About me: UPDATE: Brush Up Buffalo 2009 is rescheduling its annual event from June 20 to June 27 due to inclement weather. Volunteers are asked to check their e-mail and the Brush Up Buffalo Web site for further updates. This is the first rain delay in Brush Up Buffalo’s 13-year history.
More than 600 volunteers are currently registered for the one-day, annual event. Eighteen low-income, single-family, owner-occupied homes are slated to receive a fresh coat of paint in the area surrounding the University at Buffalo South Campus.
All activities and times as originally scheduled will take place the following week on Saturday, June 27. Volunteers should arrive at the University at Buffalo South Campus Diefendorf Lot, accessible from Bailey Avenue, beginning at 7:30 a.m. Additional volunteers are welcome and may register online.

Brush Up Buffalo is a not-for-profit organization whose primary mission is the revitalization of Buffalo, NY neighborhoods. Brush Up Buffalo organizes an annual, one-day event that brings together sponsors, donors of goods and services, and teams of community-minded volunteers to paint the exteriors of low-income, City of Buffalo homeowner's homes.
Each year, Brush Up Buffalo selects a Buffalo neighborhood for the one-day event. Teams formed from the 500 to 1,000 volunteers from businesses, unions, community groups, and city and county government, work with professional painters to paint, on average, 15 to 20 homes -- all in one day -- and at no cost to the homeowner.
Who I'd like to meet: Hundreds of YOU -- proud volunteers from Western New York and beyond -- taking a Saturday morning to help beautify a Buffalo neighborhood. Sign up today at www.brushupbuffalo.org.

In an industry short on creative marketing and sales figures, DTR45 has once again pushed the envelope, taking the already innovative Rebel Radio compilation series and doubling down on the effort. Rebel Radio 4, announced last month, will be joined simultaneously with Rebel Radio 5, a move which pays homage to the 12 year label’s recent re-brand from DeepThinka to DTR “45”.
This free two disc collection continues the Rebel Radio tradition of fighting back against the corporate “nickel and dime” measures that music consumers endure and at the same time works to develop a market for hip hop talents both large and small in recognition. The talent featured this time around is remarkable: from locally based artists like Edreys, Fresh Guac and Q-Boogie, to mainstream names like Blu, Camp Lo, Styles P, and Pete Rock.
