    Haiti, 100 backers, and 11 more days.

    Happy Monday People,

    I just had to write and say that we've reached 100 backers and this just shortly after raising $5,500 for Partners in Health's efforts to aid our brothers and sisters in Haiti! I'm so completely overwhelmed with gratitude for your support (yes, you, backers from all across this country) and that of my hometown, Harrisburg, PA. It's really special for me to see my community come together around this cause. It's playing these kinds of shows, creating these experiences that drive me as an artist and will continue to guide me in my work. Whether it's a benefit concert in Harrisburg across the street from the place where my parents brought me home as a newborn or finding myself in Ninove, Belgium or Muskegon, MI to Washington, DC to Hot Springs, AR... the energy, the spirit, creativity, and love that lives in those rooms and in those moments never cease to inspire and warm me. We have got 11 days left to go the distance with our Kickstarter project. Let's finish strong!

    Your friend,
    Koji

    ps. To our friend Evan who had posed to me in the comments section, "Two questions: how are you going to reduce your carbon footprint and what organization are you going to "help"?" -- You can learn more about Partners in Health at http://www.pih.org or http://www.standwithhaiti.org. The answers to your questions will be told in time, but that's a good start. There's a whole lot of walking to do.

    HOMETOWN BDAY SHOW w. KEVIN DEVINE

    This show is going to be a great concert for several reasons. First, it's my last home townshow before the first leg of my Spring 2010 tour. It's my hometown birthday show, so there should be something baked with candles in it. Third, it's the release show for the first of 5 releases this year. That release is entitled Seaside Sessions. Fourth, this is Kevin's final appearance in the US before heading to Europe for a solo tour and then Australia with his friends Brand New. Fifth and finally, it's KEVIN DEVINE performing. He's been a true inspiration to me as an artist and social figure. We're so fortunate to have him here in the midstate. All in all, I cannot wait for this event. It's gonna be one for the ages. THE AGES.

    Tickets are available at www.clrmk.com.

    This is really incredible. I've been a huge fan of Blogotheque for sometime now and been involved with IC since 2005 East Coast tour. It's really great to see this collaboration! Can't wait to watch the finished film. Cheers!
