From Leigh Feldman:
Things I'm currently jocking…
Free ish… We have 2 tix to the Jus Noise Hip Hop Festival for Friday & Saturday w/ Jern Eye & Rob Swift, tix to the Rose City Rollers documentary screening, the Beat Off Battle next Wednesday, 3 pairs of tix to Live & Direct and passes to The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus! Wanna win any of them? Forward this email to a friend, have them write us asking to join the group and we'll enter you both in a drawing to win! (These are from Leigh, not Pipeline. Email him to join his list & win: leighfeldman3 @ gmail)
Free music ish… http://therub.crewcial.org/ITMFR3.mp3 Starting the new year off with one of the first mix tapes sent to me for 2010. It's from the dj collective The Rub from NYC. Awesome flips of vocals you'll recognize and 100% perfect for a party!
Awesome Ish… Tonight is the Launch Party for The Phunktion w/ Philly's Phunkestra Soul Orchestra @ The Crown Room. It's live band New Orleans style funk, $2 pints, FREE entry and it kicks off a little before 10pm!
This list is growing by leaps and bounds. Turn to the person next to you and see if they are reading the same email. If not, forward it to them and tell them to join the community.
Life is a party, everyone is just waiting to be invited.
See you all out and about! Leigh Feldman
