Day Eleven At the Office

Hello all you sun worshipers!

Today is Lilac Festival in my home city. It's a great little festival that showcases all the small business and artistic talents of the inner cities fine folks; it brings people in from all over the city, to frolic the usually busy 4th street and the subculture along the way down 17th Ave. I love the 'hippy' undertone of the whole festival and the way it attracts people from all walks of life.

Today is also a special day at my work. As a guy who's family and heart have been touched by Cancer; I have to take this opportunity to tell you all about the happenings at the Yardhouse on 17th Ave today, we are throwing a bit of a party. This party isn't the normal Lilac Festival type of shindig; rather this party is for a very solid cause, The Ride to Conquer Cancer. My manager and friend, Sean Parker, has put together a spectacular affair today; all in the name of his mother Penny Parker and her battle with breast cancer. He has mustard up some live music, some great people, some loyal staff members and a whole lot of interested minds.
In an industry that is money hungry and somewhat devout of heart; Parker has managed to convince the owners to donate all the food and beverage sales on the day to the cause, he has also without a word, convinced staff to donate their time and wages to the cause as well. I myself am taking it a step further; I will be donating ALL of my tips on the day to the cause, I will also enlist the help of all my friends and followers to come on down and have something to eat and drink...remember that EVERYTHING is being donated!

I promise you all a good time and I also appreciate any of you who do take the time out to swing by and say hi. The band starts around 2PM and the festivities will be going on all day and all night. If you or anyone you know has been touched by cancer in any way; this is your chance to help find a cure, please don't hesitate to come on in and have a good time.

Pouring all day for free so come see me!
