Apr. 9th, 2012 07:55 amGood morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!
This took less time than usual to prep. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this thing, eighteen months in...

off_coloratura is making her first solo album, of songs by Ricky Ian Gordon. All the details are available at her post and on her indiegogo site, where she's trying to raise $5k for the cost of recording and production. There are lots of perks offered to donors and it looks like it'll be a great album!
idancewithlife linked to the Locus Photo and Ephemera Archive Project whose goal "is to fund the preservation of a historic and irreplaceable collection of materials covering the science fiction, fantasy, and horror fields, including author and convention photos, correspondence, and other ephemera, accumulated by Charles N. Brown and Locus magazine over the past 60 years." They've reached their goal but of course could always use more money to fund the project.

golden_d is trying to find a new home for her grandfather's two cats in the North Jersey or NY Metro area. The full info is here. They'd like to adopt out Buddy and Molly together, but the most important thing for them is that they go to caring families.
evil_girraffe is looking for part-time volunteer/outreach opportunities with the LGBT community, in the Baltimore/DC area. Info is welcome via PM, but email at rlynneroberts at gmail.com is preferred.
Need Some Housing?

kayloulee and ineptshieldmaid are looking for a flatshare starting in mid-april. The full info post is here but the basics are that it's a large master bedroom in Marrickville South, Sydney; second floor, insuite laundry, close to trains; they're looking for a queer-friendly woman, no smokers or pets.
merrily is looking for someone to sublet her room in Toronto for the summer while she's out of the country, from June 1 through August 31. She left a comment with full information here but the basics are that it's a 3br apartment with two other women on the top two floors of a 3-storey house; insuite laundry, a block from the subway, queer-friendly, no smokers or pets.
News To Know:
dorkabunny wants to remind everyone around this time of year that lillies are extremely toxic to cats -- just a few bites, and they can die of renal failure if not treated within a couple hours. She adds that poinsettias aren't toxic to animals; apparently the myth derives from an incident in the early 20th century that was misinterpreted (Snopes agrees).
tesserae_ reminded me about Call For Entry, which has a lot of new competitions/fellowships/etc looking for entrants at the moment. It's always a good place for artists in the Cafe to check on!
Just For Fun:
koken23 linked me to Viva Roma #5, a song about Ancient Rome set to Mambo #5 and in my opinion an improvement on same.
veronamay let me know that arduinna has written a multi-post history of fandom from 1994 through 2000(ish). I'm going to admit I haven't read it fully yet but it looks like a lot of fun!
And this has been Radio Free Monday! Thank you for your time. You can always post items for my attention in comments here (or on any post) or email me at copperbadge at gmail dot com. If you're not sure how to proceed, here is a little more about what I do and how you can help (or ask for help!). Remember, brevity is the soul of RFM.
