I learn things and then forget them almost immediately. The phone bonus reflects that. But it's so great. And it was LIVE at the Fontanas for the @NYCPodFest. So great It's January, so now' the time to start thinking about donating to The Dork Forest. I do the shows. Sometimes they're live. I buy mics and cords and travel and it's a lot of time... you should donate if you can. If you can't... talk it up to others. Pimp this dorky goodness. www.dorkforest.com and www.jackiekashian.com both have donation buttons. There's also an Amazon banner at www.jackiekashian.com to order from them and I get a kickback.

That's $8 a month. It just gives me cash to pay for the extraneous cost of doing the show and it REALLY makes me feel like you value the show and find it worthwile. So there's that. If you want to order TDF merch (T-shirts, CDs, Hoodies) do it where my standup schedule and links to all things are found, www.jackiekashian.com. There is also an AMAZON banner (white) on the front page that, if you go to amazon through that portal, order your stuff, I get a kickback. No additional cost to you. Very supportive. www.allthingscomedy.com is the podcast network that I'm with and there's a lot of grea pods over there if you're looking for more goodness.
