10:05am Barney Grubbs: yeah, Milkman was an excellent read
	10:06am melinda: I know someone who did the same thing with apples growing up in Massachusetts.
	10:07am John from Florham park: @Trouble and talk about how the red Sox suck too:)
	10:08am cccinkc: @KFHP: Did I understand you earlier that emailing up @ wfmu will get our Swag For Life dollars allocated to shows? It's a lot easier for me to email than call while I'm at work to get in the running for fabulous prizes.
	10:10am ParUbi: Using the pledge page allows you to allocate your money to the shows you like. I think you get to pick one page per $10 of pledge.
	10:11am kwhitehead: Whoa! I just won that Valle LP. Thanks so much Trouble and Meghan. And my son just started school in Rhode Island this year. Food and record store tips from RI natives would be much appreciated.
	10:12am The Oscar: @cccinkc You can just make a pledge at the top of the playlist, then select "Bill Me Later" and note that it's part of your swag-for-life :) (Also mornin' all!)
	10:12am Priscilla: Donny Hathaway was a genius
	10:13am cccinkc: @Oscar That makes sense. Thanks!
	10:13am Trouble: @kwhitehead: email me and i will give you a giat list of fab stuff in ri, i am there every couple of months
	10:14am Ike: It's not as good as pledging, but if any of you are already utilizing my ̶s̶i̶n̶i̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ wonderful all-knowing employer anyway, then be sure to go to smile.amazon.com and choose Auricle Communications (a.k.a. WFMU) as the beneficiary. WFMU gets a little cash out of it, and you're not charged extra.
	10:15am kwhitehead: Thx Trouble!. Top shelf DJ and now a travel guide too!
	10:16am Ike: (Of course it's better to get your print books from your local human-operated indie bookstore -- if you have one -- but if you're getting the audiobook of "Milkman" anyway then....)
	10:18am kwhitehead: You can probably check out and stream Milkman from your local library. It's easy and guilt free.
	10:19am JakeGould: @Ike: You read up on the new owners of Barnes and Noble and how they want to get the stores back to their “chain but localized” roots? Interesting read of how brick and mortar bookstores are doing better than ebooks and how Barnes and Noble could help that. www.bloomberg.com... And yes, I remember the old B&N on 18th Street and 5th Avenue. That was a bookstore. Not a mall shop like what they have now.
	10:20am Meghan: Next three prizes up for grabs- Durand Jones and the Indications, Helado Negro and Jamilla Woods! For a pledge of $20 or more puts you in the running to win these prizes, picked up at the top of the hour!
	10:20am Trouble: yes @kwhitehead i listened to milkman via kanopy through my local library.
	10:21am ParUbi: @Trouble-- Kanopy does music too?
	10:21am John from Florham park: @Trouble my library had Kanopy too
	10:22am Trouble: yes@parubi, in that i took out a angela davis lecture that was on cd...
	10:22am happymaan in Atlanta: This is a sexy song
	10:23am Ike: Cool. PLEDGE NOW, YOU FILTHY HIPPIES!!!!!!
	10:24am modern blaze: tired of taxi sex theme on music tv channels
	10:25am modern blaze: typing data? i'm doin' it, Trouble!
	10:27am Uncle Michael: Trouble and Meghan!
	10:28am Ike: (I presume she's talking about WNYU, LOL.)
	10:30am PersistanceOfVision: Killin it this morning.
	10:30am ParUbi: That's me! :D
	10:31am JakeGould: I like WKCR (Columbia University) but their archives and playlists are almost impossible to decipher.
	10:33am melinda: I first pledged due to loneliness too, haha
	10:37am ParUbi: Creative, unique people often feel isolated in this culture. FMU brings them together. <3
	10:38am Meghan: Pledge you lovely creative types!!!
	10:39am Danimal: Sounds like Banheart
	10:40am ParUbi: My first freeform love was WCBN in Ann Arbor. Apparently that was where Ken was a DJ first?
	10:47am Snoochienucci: yes the birds :)
	10:47am John from Florham park: @Parubi as I have gotten older I am so sick of hearing the same crap day after day, I guess that is why I have gravitated towards stations like WFMU where the DJs play great music and give their political opinions at times and for the most part a great chat board
	10:47am ParUbi: Sea birds?
