Keeping the music in schools

gitgit.jpg

Returning to San Diego tomorrow. I'm playing a benefit to keep music in schools. This is a charity event to support the Bonsall Education Foundation to fund district-wide music programs that were cut by the California state budget crisis. More information about the event is available here. Tickets for Bonsallpalooza are available at the Bonsall Certified Farmer's Market which is located at the Bonsall Community Center on Old River Road in Bonsall. Get discounted tickets ($30) for this show by emailing: concert@bonsallschools.org with the subject line: Serve Me My Food. The show starts at 8pm

Do something good for once in your fucking lives. You'll be able to tell your friends you give to charity and they'll think you're all philanthropisty. You'll be more sexually attractive to the same or opposite sex. ( whatever you're into ---including animals)

Don't let me down. I'm counting on you. I never ask you for favors but this time I am. I'll hate you forever if you don't show up. 30 bucks is a small amount to make sure we keep churning out weirdos who play music.

Christily yours,
Steve

Although I'm a big supporter of keeping music in schools, I really don't think it's possible for me to make it to San Diego tomorrow....Stupid work! I will be there in spirit, and if there is a way to donate the $30 for the cause, I would be very happy to do so.

It would really suck to be hated by Steve Poltz forever.

I feel so dirty now since i am stuck in PA.........

Steve Poltz you are awesome! Thanks for all you did for the Bonsall Schools. You are the talk of the town. Thanks for autographing my arm. I will never shower again.

Big Fun!

Did you deliberately form your hands to create the same spacing between your fingers, or is that just a result of your natural yogic balance? You're so symmetrical, Steve.

Yummy mustache, Steve!

Posted by: Maureen at August 10, 2009 10:25 AM

Steve,
You were incredible at Bonsallpalooza. Thank you so much for all the support you've shown the kids of Bonsall who love music as much as you do. We'll be sure follow you now on tour.
Much gratitude,
Kim

sorry to have missed your show, i would have dragged my violin fiddlin' kiddo to this one had i known! hate hurts, can we shorten "forever" a bit?

This is a test to see if the comments are finally working. If you are reading this then, YES, THEY FINALLY ARE!!!!!

I'm with you itdoesn'tmatter...now it looks like an armadillo swallowed the beaver!
Don't you know someone who owns a salon? Wax that nonsense!

p.s. with that porn stache you could be the leading gent in "Steve does San Francisco"...

Posted by: Janice at August 15, 2009 12:05 AM

Is that pubic hair on your upper lip?

Posted by: iwasjustwondering at August 18, 2009 10:02 AM

THAT'S NOT FAIR! i would have gone if i knew. next time post it on your myspace too. or blog it or bulletin it. it is a totally worthy cause. i have my teaching credential and couldn't go through with teaching cuz i was spending all my money on supplies, even paper towels so kids could dry their hands after washing them, so it is muy importante that we keep music at the top of the list of school supplies!!!!! right brain, left brain, math, music, connection.

Sorry you missed the show Peg, but it was posted on myspace, it was twittered, and it was listed in the "On With the Shows" section. Now lets get back to some more serious disScussion, like what Steve should do about his mustache. ;)

Posted by: Tussy at August 22, 2009 4:19 AM

HA! love to Tussy.
Dang Steve, you should transfer that buzz-making power from you mustache to the health care debate. Oh wait... :)

Did you have any idea that your facial coiffing tendencies would cause such a stir? You're celebrity up there with the Rev. Jesse Jackson and *I* know. I like it (as if it matters what ANY of us think); you're poised for your film debut as Doc Holiday. ;)

HOORAY for the return of comments. i was feeling suppressed.
