The Kickstarter drive for\\xa0Notebook on Cities and Culture\'s\\xa0sixth season launches now. If we raise its budget, we\'ll spend an entire year in Seattle: the city of\\xa0grunge, Microsoft, Amazon, the Space Needle, Buddy Bradley, Archie McPhee, sleeplessness, Starbucks, and much more we\'ll discover through at least 52\\xa0in-depth conversations with its\\xa0novelists, journalists, comic artists, filmmakers, broadcasters, explorers, academics, architects, planners, cultural creators, internationalists, observers of the urban scene, and more.

\\n

Once we raise season six\'s full $6000\\xa0budget, the show\\xa0will go on as planned.\\xa0And for every additional $200 we raise, the season will include an additional episode.\\xa0In other words, if we raise $10,000 rather than $6000, you\\u2019ll get 72 Seattle interviews rather than 52.

\\n

Depending upon the amount you pledge to back\\xa0Notebook on Cities and Culture\'s year in Seattle, you could get a mention at the end of each episode, postcards from the city, me talking about your project or message at the top of one episode and its associated post, or at the top of all of them. But do note that, since no one likes a long drive,\\xa0we only have five days to raise the money.

\\n

The Kickstarting\\xa0ends\\xa0on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time,\\xa0but before then,\\xa0I\\u2019ll put up a\\xa0special preview episode\\xa0featuring a new interview with a favorite long Seattle-based guest from whom, if you\\u2019ve followed my interviewing career for a long time indeed, you\\u2019ve heard a couple provocative and funny hours of conversation before. Visit season six\'s Kickstarter page\\xa0for details. Thanks, and stay tuned.
