The I See Hawks in LA show at Cole’s on Friday isn’t a regular gig, it’s a blood drive after-party for Laura (friend of the Hawks and my sister), details are here http://www.colespebuffet.com/blood.html but you can find out more about Laura and the blood drive at her blog (http://kevinsdeadcat.blogspot.com/).
Please make an appointment to donate blood. You get a great gift bag with a certificate for free beer at the after-party and you get to see I See Hawks in LA in a special private concert for free! Thanks in advance for your help and support.
People. Free beer. Free music. Get out there & lend a vein.
Has anyone seen my boyfriend? He went missing on a fishing trip nearly two months ago. If you see him at Our Lady Peace, would you tell him that ONJ wants a shout back?
Thanks a lot, guys.
