Giving Your Part

I won't give you my deep thoughts on the tsunami in Southeast Asia- what is understood doesn't need to be discussed. I do implore you to help out any way you can- give blood, money, labor; whatever you can bring to the relief effort do so.

To that end, please try to come for this as HotHouse and the clubs working with them have pledged $100,000 for the relief effort. Every penny matters:


Goal: HotHouse’s goal is to raise $100,000 in January for organizations aiding victims of the tsunami. 100 percent of the proceeds from the benefit concerts will go to relief organizations.