	10:48am Snoochienucci: man i wish i was French just to hear the birds
	10:51am Doug in JC: Hey, what happened to the mascot contest this year?
	10:51am Ike: So wait, we're WFMU's sugar daddies? ROTFL.
	10:56am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Anyone else experiencing a vague feeling of not being part of the excitement due to making monthly recurring donations? I guess that's what "the kidz" call FOMO.
	11:00am Doug in JC: It's not Fear of Missing Out if you're actually missing out
	11:04am Handy Haversack: Well, that was a very depressing hour-long meeting. I am pledging some SFL money to Trouble right now to feel a little bit better about the way of the world. There are lights dimming everywhere. We owe it to the ones that illuminate our way to keep them burning. Thanks for all you do, Trouble and WFMU.
	11:07am Snoochienucci: @Handy guessing the meeting wasnt spork related?
	11:10am Handy Haversack: @Snoochie, no. Sporks are a pure and rare thing. I am glad that meeting did not touch on them. That was an hour of the way of all the world -- down the toilet of life. Ugh. I gotta get my mood back up.
	11:12am Meghan: The last three amazing prizes up for grabs for the last hour- Lee Fields and the Expressions, Alice Cohen and the Channel 14 Weather Team and Sudan Archives! Pledge now!
	11:12am Handy Haversack: @Itzall -- I call or pledge online and say "aim $X of my SFL pledge to this show" -- I think that's what Joe said to do so that you can participate in the whirl and dance of Marathon. And be in the running for prizes.
	11:13am Thursday Fernworthy: MUCH LOVE to Alice and BJTV
	11:13am Marley P. Dogg: Great show today! Pledge people!
	11:15am Meghan: Come on people! we have less than $2000 for Trouble to make her goal!!!! Donate NOW!
	11:15am Snoochienucci: @Handy sorry to hear, Troubles birds always cheer me up when im having a rough day!
	11:15am Matthew (From London): Make it rain!
	11:17am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Handy Haversack, I think, for me at least, it would be much more gratifying to pull my monthly tythe (!) and wait for them to come crawling back... like, knocking on my door, in person. WITH baked goods and station swag, of course.
	11:17am cuteCloud: it rains luv <3
	11:18am Handy Haversack: Doing better already, @Snoochie. The modern world sounds better when you hear it through the Modern World, if you know what I mean. And Kate heard the acknowledgment of our pledge before she left home for a meeting, which cheered HER up, which cheered ME up. Also, you know, raining love and all. Weather weather weather. @Itzall: It might work!
	11:19am Crei6hton: Morning
	11:20am Snoochienucci: @Handy thats good to hear. and yes i think ive heard your guys pledges just about every show this week! Hope you both are doing well :)
	11:22am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Snoochie! Means a lot, friend. We're good. Catching a show tonight, one band we know well and another that we found on WFMU and like a lot already. Cheap tickets, good friends, loud noise! Things could ALWAYS be worse!
	11:23am kwhitehead: This Annette Peacock LP is a real stunner from beginning to end and to this day one of my most loved Goodwill finds.
	11:24am queems: HELL YES this IS how we do it
	11:25am ifeelfatnsassy: Ah! I saw Montell at a basketball halftime show earlier this year. He did the anthem, too. Dude still has it. Silky af.
	11:26am Marley P. Dogg: Montell!!!!!! How can you not pledge for this!!!!
	11:26am Handy Haversack: QUEEMS!
	11:26am P-90: That Peacock album IS a classic.
	11:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Great song? Or THE GREATEST SONG??
	11:27am Snoochienucci: @Handy nice! a little loud noise can always alter the mood haha. Got a jam sesh myself later!
	11:31am tim from champaign (now washington): The DJ Drug Closet is not a luxury. It's a necessity.
	11:34am Asheville Jon: hey, I grew up in the Allentown area too! woo hoo. and screw the billy joel song!
	11:34am steveo: ok jon but it sounds like you didnt' stay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
	11:35am sphere: i heard me mentioned on air! WOO!
	11:36am TomDash: Hey I’M from Allentown! Ha - great show Trouble & Meghan - good luck hitting your goal!
	11:36am Snoochienucci: The Sphere coming thru!
	11:36am Asheville Jon: hey Tom Dash, how's it going?
