(2nd Anniversary + Holiday Donation Drive Concert)

Really hope that y'all can join us this FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9th, 2011 for our
2nd Anniversary + Holiday Donation Drive Concert Event!

We're trying something new this time. After two lucky years we wanted to organize a
holiday concert to benefit The Network. The Network is a nonprofit charitable organization
that provides health and emergency services to children, low-income families, and senior
citizens. With your help, we'd love to help them collect as many donations (canned goods
and personal items) as possible for this holiday season. And, to make the event even
more festive, we are beyond grateful to have the amazingly talented and generous
Camille Cortinas (fb) and The Motel Pine (fb) to play for us on Friday night to help put
us in the holiday spirit!*

Here's a list of suggested donations from The Network - canned meats, vegetables, fruit,
hearty soups, peanut butter, cereal, sugar, baby food, powdered milk and baby formula.
There is a also a strong need for personal items such as soap, toothpaste, deodorant, toilet
tissue, disposable razors, diapers...

So come on out on Friday for the usual fun, munchies (ShopDad is cooking!), drinkies,
awesome music.. all for a good cause! Also, thanks to the  talented Roger Peters
(remember his photos from the Fallout Show) will be on hand to help for some holiday
portraits (think Sears...) And, HUGE thanks to Camille for donating her time and talent
to the event and Shaun Colon of Dang! Records (fb) for organzing The Motel Pines.

It's gonna be a fun night, hope to see y'all here!

(*Camille, The Motel PInes, and our bartertnders will be donating all their tips to The Network, too.)

ALSO... if you want more fun, the awesome Amanda Popkens of Dallas Cycle Chic has
organized a very casual and fun bike ride this SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11th, at 1PM from
the West Village to Henderson. We'll be joining the bikers to visit some of our neighbors
- Transit, Gypsy Wagon, Another Time and Place, Pandemonium, and Demerara...
There will be discounts and drinks along the way! More info from Bike Friendly Oak Cliff.
