The Word, Vol. 4

Love Street is back with the first Word of 2010!

Volunteer Meeting March 13

Join us next Saturday at noon to learn how you can get involved with Love Street. We’ll be talking about specific areas of need but also calling on your creativity to explore opportunities for growth of our programs. This will also include discussion of volunteer opportunities for the Come Togtether event.

The meeting will be held at Bohemeos, which is 708 Telephone Rd. at Lockwood. You can see a map at its website,www.bohemeos.com.

There is no need to RSVP, but please feel free to call or write Patrick if you have any questions. His contacts are 713-256-9007 and patrick@lovestreetlightcircus.org.

Come Together

Planning and preparations for Come Together continue and remain well on track for September 17. Tickets will go on sale on May 15. The full website (www.cometogetherhouston.com) will go live some time before that. You can get the latest news atwww.patrickwaites.com.

We anticipate that this event will get a lot of publicity, so it would be a great opportunity to associate your company’s name with a good cause. We already have several corporate sponsors. If you would like more information on the sponsorship levels and benefits, please contact patrick@lovestreetlightcircus.org.

We are also currently seeking members for our host committee. As a host committee member your job is simple: buy a ticket and encourage your friends to do the same. Your service on the host committee will serve as a signal to others that this is not only an event that they should support but also one at which they know they will have fun. If you are up to this daunting task, please contact patrick@lovestreetlightcircus.org.

Hope for Haiti Benefit

Thanks to everyone who came out to 13 Celsius in support of Hope for Haiti. Ian and Mike were great hosts, and Terri DiRaddo brought it all together. Thanks of course also to Andy DiRaddo of LD Systems, which provided sound, and the bands: Girl Friday, Kozmic Pearl and it alter ego Zig-Zag, and Tie-Dye Sky. Speaking of Tie-Dye Sky…

One Last Band Message

We received reports of some confision about our last message concerning the spin-off of the band, so we will give it one last comment.

Love Street is not about any one band. It is about the music community helping children’s charities. Although the Love Street band was a great way to get the word out, it also confused the message. Lots of bands have participated in Love Street! And lots more will in the future. In effect, they are all Love Street bands.

But the Love Street band did not, well, disband. It just is doing its own thing under a new name, Tie-Dye Sky. It remains actively involved with Love Street, including Come Together and other performances for children’s charities. But you can also see it out around town. The best way to keep track of it is to become a “fan” on Facebook or to join the mailing list atwww.tiedyeskyband.com or www.reverbnation.com/tiedyesky.