	11:37am ParUbi: That's like Zhuangzi's gnarled tree! Cool, I'll have to find that book.
	11:38am P-90: How to Do Nothing is one of the most important books of 2019. Recommended.
	11:38am Thursday Fernworthy: YessssssssAlice
	11:38am ?: isn't that called, intrinsic worth?
	11:39am Handy Haversack: And author interviewed on Techtonic last summer: www.wfmu.org...
	11:39am Meghan: Tom, I lived in Emmaus! my brother graduated from Emmaus High, we moved before I had the chance
	11:39am Asheville Jon: you're right steveo, i fell in love with an uptown girl and moved out
	11:39am Asheville Jon: Hey Meghan, I went to Emmaus HS
	11:40am The Oscar: No lie: if it wasn't for the WFMU stream, I don't know if I could have survived the transition from record store clerk to office drone. The way I see it, you guys are essential to my paycheck!
	11:40am steveo: hah good Jon, good
	11:40am ParUbi: @?-- that's one way of thinking about it. Some things have value for their own sakes, not instrumentally.
	11:40am Trouble: yes@parubi, she references that!
	11:42am steveo: I heard about How to Do Nothing from Faye a couple of weeks ago and am currently number 229 out of 253 holds at the brooklyn public library; fortunately there are 79 copies.
	11:42am Meghan: Pledge on.... Pledgin' on!
	11:42am TomDash: Hey Asheville John - doing good, in full marathon mode and digging my Thursday AM Trouble-tune in ritual..oh and I went to Allen HS!
	11:43am ParUbi: Pro-tip: Don't forget to donate to the side streams like "Give the Drummer Radio" or "Sheena's Jungle Room" too. The odds for getting prizes can be very high on those streams, and they need your support.
	11:46am Meghan: Less than $1500 to go! Show your support and donate NOW!
	11:49am Handy Haversack: As Kelly Link might say, Get in Trouble -- by pledging to the magic of free form!
	11:49am Ike: Don't wait, don't procrastinate, DO IT NOW! Don't wait for the perfect prize. There's no perfect prize. That's an illusion. Pledge now! GET IT OVER WITH! If you keep putting it off and waiting, suddenly it'll all be over and you won't have pledged. You can pledge now and pay later -- no need to pay now!
	11:50am TomDash: Hey Meghan. Small world - lots of family friends from Emmaus! Left Allentown in late 80s...good luck guys!!! Pledge pledge pledge!!!
	11:50am Priscilla: Warren dropped out :-(
	11:52am The Oscar: As a lifelong Masshole fake Boston accents in movies are THE WORST, especially post-Departed.
	11:53am ParUbi: Damnit, I was really pulling for Warren. :(
	11:53am tim from champaign (now washington): @Priscilla - Damn! That's really disappointing.
	11:53am steveo: Priscilla :(
	11:53am Handy Haversack: I lived in Providence one summer and worked in a cafe. Most confusing accent issue was when an older guy asked me to make him a cabinet.
	11:53am Barney Grubbs: @Handy, if you ever find yourself up in Easthampton, Mass, Kelly Link & Gavin Grant have an excellent little bookstore called Book Moon
	11:54am AstralDandylion: Cookie puss!
	11:54am Handy Haversack: @Barney -- thanks! That might very well happen this spring/summer!
	11:54am P-90: The Standard Actorish Off-the-Shelf Bahston Accent
	11:54am Mike Wolf: so proud to make my first-ever swag-4-life donation via this show
	11:54am steveo: here's my supervisor, he'll help you!
	11:54am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: HEY!!!
	11:55am The Oscar: Also living in Boston, though, at least we get to hang onto Liz for another few years :)
	11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe Liz's smarts can get her a Supreme Court position in the near future.
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Great show, Trouble! Thanks to you and Meghan!
	11:57am The Oscar: @Barney/Handy Also in western Mass is the Montague Book Mill, which may be my favorite bookstore in the world. A huge converted mill filled with used books, plus a gallery, two restaurants, and a record shop!
	11:58am Priscilla: Thank you Trouble! You make me happy!
	11:58am Handy Haversack: @The Oscar -- I have been there! Very cool place! Hoping to visit it again this spring/summer.
