First on the dial, first in your heart?
Its 1:22 am, Kyle and I are playing music we only get to hear on CKXU and having a grand ‘ole time and dancing to the Fake Cops.
It is fantastic.
Pledging isn’t important anymore. In fact, don’t pledge, that’s fine. We know your tired and cranky but tomorrow morning we both expect you to get up nice and early and phone us at 329 2400 for some early morning pledge action.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Over and out.
Love,
Miss JP and Kyle.

Other thoughts:
