312-DRY-TOFU – Row Row Your Waterlogged Pejorative Books

312-DRY-TOFU - Free-form Question, Comment, Improvisation Voicemail Line

We bring you another installment of the free-form question, comment and improvisational voicemail art project, 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638). Give us a call to share your perspective on anything and everything! Tell us about your day, improvise a monologue about a local event, or sing us a song. If it can be captured on the phone, we want to hear it.

In this episode we hear a wonderfully delightful rendition of a nursery rhyme, the favorite parts of the Kentucky Derby, a little historical preaching of Richard Stallman starting the GNU System, Cameron’s obscene birthday observations, an unknown acoustic song, how to save water damaged books, a story about a pejorative princess, freezing books when floods are inconvenient to your schedule.

Please join us for the next episode by calling and contributing to 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638)!
