it’s the most funderful time of the year…

First off, big thanks to our guests for our E-town ward 8 municipal election shows, Duane Goodstriker, Ben Henderson , and Sheila McKay. We laughed, we cried (I did, a little, almost) and I think we all learned something too. Congrats to all those who ran, and voted. Let’s keep working to make the Big E an even better place to be.

Of course, it is also once again time for CJSR FM 88.5′s annual Fundrive. If you value independent, campus and community radio, that plays new music, Canadian music, and covers issues that you wouldn’t otherwise hear about, I implore you to dial and donate. Fundrive accounts for about 45% of our annual budget, and runs until Nov. 6th. So call 780-492-2577(CJSR) or donate online at cjsr.com.

We have a wicked scaaarrrrry (that’s scary not scarry, well possibly that too) Halloween fundrive show lined up for tonight at midnight. There’ll be prizes, candy, pumpkin carving, and more of the usual mix of antics and profundity that Liquid Chatter is famous for.

Once again, I’d like to thank all of our listeners, callers, guests, and well wishers for helping us do what we do, and get better at it.

Electile Dysfunction

Is that even a word? Regardless, tonight at midnight (MDT) our guests on Liquid Chatter will be Duane Goodstriker and Ben Henderson. They are candidates running for city councillor in Ward 8 in the Big E’s municipal election. Unfortunatelty the other candidates; Lori Jeffery-Heaney, Sheila McKay, and Hana Razga have yet to reply. Nevertheless, it should be an interesting and informative show.

Hopefully there will be a better turnout for the actual election. Last time, in 2007, only around 27% of eligible voters cast their ballots. What people should realize is that a municipal government can make or break a city. They deal with important issues that affect us right where we live on a day to day basis.

So once again, Fiona and I invite you to tune in to 88.5 FM or www.cjsr.com, and phone us at 780 492 2577(CJSR) ext.1. Remember, in more ways than one, you make the call.

With Love,
