Title: Best Show Finale: Minnesota Friends of Tom Unite - Turf Club St. Paul, MN
Post by: sara on December 03, 2013, 08:00:41 PM: Is anyone in the Mpls/St Paul area interested in having a listening party for the last Best Show? I've never known anyone (in real life or online) who is also a fan of the show so thought it might be cool/fun/whathaveyou. I've been listening every week for 5 years now and, of course, am sad to see it go.

Post by: TRL on December 10, 2013, 12:26:17 AM: Best Show related music starting at 7pm
The final show will be from 8-11pm and will be played over the PA.

We're hoping to call in and give a cheer of thanks for all Scharpling has done over the last 13 years.

On December 17th, Scharpling will be ending an era by doing one last 3 hour show. I helped organize an evening to bring together Minnesota listeners and fans of the show at the Turf Club in St. Paul.
