July Beneficiary is Rustbelt Radio

"News from the grassroots, news overlooked by the corporate media." Rustbelt Radio is Pittsburgh's Indymedia-based weekly radio show. They cover local news and issues, as well as national and global news reports as well. I usually try to listen to it live on Monday afternoons at 6pm on WRCT 88.3 FM, but you can check out a bunch of other broadcast times as well as archived episodes at http://radio.indypgh.org/. They are also always on the lookout for stories/story ideas, help with copy editing, interviewing, and hosting. Find out more at the website above or by emailing radio@indypgh.org.

And if anybody is interested, I think I'm teaming up with Project 53 Music Resource Center to do karaoke at the West Penn rec center pool on wednesday from 5:30-7:30pm before my regular night at Belvie's.

May Beneficiary is Human Rights Coalition - Fed Up!

Alright, I know the month is over, but proceeds from May went to help Human Rights Coalition - Fed Up! Chapter get to the U.S. Social Forum in Detroit, MI in late June. I'll be heading up to the USSF myself, and I'm looking forward to it a great deal.

HRC - Fed Up is a great SW Pennsylvania organization focused on ending prisoner abuse in prisons, particularly in Pennsylvania and Virginia, and ending the prison-industrial complex everywhere. Awesome folks doing awesome work.

Welcome to Stowaway Soundsystem!

Okay, so this is the first post. It's a test post. I've never done one of these before. I hope it works. Stowaway Soundsystem is a karaoke project to have fun with my friends, make new friends, allow people to cut loose and express themselves on a microphone, and also provide some very inexpensive fundraising for awesome (mostly local) grassroots projects. Get in touch if you're having a party or want to do a fundraiser, via email at stowawaysoundsystem@gmail.com, otherwise, i'll just see you at Belvedere's (4016 Butler St.) every wednesday from 10pm-2am. Its free and out of control.
