The phone bank sits momentarily idle at the KEXP offices early on Friday, March 12, the final day of the station’s spring pledge drive.
“We stand on our chairs when the phones stall out,” says photographer and pledge volunteer Victoria VanBruinisse. “We do dance moves when our line rings – all these funny little superstitions that make the Friday morning pledge shift work.” The not-for-profit station, which broadcasts music to listeners in Seattle and New York and streams to a worldwide audience, started this year’s drive with the goal of raising five hundred thousand dollars. That goal would be met on this final day, but not until the Afternoon Show with Kevin Cole. •
