Fund Drive Wednesday, October 10

Wednesday night from 8 – 9 PM is your opportunity to support Bibliocracy Radio and KPFK 90.7 FM.  Tune in for a special live one-hour show celebrating community, books and book culture in Southern California.  I will be joined by three special guests talking about their work and helping me pitch.  And Bibliocracy will offer a terrific thank-you gift by way of a pledge premium, at the $100 donation level. 

Special guests:  Roz Helfand, of Literature for Life.  Tom Lutz, editor of the Los Angeles Review of Books.  Erich Origen, co-author with Gan Golan of the parodic masterpieces Goodnight, Bush, The Adventures of Unemployed Man and, now, Don’t Let the Republican Drive the Bus.

Pledge tonight and receive the following books as your thank you for supporting the station.  Note that a pledge at any level makes you a voting member.
