good music, good times, good cause

hey folks

as many of you know i do a lot of work with cornell's free student-run health clinic. we see patients who don't have health insurance, for free.

one of the dude's working at the clinic, along with a friend who is a promoter, organized a show at webster hall on may 21st. so far the bands i know of that are playing are "jukebox, the ghost" and "the hymns" - both have been on NPR, jukebox was at SXSW.

anyway you all should come. it's $25. it will be a good time. and between donating to christy's AIDS walk fund and coming to this concert, you can feel really good about yourselves.

tuesday may 21st.
webster hall.

Retroactive Move

Sorry for neglecting to post this before the fact, but this weekend I announced the Saturday and Sunday UMass baseball games against Dayton University. It wasn't for the radio exactly, but for the internet webcast. The first game was a fun and brisk 2 hour, 15 minute affair. The second was a brutal 4 hour, 15 minute grind--a 15 inning, 5-4 game that should have ended twice before it finally did. I love baseball, but by the 12th inning I had run out of things to say...and almost run out of the will to live. If you'd like to see the box score, here it is:

Unfortunately, I had to miss Athas' movie. Hope it went well. I hope the party was a hit, and no JJ8ers are now facing incarceration for inappropriate behavior with a 15 year-old starlet.

Party

hey guys.  party this friday night to celebrate the opening of the film.  sorry for such late notice.  i forget sometimes that we don't all share a brain.

place:  The Magician (corner of essex and rivington)

time:  friday, May 2nd, 9PM

this is XOU's east side place, so it should be pretty chill.   i hope.

This is a real headline.

Increasingly, it seems reality is beating the onion to the punch.

5 Dollars or 6 Miles

Alright, fellow JJ8'ers, it's time to live up to our youthful idealism and (mostly) liberal political beliefs.

I'm participating in AIDS Walk NY on Sunday, May 18 and would appreciate any donations, money or time, to help find a cure for or better treatment of AIDS.

You can donate money here: http://aidswalknewyork2008.kintera.org/faf/r.asp?t=4&i=262058&u=262058-213168123&e=1661399335

Or go to http://www.aidswalk.net/newyork/index.html and register to walk or volunteer.

Maybe a JJ8 Team would be in order? We all need to limber up for the Roommate Olympics in June. Also, there will be Bloody Marys and Mimosas and chain smoking with my cute, young, politically-minded Scholastic co-workers after.


"With only 3% of the nation's population, New York City has more than 15% of AIDS cases and has the nation's highest AIDS case rate. As many as 163,000 New Yorkers are living with HIV infection. The HIV/AIDS epidemic is not only greater in New York City than other parts of the United States, it is far more complex. HIV/AIDS in New York City in intrinsically intertwined with the epidemics of substance use, homelessness, tuberculosis, poverty and issues relating to mental health."

Random night requested photographic evidence....

Chaucer, I didn't originally post this picture because of certain activities captured therein....but I think I edited it safely....

Random night invades the blog!!!!

One night, in a far away land called NYC, Mysteria lured two Scandinavian girls from the cozy sawdust confines of McSorley's to the apartment of a friend in the hopes that one of her friends might express his attraction to one of the girls. Instead, her friend hung out with the other guys on the couch while Mysteria scampered around the apartment taking pictures with the Scandinavian girl's fantastic camera. One day, the lovely northerner emailed the pictures to Mysteria. The end.
