SPECIAL RELIEF EPISODE!
I read on
Podcrawl that there's a call to all podcasters to help out in our own special way, and this is mine. Here are some mo' funner musical ways YOU can help out with Katrina relief.
BENEFIT SHOWS IN ATLANTA!
Tonight, Sept. 02: Singer/songwriter night at Smith's Olde Bar, bring a can of food for $1 off admission.
Tomorrow, Sept. 03:
Blackfire Revelation at The EARL. This band is from New Orleans and has no place to go, no homes left. Go see their show and put money in the bucket. Also back in Atlanta next Friday the 9th at Star Bar. Really good mellow but hard rock.
Weak Lazy Liar at Eddie's Attic tomorrow night, donating all proceeds to relief efforts. Described as "heavy metal folk music" and very delicious.
Sunday, Sept. 04: The Whiskey Fest (thewhiskeyfest.com) at Park Tavern, 4-11pm. 5 tribute bands; get in free (otherwise $10/$15) if you give blood and prove it. Other ways to help there as well, check the website.
OTHER FUN WAYS TO HELP
Chance is donating all proceeds of his online music sales THROUGH LABOR DAY to relief, every red cent. So go buy some tracks (you can buy onesy-twosy tracks or whole albums). Remember him, the Milkshake Song cover guy? Yeah. Rock on.
Atlanta Roller Girls are collecting money to help their sisters in the Big Easy. If you want to donate direct to hot chicks on wheels with no homes, go here.
More later. Gotta go to work. Email me with more news!
OH YEAH, MY CONTRIBUTION: I admit, I have not yet made my donation to Red Cross yet. Here's what YOU can do: I have about 100 subscribers (not random listeners), and was thinking of donating $50 (HEY I'M POOR, OKAY). I'm going to donate fitty cent for every unique download of this episode (and the next Katrina related one); so TELL A FRIEND and drive up my donation, half a buck at a time.
