I first heard the saying, "When all you've got is a hammer, everything starts to look like a hammer," years ago from a friend in regards to indymedia. It stands true still. If there's one thing we can confidently do (but there's definitely not just one), it's throw a good benefit.We held this Indymedia Benefit at the Union Hall downtown. It's an awesome space run by awesome people who just enjoy a good time. We had four great bands play. We got beer donated. I printed t-shirts (which incidentally has been my new thing throughout the week) and we had a fun raffle.
Although throwing a benefit has become old hat for us, we had some new tricks today. I ended up DJ'ing the entire night, playing music between the bands and being sound guy (for the first time) when they were playing. We made good money but the best part was definetely gathering friends together.
