In December, I was reading an article about the San Diego Food Bank, and it mentioned statistics; the need had risen greatly, and the amount of food it receives is down drastically as well. And I noticed the amount of charity events we had poppin' up - food drives, jacket/blanket/clothing drives, toy drives - which is a wonderful thing, but I came to the realization that we're so altruistic during the holidays, but we largely don't consider it during the rest of the year. But people need to eat all year 'round, and the economy is obviously hitting many people, because what's apparent statistically is the families that previously donated the food and goods to the food bank are now faced with a need as well.
We go out and party all the time; it's about time we party for a cause on a regular basis! The price is small... a minimum 2 can donation, which will go to the Food Bank, or $5, which will go towards my friend Dwayne, the bartender at the Red C Lounge downtown, who recently found out he has a brain tumor, and he has no insurance. There will also be a bucket at the bar, and if you can give extra, it will be greatly appreciated, and will go towards his living costs while he recovers from whatever procedures he'll have to endure, which will obviously inhibit him from working.
Each month, I will feature different genres of music. I really want to involve the entire community in this, and provide a forum for up and comers to get a chance to play as well, while exposing some of the regulars that will be to new things they may not have had the chance to hear before. And it's all for 2 good causes.
On the second Tuesday of every month, we're at the Kava Lounge.
I look forward to seeing you there!
