In the effort to support community, people, and good causes, I’m participating in a wonderful event titled “A Thousand Wordz” @ The Noodle Factory in West Oakland, a space dedicated to artists and their art. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Haiti Relief as we continue to support their rebuilding effort. The details are below: come through if you are interested in great art, live music, and good vibes!

Enter and you will find art, photography, DJ’s, great live music/bands, some great food, and beer by donation brewed by local brewers to raise funds for clean water, medical supplies, and food for Haitians in need. That is a night, and a $10 bill well spent. Come join us in celebrating diversity, and community.
The evening will go from 7pm to 12am in the Theater, and there will be some smaller after parties following from 12am – 3am. So far…
