GLARE OF ROCKETS TONIGHT AT KNITTING FACTORY IN HOLLYWOOD WITH PEACHCAKE, MC LARS AND GET BACK LORETTA.
We always try to keep a close eye on bands in our hometown that are full of talent and building a buzz. Glare of Rockets is just that band. They are fronted by 16 year old Mariah McManus, whose vocal abilities far surpass what is to be expected from someone her age. Glare has the ability to capture your heart after just one listen - whether at their live show or just checking out their tracks on their myspace page (myspace.com/glareofrockets)
Glare plays tonight in hollywood with Peachcake, MC Lars and Get Back Loretta. Their set time is at 8pm sharp, so don't be late. Glare puts on an amazing show and will not disappoint.

Leah Hayes is a writer, illustrator, graphic designer, and oh yeah she fronts a really great band called Scary Mansion.
She's written two amazing graphic novels called Funeral of the Heart, and Holy Moly.
Funeral of the Heart was all created on scratchboard. Remember those black-coated boards with the white underneath that you used in art class? I personally remember a rather tragic tiger that needed eyelashes after I slipped with the pointy-scraper-thing. You know what I'm talking about. Obviously with scratchboard, revision is not possible.

Rosa Loves shares PlaysWell's vision that we must act locally to help in our community. RosaLoves picks specific people to help with their t-shirts. 60% of the cost of every t-shirt goes DIRECTLY into the hands of the person/organization that you picked.
Rosa Loves says: " Everyone has a story. Everyone has a need. By using art and creativity, we hope to foster hope and encouragement through the aid of apparel. Each story will be told through stimulating graphics and actual text that will appear on the inverse of the shirt directly in line with the heart, where the Rosa Loves movement stems from."
Here's how it works:
1. Go to Rosa Loves. 2. Pick a story that moves you. 3. Buy a t-shirt 4. Wear it and feel good, raise awareness, and look awesome.

For over two decades there has been little or no improvement in survival for this age group. By signing this bill, you are supporting the Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Bill of Rights to be established as a standard for care to meet the needs of this underserved population.
