    Boy oh boy, as the 2008 Sasquatch Festival, at The Gorge in George, on Memorial Day Weekend, gets closer, those furry beasts are getting bolder and bolder, and they keep popping their heads up all around the CWU Campus.

    They have gotten so bold that one has contacted us, and is giving you two chances to win tickets to the concert that honors him.

    He wants to give these hot commodities away so badly that he has told us when and where he will be. But to make sure that fans of 88.1 The ‘Burg have the chance to win, he will only give the tickets to the person that has the correct key phrase.

    The first location, for a pair of tickets for Sunday the 25th, the Sasquatch will be chilling out in the Japanese Garden, in the middle of the CWU campus.

    He told us that "On Tuesday I will be renewing my Zen while listening to The A.M. Jolt sometime between 7 and 10, and when that harmony has been reached, I will give Dr. Houser and J. Maes a call, and tell them how I'm feeling".

    The Second location, for a pair of tickets for Monday the 26th, the Sasquatch has mentioned that on Wednesday, he will be at the Mezzanine Area between 7 and 10 a.m., on the second level, in the SURC.

    "I like to go catch up on the local news, while listening to that zany show The Morning Discharge, and once I think that I can't discharge anymore, I'll give Zach Hawkeye and Alisha Cleveland a call and let them know that I have had enough".

    Help Save Internet Radio Burg Bump

    The genocide of Internet radio may be upon us thanks to the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB), a three-judge panel created by congress, and SoundExchange, a digital music fee collection agent created by the recording industry. In 2004 the process of restructuring radio royalty rates began. Just recently CRB has announced their proposal for the new rate system.

    Under the current system, web broadcasters just need to pay a percentage of their revenues as royalty fees, between 10% and 12%. Under the new proposed system, radio stations will need to pay a flat rate per play. This rate will be retroactive to 2006 and increase each year through 2010.
