i don't leave home without it
my KCRW fringe benefits card, that is.
now that i have a fresh source of disposable income to spend on yoga classes, i've been finding more reasons to pull out my purple KCRW card. with an average $2 savings per class, it may not sound like much, but it does add up. if nothing else, it easily covers the starbucks grande-iced-green-unsweetened-ez-ice that i treat myself to after class.
to save me (and you) the trouble of having to continually check the fringe benefits directory to find out who offers a KCRW discount, i've indicated the yoga studios on my list (see sidebar on right) that honor the card.
for those who have no idea what i'm talking about, here are some answers to your questions, courtesy of the KCRW website:
what's KCRW?

and if you find yourself outside the reaches of the KCRW radio signal, there's kcrwmusic.com on the internet.
KCRWmusic.com puts the best of underground flavors, independent records and progressive major releases within reach 24/7. KCRWMusic.com boasts the same variety of cutting edge music that defines 89.9 KCRW’s eclectic identity, featuring electronica to progressive pop, Latin alternative to modern soul, hip-hop, trip-hop, world music and more.
i don't know about you, but if all i had to listen to on the radio were the same-old same-old top 40 stations, i'd tune in just long enough to get the news, weather, and traffic reports, then switch back to my CD player. or maybe i'd even subscribe to satellite radio, like XM or sirius, for the variety it offers. but since subscribing to KCRW costs me much less, i'll keep doing whatever i can to make sure it stays around for a long, long time.
and after you read this post, hopefully, you will, too :)
