Obamafest!

Hello party people,

I know it's been a while. I was in a fiery plane crash over the antarctic. But thanks to the wonders of cannibalism, I survived.

I really don't know where I'm going with this.... Oh yeah - Hang out with us this Sunday! We're playing Obamafest at 4th and Girard in Philly. It's from noon to 7 and we'll probably play around 2pm. See below for the press release and whatnot.

Later,
JJ

On Sunday April 20th a free OBAMAFEST CONCERT AND RALLY will be held
at 4th and Girard Avenue in Northern Liberties. Event co-sponsors
Curbside Chef are donating their spacious lot to host the concert,
which will feature some of Philly's brightest artists with music as
diverse as the city itself. Grammy award winning Cee Knowledge of the
Digable Planets will share the stage with legendary drummer Calvin
Weston, mellow hipsters The Buried Beds, alt rockers Surgeon, among
many others.

The concert will bring Philly bands together in support of Senator
Obama's candidacy for the Presidency as the battleground hits home
this coming Tuesday April 22nd. Event co-sponsor Fire Productions,
who has taken an active part in democratic voter registration,
continues to support the natural relationships between the arts and
political activism. The goal is to bring as many democratic voters
together and to raise enthusiasm to participate in Tuesday's election.

In addition to the music, the event will host Obama volunteer
registration tables, speakers on behalf of the Obama campaign,
catering by Curbside Chef and Las Cazuelas, and vendors of arts and
crafts.

The line up for the concert is:
The Codes
Calvin Weston Trio
Surgeon
John Francis
Cee Knowledge
Drink Up Buttercup
Anam Owili-Eger
Murderhouse
Victor Victor Band
The Co Champs
Unlikely Cowboy
Buried Beds
Andrew Lipke
Papertrees

FragSponsor takes video gaming to the next level with sponsorship programs

RICHMOND, Va.(Oct. 10, 2006) -- Serious about gaming? So are we. With a target operational date of February 2007, FragSponsor will open the doors for video game enthusiasts around the world to enhance the way they game through corporate sponsorships.

FragSponsor has developed a number of sponsorship programs available to all gamers, featuring a variety of packages for both individuals and groups. All members will receive full access to the FragSponsor site, where they can choose and negotiate industry sponsorships, meet other players, and get discounts. Membership also allows access to the FragStore, the site’s exclusive gaming store.

“Gamers will get to pick who they want from our list,” said co-founder Brian Atkinson. “There is no resume or proposal process.  Joining gives a member access to the sponsors of his or her choice. So yes, gamers are guaranteed sponsors just for joining.”

FragSponsor maintains a comprehensive sponsor list, not just for game manufacturers, but for a member’s lifestyle. Members receive access to the exclusive sponsor list, where every sponsor deal is listed for their choice. Sponsorships last for one year, at which time gamers may renew current sponsors or choose new ones.

Right now FragSponsor is encouraging gamers to go to their site and join the mailing list so that they can be kept in the loop for exciting developments in the coming months.  “We just want people to know what we are about and that we are getting ready for a launch sometime around the first of the year,” Atkinson said.

FragSponsor co-founder and avid gamer Brandon Atkinson got the idea for a sponsorship business after seeing other industries develop similar packages.

A comprehensive package description of pricing and the different levels of sponsorship will be released in the near future.