	11:59am Chi Bill: Cooky Puss! Politically incorrect but as entertaining as the 1st time heard. Y'all got my attention from across the floor, thanks. SUPPORT WFMU everyone, they'll probably accept cooky crumbs!
	11:59am steveo: i'm down to 228 already!
	12:00pm Barney Grubbs: @Oscar: Thanks for the tip! I don't make it that far north too often, but I will have to try it some time. (Odyssey in South Hadley is a nice book shop too)
	12:00pm P-90: Thanks, Trouble and Meghan. And congratulations !
	12:00pm Handy Haversack: De-troit City!

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

	10:13am Trouble: @kwhitehead: email me and i will give you a giat list of fab stuff in ri, i am there every couple of months
	10:14am Ike: It's not as good as pledging, but if any of you are already utilizing my ̶s̶i̶n̶i̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ wonderful all-knowing employer anyway, then be sure to go to smile.amazon.com and choose Auricle Communications (a.k.a. WFMU) as the beneficiary. WFMU gets a little cash out of it, and you're not charged extra.
	10:15am kwhitehead: Thx Trouble!. Top shelf DJ and now a travel guide too!
	10:16am Ike: (Of course it's better to get your print books from your local human-operated indie bookstore -- if you have one -- but if you're getting the audiobook of "Milkman" anyway then....)
	10:18am kwhitehead: You can probably check out and stream Milkman from your local library. It's easy and guilt free.
	10:19am JakeGould: @Ike: You read up on the new owners of Barnes and Noble and how they want to get the stores back to their “chain but localized” roots? Interesting read of how brick and mortar bookstores are doing better than ebooks and how Barnes and Noble could help that. www.bloomberg.com... And yes, I remember the old B&N on 18th Street and 5th Avenue. That was a bookstore. Not a mall shop like what they have now.
	10:20am Meghan: Next three prizes up for grabs- Durand Jones and the Indications, Helado Negro and Jamilla Woods! For a pledge of $20 or more puts you in the running to win these prizes, picked up at the top of the hour!
	10:20am Trouble: yes @kwhitehead i listened to milkman via kanopy through my local library.
	10:21am ParUbi: @Trouble-- Kanopy does music too?
	10:21am John from Florham park: @Trouble my library had Kanopy too
	10:22am Trouble: yes@parubi, in that i took out a angela davis lecture that was on cd...
	10:22am happymaan in Atlanta: This is a sexy song
	10:23am Ike: Cool. PLEDGE NOW, YOU FILTHY HIPPIES!!!!!!
	10:24am modern blaze: tired of taxi sex theme on music tv channels
	10:25am modern blaze: typing data? i'm doin' it, Trouble!
	10:27am Uncle Michael: Trouble and Meghan!
	10:28am Ike: (I presume she's talking about WNYU, LOL.)
	10:30am PersistanceOfVision: Killin it this morning.
	10:30am ParUbi: That's me! :D
	10:31am JakeGould: I like WKCR (Columbia University) but their archives and playlists are almost impossible to decipher.
	10:33am melinda: I first pledged due to loneliness too, haha
	10:37am ParUbi: Creative, unique people often feel isolated in this culture. FMU brings them together. <3
	10:38am Meghan: Pledge you lovely creative types!!!
	10:39am Danimal: Sounds like Banheart
	10:40am ParUbi: My first freeform love was WCBN in Ann Arbor. Apparently that was where Ken was a DJ first?
	10:47am Snoochienucci: yes the birds :)
	10:47am John from Florham park: @Parubi as I have gotten older I am so sick of hearing the same crap day after day, I guess that is why I have gravitated towards stations like WFMU where the DJs play great music and give their political opinions at times and for the most part a great chat board
	10:47am ParUbi: Sea birds?
	10:48am Snoochienucci: man i wish i was French just to hear the birds
	10:51am Doug in JC: Hey, what happened to the mascot contest this year?
	10:51am Ike: So wait, we're WFMU's sugar daddies? ROTFL.
	10:56am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Anyone else experiencing a vague feeling of not being part of the excitement due to making monthly recurring donations? I guess that's what "the kidz" call FOMO.
