2001-09-11 RED CROSS NEEDS YOUR $$$ AND YOUR BLOOD: In the face of recent events, we decided that we should try to do something to help. At each of our shows this week we will be selling our new CD "Just My Type" and donating all the money we receive to the American Red Cross.
If you are unable to make it out to a gig this week, you can still help. Our good friends at {Pinch Hit Records} have generously agreed to donate all proceeds from sales of "Just My Type" through their web site over the next five days to the Red Cross as well.
If you already own the cd, go ahead and get another. You can give it to a friend and feel good about helping us to help others who need it now.
While you're at it, now would be a good time to donate blood. Call 1-800-448-3543 for details or visit their web site.
