Hey Everyone,

A big thank you to everyone involved in Banding Together: a benefit for the Spondylitis Association Of America! That includes all of the musicians, ThePenguinRocks.com (for simulcasting the webathon), all the wonderful restaurants that donated food for the musicians to eat, and last but certainly not least, all of you who listened and donated.

While we did not raise as much money as last year, we had more listeners and more people donating. People just donated less than last year, likely due to the poor economic situation we are all facing. We are thankful for any donation, as I said many times throughout the webathon, every donation helps and is a step towards cure for a very painful condition.

Several people e-mailed me about still donating to the Spondylitis Association Of America. You can do so by going here:

Other e-mailed asking if any of the webathon will be rebroadcast. I had not originally planned to, but if the demand is there, I will figure out an appropriate way to rebroadcast the sets. If you are interested, please e-mail me and let me know.

And for those wondering, yes, I am already hard at work on ways to improve Banding Together to make it an even better webathon next year!

Pissed Off!

Remember when Homer Simpson ran for Sanitation Commissioner & made a lot of promises that he could only keep by spending the entire annual budget in a matter of days? Chris Christie’s promises without a plan to back them reminds me of that...

That's all for this week folks.
