Funding drive
There are only three more days to pre-pledge and have your name entered into a draw for a stack of CDs reserved exclusively for those who are proactive and awesome that way (I will be drawing separate stacks for each of the two funding drive shows I'm doing as well, for a total of 3 stacks of giveaways).

If you get an automated phone call saying you've won Air Miles points, just hang up, it's a fraud. I got the call and did hang up on it (I did not press "1"), but wrote to Air Miles to ask whether it was legit or not. Apparently it's not as this was their response:
Many of our Collectors across the country have reported this to us, and I thank you ( Read more... )
