In Darfur, Sudan - life-saving assistance to thousands of victims is being handled by developing women and youth centers to address protection, social and legal issues. For women, these centers will also address health needs and provide support to victims of sexual violence. -- Please come out and support the cause to increase awarness & help with humanitarian activities - Humanitarian forces are building small villages for thousands of people from the ground up -- everything from family shelters, clinics, schools, to latrines, wells, and other infrastructure. Despite danger to humanitarian workers, they continue to provide basic live-saving assistance and monitor the fragile security situation along the border.

Who I'd like to meet: The Darfur Crisis: In Darfur, Sudan - Over the past 3 years, nearly 400,000 innocents have been killed - massacred, raped, or become victims of disease. Two million have been forced from their homes, including 220,000 Sudanese refugees who have fled the border.
***Marauding Janjaweed gunmen wielding whips and guns are sending villagers running for their lives. Nearly 60% of these innocents are children. The atrocities committed in Darfur - throwing children into bonfires, spoiling wells with corpses, stealing all livestock, setting crops and homes ablaze. (Stats taken from AID Darfur and Save Darfur Coalition media releases, and from www.myspace.com/citizensforhumanity).
***Only so often do these atrocites reach our front pages....
***It is of dire necessity that we, as Americans, with so many resources, help spread the word about the situation in Darfur to put a stop to the genocide that is occurring.
We have a new song... This is a BIG song. How about some input from friends and fans? Listen to "Untitled" and drop a comment. What do you think. Lyrics forthcoming...
I just swinging by to keep tabs of my friends. :) Stay tuned... I recorded new songs this week and will record vocals this weekend. The new songs will be up soon. OH- Don't forget, you can download my songs free for your MP3 players... JP
haha awesome. Still good with a PA system? you got some pretty big bands, thats hip. Any chance of contacting local radio stations? sometimes they help...sometimes they dont.
Yea. You ll need a PA system. Does cafe 611 have one? If not i know so damn thirsty has one that they can give you for pretty cheap. About 200$ including a sound guy. Alot of people will charge you around 500 which can be lame when your not a business, your just hosting a concert for a cause. But yea ask sdt, if they cant, making music you can sent a pa. But would have to find someone do the sound.
