Activate!Activate! October 23-30: Fund Drive edition

First things first, much love to all who've donated to WRIR's Fund Drive! If you haven't yet, click on "donate" or call 804-622-9747. If you're feeling frisky, stop by the station at 1621 W. Broad and join the party. Local post-rockers Those Manic Seas will perform live, I'll give two tickets to the Brainworms reunion to my first $50 donor, and I'll preview all the rad bands playing live in Richmond this week!
