Two reasons to go to Vanderbilt Ave. tonight.
1. The people from BEAST posted in the Prospect Heights Message Boards about a fundraiser tonight at 9 PM “to raise money for those suffering in the Gulf States.” Admission is a $7 donation, which includes one raffle ticket (oops, looks like they changed it to $10). Music by L.P., Tara Lynne, and Mark the Pirate from New Orleans, who survived the flood (along with his accordian). Raffle includes items/services donated by these Vanderbilt Ave. businesses (and people in the neighborhood):

Fermented Grapes
Delicacies
The Forest Floor
Acme Pet Food
Pieces
Music for Aardvarks
Artists Johnathan Frisk and Lawrence Quigley