	11:00am Doug in JC: It's not Fear of Missing Out if you're actually missing out
	11:04am Handy Haversack: Well, that was a very depressing hour-long meeting. I am pledging some SFL money to Trouble right now to feel a little bit better about the way of the world. There are lights dimming everywhere. We owe it to the ones that illuminate our way to keep them burning. Thanks for all you do, Trouble and WFMU.
	11:07am Snoochienucci: @Handy guessing the meeting wasnt spork related?
	11:10am Handy Haversack: @Snoochie, no. Sporks are a pure and rare thing. I am glad that meeting did not touch on them. That was an hour of the way of all the world -- down the toilet of life. Ugh. I gotta get my mood back up.
	11:12am Meghan: The last three amazing prizes up for grabs for the last hour- Lee Fields and the Expressions, Alice Cohen and the Channel 14 Weather Team and Sudan Archives! Pledge now!
	11:12am Handy Haversack: @Itzall -- I call or pledge online and say "aim $X of my SFL pledge to this show" -- I think that's what Joe said to do so that you can participate in the whirl and dance of Marathon. And be in the running for prizes.
	11:13am Thursday Fernworthy: MUCH LOVE to Alice and BJTV
	11:13am Marley P. Dogg: Great show today! Pledge people!
	11:15am Meghan: Come on people! we have less than $2000 for Trouble to make her goal!!!! Donate NOW!
	11:15am Snoochienucci: @Handy sorry to hear, Troubles birds always cheer me up when im having a rough day!
	11:15am Matthew (From London): Make it rain!
	11:17am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Handy Haversack, I think, for me at least, it would be much more gratifying to pull my monthly tythe (!) and wait for them to come crawling back... like, knocking on my door, in person. WITH baked goods and station swag, of course.
	11:17am cuteCloud: it rains luv <3
	11:18am Handy Haversack: Doing better already, @Snoochie. The modern world sounds better when you hear it through the Modern World, if you know what I mean. And Kate heard the acknowledgment of our pledge before she left home for a meeting, which cheered HER up, which cheered ME up. Also, you know, raining love and all. Weather weather weather. @Itzall: It might work!
	11:19am Crei6hton: Morning
	11:20am Snoochienucci: @Handy thats good to hear. and yes i think ive heard your guys pledges just about every show this week! Hope you both are doing well :)
	11:22am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Snoochie! Means a lot, friend. We're good. Catching a show tonight, one band we know well and another that we found on WFMU and like a lot already. Cheap tickets, good friends, loud noise! Things could ALWAYS be worse!
	11:23am kwhitehead: This Annette Peacock LP is a real stunner from beginning to end and to this day one of my most loved Goodwill finds.
	11:24am queems: HELL YES this IS how we do it
	11:25am ifeelfatnsassy: Ah! I saw Montell at a basketball halftime show earlier this year. He did the anthem, too. Dude still has it. Silky af.
	11:26am Marley P. Dogg: Montell!!!!!! How can you not pledge for this!!!!
	11:26am Handy Haversack: QUEEMS!
	11:26am P-90: That Peacock album IS a classic.
	11:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Great song? Or THE GREATEST SONG??
	11:27am Snoochienucci: @Handy nice! a little loud noise can always alter the mood haha. Got a jam sesh myself later!
	11:31am tim from champaign (now washington): The DJ Drug Closet is not a luxury. It's a necessity.
	11:34am Asheville Jon: hey, I grew up in the Allentown area too! woo hoo. and screw the billy joel song!
	11:34am steveo: ok jon but it sounds like you didnt' stay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
	11:35am sphere: i heard me mentioned on air! WOO!
	11:36am TomDash: Hey I’M from Allentown! Ha - great show Trouble & Meghan - good luck hitting your goal!
	11:36am Snoochienucci: The Sphere coming thru!
	11:36am Asheville Jon: hey Tom Dash, how's it going?
	11:37am ParUbi: That's like Zhuangzi's gnarled tree! Cool, I'll have to find that book.
	11:38am P-90: How to Do Nothing is one of the most important books of 2019. Recommended.
	11:38am Thursday Fernworthy: YessssssssAlice
	11:38am ?: isn't that called, intrinsic worth?
	11:39am Handy Haversack: And author interviewed on Techtonic last summer: www.wfmu.org...
