What a summer that was. It's still going, you say? Fine, but it's the Fall Fundraising Drive at CHIRP Radio, where I've been putting a little show called The Liquid Diet out into the world for over a decade now. What CHIRP affords myself is a place to share my favorite music with you, but it also affords Chicago's independent music and culture community a mouthpiece, a place for people to get their art out into a world that often tries too hard and too often to push them out. Well, we're on the radio dial and we don't see ourselves moving from 107.1FM any time soon. So, if you like what you hear, or what we do, please throw a little bit our way. We're eternally grateful for your kindness, and there are some great thank-you gifts in the chamber for you to enjoy, as well. Thanks for listening, and cheers.
