Making Contact Schedule on Free Radio Gainesville (Heard Sundays at 6pm)

Sunday, June 7th - Ties That Bind: The ACLU & Big Tobacco - New information has surfaced about longstanding ties between the cigarette industry and the American Civil Liverties Union. Sunday, June 14th - Independent Politics and Public Trust - As corporate interests continue to erode democracy in the United States, lavishing Democrats and Republicans alike with campaign contributions and plush private sector jobs, independent political parties are organizing to restructure government and the electoral system. Sunday, June 21st - The Force of Law - You'll hear from parents and others who are fighting back against a pattern of violence and misconduct at law enforcement agencies across the US.

All "Making Contact" tapes are donated to the Civic Media Center & Library after broadcast, so in case you miss an episode, head down to the CMC (1021 W. University Avenue) for a membership to check out the tape (hours are from Tuesday - Saturday; Noon - 7:30pm). Memberships cost $10-20 per year and gives the privilege of checking out any of their books, audio or videotapes. You also get their newsletter and the satisfaction of knowing that you're supporting a grassroots alternative media source. And, hell, we really like the CMC.

REMINDER: Band Drop-Off Box at Hyde 'n Zeke's

We have new way to get music in to our hot little hands. If you are in a band or have music that you want to donate to the station, there is a "Free Radio Gainesville Drop-Off Box" located at Hyde & Zeke's Records in the UF Plaza across from the University of Florida campus (the same plaza as University Copy Center and the Birkenstock Store).

We thought that this would be a logical way for bands to give us copies of their music. If you are in a band and you sell music to Hyde & Zeke's, why not drop a copy of your merch in the "Drop-Off Box"? This way you don't have to go through the motions of stuffing/sealing an envelope, getting postage on it and bringing it down to the post office. Just go by Hyde & Zeke's Records! And also, if you buy local music, I prefer to get it there at Hyde & Zeke's and so should you - Hyde & Zeke's are staunch supporters of local music and they are a small, independent record store that needs your support! As they say on the radio: Hyde & Zeke's - real people in a plastic business.

** 2nd RUN OF T-SHIRTS COMING SOON

I've just about sold out of my first run of FRG t-shirts (I have one XL tank top left). Thanks to all of you who bought one. Just a reminder to those of you who haven't paid yet to please do so immediately. Send me an email and we'll arrange something.

I'm currently taking advance orders for the second run of shirts which will be the same design except they'll be raspberry ink on white t-shirts. I think the contrast on the front will stand out more and be clearer to see.

Send me an email if you'd like to reserve a shirt and please indicate what size you'd like. We're going to have a limited number of small and medium sizes this time so get them early. The cost is $8-10 on a sliding scale.

That's it for now. Please let me know if you would not like to receive this email newsletter or if you want to add someone else to it.
