Hot Summer Swag in the WFMU Store

We’ve just added some new, exclusive swag to our online store, including the Scary Cat T-shirts pictured here, as well as some cool new stickers, magnets, buttons, and other shirts. We’ve also moved some shirts from previous fundraisers into the store for the first time. Check out the whole array of goods here. All sales benefit WFMU 100%!

We’re Almost Done Swaggin’

Thanks to all WFMU pledgers for your generosity as well as your patience! We’re so close to finishing mailing the swag from our March fundraiser, and you may have already received yours. If you haven’t, don’t worry! WFMU swag fulfillment depends on many arcane, complex, and difficult-to-comprehend processes, and Land’s End we ain’t – but eventually your swag will leave the building. We’ll continue to mail over the next month. Hang in there and thank you again!
