Bamford T-Shirts and Gear in the Works
=====================================================
Maria is working with yours truly on a line of Maria Bamford Fan t-shirts and other gear that will be made available exclusively on the Maria Bamford Fan Site real soon.

I came up with a few initial designs and ran them past Maria for her blessing. She replied back with some clever embellishments and asked that her photo be on all items (hey, no problem with me!). So they're gonna be cool with Maria's unique touch. Watch the website for further announcements!

Request Maria on XM Satellite Radio!
=====================================================
Got XM Satellite radio? Then you may know about XM channel 150, their main comedy channel.

I have it on good authority that XMCOMEDY has a copy of Maria's latest CD. But so far they don't seem to be playing it. Not good.

So if you have XM Satellite Radio (or know someone who does), help enlighten their comedy channel program manager. Request tracks from Maria's CD "The Burning Bridges Tour"!

You can reach XM 150 by calling toll-free 866-XMLAUGH (866-965-2844) or emailing them at xmcomedy@xmradio.com. Tell them you want to hear Maria Bamford and let them know your favorite tracks from the CD!

Go get 'em, SuperFans!

Bamford SuperFan Updates
=====================================================
Now there are two (2) email news services available from the Maria Bamford Fan Site.

The first one is this monthly newsletter you're reading now. Just once a month. Great for those who don't want any more email than necessary.

The second -- Bamford SuperFan Updates -- are announcements sent out as soon as I get the news. This includes last minute live appearances and any other important Bamford news. These announcements are usually NOT included in the monthly newsletter.

Since the last monthly newsletter, there were five (count 'em, 5!) such announcements... mostly last minute bookings with only 24 - 48 hours notice including a couple of FREE performances by Maria. Hope you didn't miss them!

Want to make sure you catch the next live show by Maria Bamford? You need to sign up for the Bamford SuperFan Updates! It's easy... just go to this web page:

http://mariabamfordfan.com/lists/?p=subscribe

Enter your email address, check the box for "Bamford SuperFan Updates", and hit the subscribe button. That's it... you're in! Unsubscribing is just as easy, in case you change your mind.

So, do it now while you're thinking about it!