	11:39am Meghan: Tom, I lived in Emmaus! my brother graduated from Emmaus High, we moved before I had the chance
	11:39am Asheville Jon: you're right steveo, i fell in love with an uptown girl and moved out
	11:39am Asheville Jon: Hey Meghan, I went to Emmaus HS
	11:40am The Oscar: No lie: if it wasn't for the WFMU stream, I don't know if I could have survived the transition from record store clerk to office drone. The way I see it, you guys are essential to my paycheck!
	11:40am steveo: hah good Jon, good
	11:40am ParUbi: @?-- that's one way of thinking about it. Some things have value for their own sakes, not instrumentally.
	11:40am Trouble: yes@parubi, she references that!
	11:42am steveo: I heard about How to Do Nothing from Faye a couple of weeks ago and am currently number 229 out of 253 holds at the brooklyn public library; fortunately there are 79 copies.
	11:42am Meghan: Pledge on.... Pledgin' on!
	11:42am TomDash: Hey Asheville John - doing good, in full marathon mode and digging my Thursday AM Trouble-tune in ritual..oh and I went to Allen HS!
	11:43am ParUbi: Pro-tip: Don't forget to donate to the side streams like "Give the Drummer Radio" or "Sheena's Jungle Room" too. The odds for getting prizes can be very high on those streams, and they need your support.
	11:46am Meghan: Less than $1500 to go! Show your support and donate NOW!
	11:49am Handy Haversack: As Kelly Link might say, Get in Trouble -- by pledging to the magic of free form!
	11:49am Ike: Don't wait, don't procrastinate, DO IT NOW! Don't wait for the perfect prize. There's no perfect prize. That's an illusion. Pledge now! GET IT OVER WITH! If you keep putting it off and waiting, suddenly it'll all be over and you won't have pledged. You can pledge now and pay later -- no need to pay now!
	11:50am TomDash: Hey Meghan. Small world - lots of family friends from Emmaus! Left Allentown in late 80s...good luck guys!!! Pledge pledge pledge!!!
	11:50am Priscilla: Warren dropped out :-(
	11:52am The Oscar: As a lifelong Masshole fake Boston accents in movies are THE WORST, especially post-Departed.
	11:53am ParUbi: Damnit, I was really pulling for Warren. :(
	11:53am tim from champaign (now washington): @Priscilla - Damn! That's really disappointing.
	11:53am steveo: Priscilla :(
	11:53am Handy Haversack: I lived in Providence one summer and worked in a cafe. Most confusing accent issue was when an older guy asked me to make him a cabinet.
	11:53am Barney Grubbs: @Handy, if you ever find yourself up in Easthampton, Mass, Kelly Link & Gavin Grant have an excellent little bookstore called Book Moon
	11:54am AstralDandylion: Cookie puss!
	11:54am Handy Haversack: @Barney -- thanks! That might very well happen this spring/summer!
	11:54am P-90: The Standard Actorish Off-the-Shelf Bahston Accent
	11:54am Mike Wolf: so proud to make my first-ever swag-4-life donation via this show
	11:54am steveo: here's my supervisor, he'll help you!
	11:54am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: HEY!!!
	11:55am The Oscar: Also living in Boston, though, at least we get to hang onto Liz for another few years :)
	11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe Liz's smarts can get her a Supreme Court position in the near future.
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Great show, Trouble! Thanks to you and Meghan!
	11:57am The Oscar: @Barney/Handy Also in western Mass is the Montague Book Mill, which may be my favorite bookstore in the world. A huge converted mill filled with used books, plus a gallery, two restaurants, and a record shop!
	11:58am Priscilla: Thank you Trouble! You make me happy!
	11:58am Handy Haversack: @The Oscar -- I have been there! Very cool place! Hoping to visit it again this spring/summer.
	11:59am Chi Bill: Cooky Puss! Politically incorrect but as entertaining as the 1st time heard. Y'all got my attention from across the floor, thanks. SUPPORT WFMU everyone, they'll probably accept cooky crumbs!
	11:59am steveo: i'm down to 228 already!
	12:00pm Barney Grubbs: @Oscar: Thanks for the tip! I don't make it that far north too often, but I will have to try it some time. (Odyssey in South Hadley is a nice book shop too)
	12:00pm P-90: Thanks, Trouble and Meghan. And congratulations !
	12:00pm Handy Haversack: De-troit City!
