Play for Haiti

Play for Haiti, February 5th, 2010; a fundraiser at Vintage Bar in White Plains, for relief for the victims of the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti.

As all of you know, hundreds of thousands of people are still without food, water, and shelter in Haiti. The nation that was devastated by a massive earthquake of a 7.0 magnitude, and multiple aftershocks that took out homes, schools, and hospitals. We’ve all seen the commercials on TV, the  music specials, and the ads to text Haiti to 90999; but now there’s something you can do to give, and have a great time doing it.

Vintage is hosting “Play for Haiti”, a fundraising event that donates all proceeds to the American Red Cross. Padraig Allen and the McLean Avenue Band will be performing, and for those of you who have never seen Padraig play, it’s an experience that should not be missed! So come have a good time, while doing a good thing. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

The Upside of being on the Downside

I might have one of the lowest immune systems known to man. When I get sick, usually about once every other month, I hit the floor hard. From high fevers that make me hallucinate, to swollen tonsils that make it difficult to eat or drink anything, when I get sick, I’m usually out of commission for about four solid days, and not fully recovered for a week or two.

However, there are some upsides of being under the weather. For instance, I haven’t smoked a cigarette in three days, or had a drink in four (not including hot totties). I get to catch up on TV, reading, and writing. All the sleeping is amazing. And I get to catch events like Apple’s announcement about the new ipad.

Everyone should check out the announcement, Apple should post the speech to itunes/its website later today.
