State News and Stuff!

The state news published an article about me today!! If you found your way here from the article, thanks for visiting my happy little blog. If you'd like to join my facebook group (and you should), go here. To read the article if you haven't, go here.

I'm going to be having a benefit show at the Green River Cafe on April 25th featuring myself and my good friend Vince DiFazio playing an acoustic set of some originals, some covers, and who knows, maybe some classic tv theme songs. We'll be joined by Empire! Empire! (I was a lonely estate) and Dave Menzo's Band (their name escapes me at the moment). Tickets are going to be $10 tentatively, and free beer for those who are 21+. More information on that very very soon.

Ok, enough shameless self promotion. The bottle drive last weekend went extremely well, and when all was said and done I made $170 from it, thus bringing my fund raising total to $870. Thanks to everyone who has helped me out so far. Some people that have helped make it possible: Jake Bayer, Anthony Ciolino, Mike Hogan, Lauren Gadoua, Todd Fadoir, Amanda Gougeon, Tiffany Weber, John Morasso, and Rene Davis.

If there's ANY amount that you can donate (I mean any, I know what it's like to be a broke college student), go here. Just select Jon Barth on the drop down list, it's 100% secure, really fast and easy and 100% of it goes directly to my cause.

A graphical representation of my fund raising thus far:


I took some really neat photos when I went on a bike ride last week, but my computer doesn't seem to want to acknowledge my camera's existence, so sadly they'll have to wait.
