Pledge Drive Challenge!!!

Here at Bean Up The Nose Art, we're great big fans of radio:  the medium through which you get to imagine your own pictures as you listen.  For example, there's not really a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than listening to a Giants game (GO GIANTS!!!!) on KNBR while you're drinking coffee, eating some chocolate, and working away on a new art project.

While Bean Up The Nose Art is up on Whidbey Island, KUOW -- Seattle's terrific public radio station -- is on pretty much 24/7.   And our very favorite show is "The Vinyl Cafe" -- most easily described as a Canadian "A Prairie Home Companion."  But better.  For one thing, the terrific host Stuart McLean WRITES BACK when you send him fan mail.  (Which we know from personal experience. And sorry, Garrison Keillor . . . we also know that you don't.)

So . . . in celebration of Bean Up The Nose Art's website launch, and in recognition of all the hours we've spent listening to KUOW while working on art, Bean Up The Nose Art now throws down to you this PLEDGE DRIVE CHALLENGE!!!!  

Are you ready?  

Here's how it works.

During the noon hour this Sunday, October 10 -- while "The Vinyl Cafe" airs -- Bean Up The Nose Art will match every dollar pledged (up to $1,000).   You can post here

(wait til Sunday at noon to take advantage of the challenge money!) or call in on Sunday:  866-677-5869, or 206-543-9595. 

We hope you'll play!!!!
