Listener comments!
	2:03pm Bliss: Hey-Ho
	2:03pm Alex In Illinois: Howdy
	2:04pm Carmichael: Hello, Friendship Society members.
	2:08pm Bliss: It's great, Kenzo.
	2:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yerknow Nietzsche - this Superman theme is really unoriginal & irrelevant - & Shakespeare's full of cliches...
	2:12pm listener james from westwood: in and out today ... got a date w/ the dmv shortly but hope to catch the latter third!
	2:13pm Bliss: I disagree that it lacks originality, and I could write 10,000 words right now explaining why.
	2:15pm Bliss: We must continue to let go and re-sensitize.
	2:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): expectations
	2:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): How should everything be different?
	2:25pm Carmichael: Expectations of self. Can they ever be fully realized?
	2:25pm Doug S.: I folded your playlist into an origami swan.
	2:26pm Rich in Washington: one of the beautiful/tragic things about improvised artforms is that it can come out completely transcendent or completely fall apart, or anywhere in between. And what might seem like a failure to one person on the receiving end can be sublime to another. Expectations can be one of the worst things to bring into a performance. That and a goddamn cell phone.
	2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - the Program is @ once multi-media, mashup/collage, & FreeForm & 'intereactive' - but also has elements of Minimalism ; - a theme or intent seems to be in John Cage territory of making it about Audition - in literal etymological sense of being about the Listening - of how listening is happening - which is about self-examination to some extent - which is of course challenging. - This is counter to what most of Entertainment is usually about (& of course the Commercial element is usually in play - Time is Money too...) : Do anything - but don't leave leave our attention alone w/ just ourselves...
	2:28pm possibilitywaves: the inner child sees all radio as fascinating and deeply communicative! I will always listen at another time, any possible time! for some, myself included, who are busy/not always connected, this is their one and only radio show!!
	2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - no - don't Change it! This Program has to be now - Now - NOW!
	2:32pm Bliss: I'm not smart. I like it. Yo, Brothers Johnson.
	2:33pm Rich in Washington: That Strawberry 23 loop was my ringtone for so long I keep thinking someone's calling me. No one calls anyone anymore.
	2:34pm Bliss: Hi, Rich.
	2:36pm Rich in Washington: Hiya, Bliss!
	2:42pm Bliss: You will become a pile of runes.
	2:43pm baconfat: charlottesville listener emails from 11 minutes ago: "The 2-4pm Wed slot is being trashed and debased by this sophomoric narcissistic jerk whose audio-art abilities are pathetic, trite, cliched, and either sonicly clumsy and jarring, or quietly stupid and puling. PS - get Dominic back; he is one of the finest rock dj's anywhere" sadly, dominic's not coming back. but he does enjoy the heck out of ken's last ever. Via @bcnft twitter.com... : "and while i appreciate the support and calls for my return, i honestly believe ken takes radio art to a much higher plane that i ever could."
	2:46pm pacific standard simon: I went to a garden party...
	2:47pm possibilitywaves: pacific standard simon!! that must have been wonderful... i was at a garden yesterday early morning with fog , rabbits, and squirrels.
	2:49pm pacific standard simon: ...to reminisce with my old friends...
	2:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bliss: That is great poetry - also: When first getting into Runes (Norse divination), I just wrote them on card-paper & cut them out (rather than having actual 3D stones or such-like). - A result was that when you Threw them - they would sometimes stand up straight or make little tent-like formations when they landed. - Since Runes have different meanings if Inverted (or, I reasoned, just on their Sides) - this gave interesting Meanings of Runes in formation ~ realtion to each other (Runes are also Letters)...
	2:49pm Rich in Washington: Ah, the open-mindedness of college radio! Briefly involved with my local college radio station. I shoulda took up sniffing glue instead. Really infuriating, closed-minded people.
	2:51pm pacific standard simon: If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck
	2:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's a Narcissist (too self-involved). Who wants you to call & be the Program.
	2:53pm Bliss: Give away the ending to a story.
	2:55pm possibilitywaves: story a to ending the away, give!
	2:57pm possibilitywaves: Oh! If I don't call then there might not be a second caller to win the tickets. :S : )
	2:58pm pacific standard simon: I don't want tickets -- I hear that they explode.
	2:58pm possibilitywaves: it seems like people have called, yay : )
	2:59pm pacific standard simon: Texting For Dollars is trying to find me.
	3:03pm Bliss: Twilighter, Beloved Binge, Co., Shannon Whitworth, Contemporary Art Museum (CAM), Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau, Last Year’s Men, Ironing Board Sam, Purling Hiss, Oblivians, Deep South, the Bar, Airtype, Wichita Falls, Bitter Resolve, Golden Void, ASG, Five Star, Melissa Swingle, Malcolm Holcombe, Water Liars, The Shilohs, Fletcher Opera Theater, Nathan Bowles, Angel Olsen, Grouper , Etcetera.
	3:06pm Bob_A_Loo_Bop: wait, what's the phone number again?

	3:47pm baconfat: fun fact: the current caller is the singer of a relatively not-famous drag city band.
	3:47pm possibilitywaves: I am excited about the golden ratio moment with pinback and alan! there are always lots of these, but, they are as memorable as coming across new forest clearings, little streams, calm lakes!!
	3:48pm steve: i cant wait for the end of summer! hoodies, big winter jackets, long nights
	3:51pm dc waters: I'll remember to do nothing next time.
	3:53pm fred: Ugh, a different time slot would probably be out of my listening hours. The archives would get my regular visit
