Some of you may know that I've been working with my good friend Miles Megaciph to start a not-for-profit entertainment organization called ThatsGoodness.

We just got the wonderful news yesterday that we've received our official designation as a 501c3 charitable organization! So if anyone knows anyone who's looking to make some donations for tax reasons, give me a shout!

I never thought that I could actually be excited about the prospect of more grant-writing!

And you should also totally come out to our weekly Wednesday night event at 210 Rivington Street in the Lower East Side - we will be celebrating enthusiastically this evening!

(many thanks to Radical Kid for the wonderful logo design)

"Danny asked me who I'd been listening to recently, and I told him Ice-T. He was surprised, but he shouldn't have been. A few years earlier, Kurtis Blow, a rapper from Brooklyn who had a hit out called "The Breaks," had asked me to be on one of his records and he familiarized me with that stuff, Ice-T, Public Enemy, N.W.A., Run-D.M.C. These guys definitely weren't standing around bullshitting. They were beating drums, tearing it up, hurling horses over cliffs.They  were all poets, and knew what was going on. Somebody different was bound to come along sooner or later who would know that world, been born and raised with it... be all of it and more. Someone with a chopped topped head and a power in the community. He'd be able  to balance himself on one leg on a tightrope that stretched across the universe and  you'd know him when he came - there'd be only one like him. The audience  would  go that way, and I couldn't blame them. The kind of music that Danny and I were making was archaic."

We'll be performing as the 'featured artist' at inaugural Vital Movement event, hope to see you there!
