Coming in two weeks! A little more info about the event:

Music is the Weapon is a party for NPOs. My goal’s to raise funds for the participating groups, promote their cause, and create a space for networking opportunities. I also want to celebrate their choice of work and fuel the drive for everyone attending to pass it forward. Each group will get their own booth/table where they can pass out material, accept donations, sell merch, build mailing lists and party up with their peers and a free bottle of champagne courtesy of Between. Groups are also encouraged to get on the mic and represent their cause. Everyone is invited to come, learn about each NPO, dance and buy someone a drink as 15% of the bar goes to the group that brings the most people. I really hope this event is a success, and if it picks up speed and a buzz, I plan to blow it up, find better bar deals, bigger spaces and more ways to use the party atmosphere to funnel energy and resources towards those who work for the cause alone. “Music is the Weapon 10” will be on some next level-ish.

While organizing for HipHop Congress in my college days, I used to talk to one of my guys Matt Harsh, about how some of our best, most inspired ideas came up during a party or at a bar. There’s something about the vibe (blame it on the a-a-a-a-alco-hold up nahhhh) that seems to conjure ideas that weren’t expressed at our weekly meetings. Many of them became our best events. Come through and experience that. Plus, the music will be bumping. Man-O-Wax’s funk collection is top notch, and I consider myself a pretty dope DJ of many styles for getting parties going. Be on the look out for the first “Music is the Weapon” mixtape featuring interviews from each NPO that’s participating this time round. And once again, please come out to the event and spread the word! PEACE - dj limbs
