(no subject)

the fog is thick around my house right now while i wait for the coffee to finish brewing
it's like a sweet blanket and i want to take off my jeans and my sweater with their presentable for the world hard edges
and throw my soft and squishy at home halloween pajamas back on
drink my coffee
and watch movies all day

i like the new job but today feels like a day when couch snuggle cuddle would be just the ticket.
i feel so sad to have to leave the coccoon.

um... sex sells?

Mark Growden Benefit THIS SATURDAY

I got this via email this weekend...
Our pal Mark Growden, the music man who has entertained us for so many
years, needs our help. Mark was injured somewhat seriously in a
bicycle accident a few weeks ago. He was riding his fancy roadbike,
training for the upcoming AIDS Ride, and the frame of the bike
snapped. He broke four or so bones in his back, and dislocated his
shoulder. He cannot play his music, nor train for his ride, the two
things he was focusing most of his time doing. The former was how he
was paying the rent. He has lost his place to live. This is all on the
heels of his efforts to get his health and his life back on track.

I've spoken with Mark some, and he is, in his own words, "spiritually
strong," and keeping his recovery on track which I find awesome in the
face of this setback. But he does need a little help from his friends.
A couple of us folks have taken up the case. I hope we can count on
your help.

Here's what we're asking

First, the easiest and most timely item, getting some cash in Mark's
pocket. He has a paypal account set up through his email:
markgrowden@gmail.com

If you can afford to send him some scratch, please do asap.


Second, Mark had scheduled a benefit at 12 galaxies on March 29 to
raise funds for his AIDS Ride. This is now, as Sister Mable puts it, A
Benefit for the Being of Mark Growden. Please mark your calendars and
attend this show. It will be amazing. More info to follow on this. If
you are interested in performing (or think you are performing
already!) or contributing to the show in some way, please email me
directly at yogaperv@gmail.com

Third, please forward this email liberally. I apologize in advance for
multiple postings you may receive, but we want the message spread far
and wide.

Mark has played everywhere, for everyone and every cause for 10-plus
years. Let's show him how much he, his music, and his involvement in
this community means to us.
