Smackie,

I will try to listen in more often. Tremendous post. Sorry to be so late coming in.

Looking forward to getting the kids in bed, making a stiff drink, putting on the headphones, and listening to Smackie's playlist.

Very cool how the addition of one poster can change the dynamic of TuneTown chat. A most fun & interesting session last night. Glad I was part of it.

Crap----missed it. Looks like I'll have to wait till next Friday for my weekly Tune Town fix.

Dan Vogel · Post by **Dan Vogel** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 12:56 pm

Is chat free? Are Fridays the chat days and what time is it? I doubt that I have much time to do it anyway but you never know. Thanks.

I wish it was, Dan. Unfortunately, lack of sponsorship demands that a nominal fee be collected from the listenership to offset operating expenses. I think you'll find it it to be extremely reasonable and well worth the cost. PM me and I'll provide the details, along with the address where payment can be remitted.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Fri Jul 13, 2012 3:44 pm

The rates are as follows (per month):

Go Coogs' Show - $29.99
Smackie's Tune Town - $19.99
BSmack Radio - $15.99
Mgo Radio - I pay you $9.99

Dan, register now and I'll hook you up with our exclusive GOLD CLUB MEMBERSHIP free for one month. You'll enjoy access to our *PREMIER* content, such as hit singles from Neon Trees, 6 hour Pink Floyd bootlegs, Toddowen's lonely meltdowns and Van's Dear Penthouse musings, inspired by Smackie and mamamustanger.

Smackie Chan · Post by **Smackie Chan** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:35 pm

Due to prior commitments, I will be unable to host a show tonight. I've been in contact with Mgo, BSmack, Screw Michigan, GoCoogs, Martyred, and Wolfman to see if any of them are available to spin this evening.

While the fees indicated by Mgo are the "standard" rates, a number of financial aid options are available. We understand times are tough, and want to ensure even those of modest means are able to enjoy the offerings. In some cases, rate reductions are available to those who may find it difficult to come up with the standard fees. In such cases, one's ability to pay is taken into consideration, and fees are adjusted based on a sliding scale.

The wealthier among us (I'm looking at YOU, Screwy), of course, must pony up the full amount. In other cases, we've partnered with charitable organizations and private industry to help those who may need it. For example, Chick-fil-A subsidizes Papa Willie's subscription, while Van's fees are generously, graciously, and yes, perhaps fraudulently, covered by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Dan, from what I've been able to gather from reading your posts, you may be in a bit of a cash flow pinch. In these somewhat desperate economic times, we understand many among us are having trouble making ends meet, often due to wages and salaries that may not be commensurate with one's skill set. I get the feeling this may be the situation in which you find yourself. But please, don't let financial hardship be the reason you deprive yourself of economical quality entertainment. Help is out there. All you need to do is ask. Counselors are standing by.

Yes, it's been received. Processing was delayed by the power issues we experienced here a couple weeks ago, but your next statement should reflect that you're paid in full.

Glad you brought this up, Mgo. We offer subscription packages not only for those who may need help, but also for those who can afford to pay premium rates in exchange for valuable perks (sup, Otis?). Mgo mentioned what is available to our GOLD CLUB MEMBERS, and there is also a PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP package available, which includes a handsome & stylish T-shirt emblazoned with the logo from your favorite T1B chat radio program, and we'll also throw in the CD box set from Seasons 1 & 2 of The Best of TuneTown. Supplies are limited, so act fast to ensure your T-shirt is available in your size and favorite color! All major credit cards are accepted, which, of course, means Discover is not. This is a limited-time offer, so don't delay!

How could I forget about the t-shirts? There are currently three different styles available for Mgo Radio.

Unfortunately, due to high demand, we only have XXXL available. I'm sure this won't be a problem for many of you.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Fri Jul 13, 2012 6:29 pm

I mean, just imagine Cinder's toofless maw stretched wide across your bowling ball belly as you slam your up-sized baconator combo meal, proudly advertising T1B radio to the masses. You'll have to beat the hotties off with a stick, instead of beating off your own stick for a change.
