In Wobbly news, we are in the process of building a screen press to screen print our own shirts, patches, and whatever else we can get a design on. This will include free and discounted Wobblies merch! We are accepting your design ideas so please e-mail us if you are artistically inclined.

In our Community Calendar for November, a special benefit show is taking place in Michigan… if you are in the area, please attend! Kenny Plont e-mailed us this information:

This is a benefit concert for the genocide that is currently going on in
Darfur. Darfur is a region in Sudan, Africa.

The purpose is to raise awareness about the genocide & the sudanese government, and to educate people & encourage them to take action on this issue.
The money will go to the organization- Darfur Peace and development
specifically to the sector of it that has been working to build schools and
women shelters in Darfur.
http://www.darfurpeace.org/

The genocide in Darfur has claimed 400,000 lives and displaced over
2,500,000 people. More than one hundred people continue to die each day;
five thousand die every month.
MUCH LOVE,
Kenny Plont

Lastly we leave you with this depressing news:

LOVE AND PEACE.

2. PANDORA
us, murphys kids, and stuck lucky have all been approved for pandora, which, if you dont know already, is a totally rad website that plays random music picks related to the style of music you are currently listening to. i have found a lot of bands i like today because of this website, so this will be awesome.

3. MONSTROSITY PRODUCTIONS
bryan and amanda have started a production company. they do marketing, recording, mixing, mastering, and also koob’s pictures are up there. they are hard working peoples so if you need any of these things, hit em up

4. ACOUSTIC ALBUM
im writing and recording an acoustic album. idk what im going to call it yet but im hoping to release it nov. 30th. it will be a community records release, and half of it will be available to download for free at community records. i will be touring behind my acoustic stuff when im not touring with ABE, so im going to have a ridiculously busy 2010.

5. SIGN UP FOR THE FORUM! SIGN UP FOR THE STREET TEAM!
believe you me, ill be getting the rest of the band to start posting on this. THE FORUM WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR MOST STREET TEAM FUNCTIONS so make sure you check it often if you decide to join the street team. creativity is encouraged here. any interesting posts, poems, songs, or ideas in general will be highlighted in the newsletter that i am going to start doing bi-weekly or so. also, if you are signing up for our street team, you may as well sign up for the community records street team HERE. us and our friends at CR want to load you down with flyers, posters, stickers, buttons, and all other sorts of propaganda. let us.
