See you tonight

CLICK ABOVE FOR A COMPLETE SCHEDULE OF KATRINA BENEFITS IN MINNESOTA

Hope to see you at First Avenue or The Loft tonight, though I'll have to work my ass off to make it. Look for much more here on Friday.

From the department of slightly related good news: a roundup of Katrina hip-hop tracks at Culture to Go

I also hope to attend this play, this exhibit, and the following lecture this weekend:

"HOTEL RWANDA" HERO TO SPEAK AT TEMPLE  ISRAEL
Paul Rusesabagina, the manager  of a luxury Rwanda hotel who saved the lives of 1200 people during the 1994  Rwanda massacres, will be the featured speaker for Temple Israel's 5th annual  Speakers Forum on Sunday, September 18, 2005 at Temple Israel, 24th and  Hennepin  Avenue, Minneapolis.

Mass email from my friend Machelle:

I wrote a much more angry and frustrated email to send to all of you, but thought better of it. I created a blog of that email instead. These are the thoughts that have been going through my mind for the past week, along with many many others. It's not entirely how I feel, but I feel much better writing it down.
