Probably should have put these out in print earlier, but here they are.

$20 - First Ave Halloween Party Tickets! Two of 'em, plus a Radio K Music Lovers Card.

$60 - A Rock and Roll Over "guilty pleasure" vinyl pick from my personal collection. There's stuff like Motley Crue, Kenny Rogers, Nigel Olsson, The Godfather, and something called "Vibes on Velvet." Plenty of choices! Plus, the $20 prizes AND a Radio K 2009 Music Sampler.

$120 ($10/month) - TWO RnRO guilty pleasure vinyl picks! Plus the Radio K prizes AND a CD or vinyl from the Radio K playlist. There's some NEAT stuff in there. You may have to fight me for it, actually.

$240 ($20/month) - All of the previous PLUS I WILL WRITE YOU A SONG. This could be on any topic you want. In any style you want. It could be a cover! It could not! Whatever you want! These make great birthday presents, folks. PLUS Radio K memorabilia and more gear.

$480 ($40/month) - I WILL COVER YOU AN ALBUM BACK-TO-BACK. I already have one to do - "Falco 3" for Liz. Isn't this awesome? This is like once in a lifetime, people. Mark Mallman is gonna help with Liz's project; who will help with yours? Plus all of the previous plus a Radio K day sponsorship, good for THREE personal announcements read on Radio K! Great for birthdays and whatever you want.

So kick up them dimes, people. Isn't this sweet as hell???
