A close friend of mine asked me to help get the word out about this benefit show at 9th and Main on Thursday. Donations of $5 at the door to help fund the Sarah Copeland Medical Fund. All proceeds go to the medical fund.

If you haven’t seen Antarctic yet, now is a good time. They are one of my favorite local bands, they kick so much ass. So you can go check out a good band at an awesome venue and support a good cause.

Proceeds from this show go to benefit Invisible Children, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial resources to invisible children by documenting their true, untold stories in a creative and relevant way, resulting in positive change.
In the spring of 2003, three young Americans traveled to Africa in search of such a story. What they found was a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them. A story where children are the weapons and the victims. The “Invisible Children: Rough Cut” film exposes the effects of a 20-year-long war on the children of Northern Uganda. Children who live in fear of abduction by rebel soldiers, and are being forced to fight as part of a violent army.
If you can’t make it to the concert you can donate by personal check.
Make payable to Invisible Children

Tuesday April 1st there will be a philosophy slam at 9th and Main in Springfield. The slams are open mic discussions led by a moderator who argues for a controversial conclusion, then responds to input from the audience. The last philosophy slam started at 7:30, so I’m assuming this one will too.
This slam, titled “The Goldilocks Universe: How did the universe get to be ‘just right’ for us?” will ponder questions of design and cosmology suggested by contemporary physics with presenter Conrad Weihnacht.
On Sunday March 30th, RADO’s Neighborhood Watch will be having a street clean-up followed by a cookout. Following the broken window concept RADO is working to reduce crime in Riverside by cleaning trash and talking to neighbors.
