OK, so I still don't know how to split the Swag for Life, spread it around (you may have mentioned it on air, being at work I miss things...). Is there some sort of link? (suppose it doesn't really matter that much, the money is going to the station, but it takes some of the fun out of the marathon, drawings for prizes, that stuff).

I am pretty idealistic about metal people, but their audience is the worst. Period.
I did see my husband's nephew and grandnephew there, it was pretty funny. They're both 5'5" and everyone there was 7 feet tall.

I represented in spirit earlier.

Anyway, after parking 1/4 mile away, and the 04 minute wait and the metal detector, and the club being oversold, we saw exactly 2.5 songs of Carcasses. We thought we saw the top of their heads, but weren't sure. Testament were excellent, but we were over it.

@doctorjazz: here's the salient bit --
Here's how it works online:
1. Visit wfmu.org/pledge
2. Enter the amount of your annual pledge total that you want to use up, and paradoxically, choose "One-time" and NOT "Per Month"
3. Choose the shows you want to credit from the drop-down menu and be sure to hit the + button <<-- this is key; do it for each show.
4. When you get to the end of the pledge process, choose "Send me a bill" as your payment option (our credit card processor already has your card info so no need to re-enter it)
