Lotta people off to Rollercon in the loathsome hole popularly known as Las Vegas, 07/30 - 08/03. Bring back your pics and clips and one of those "Roll Out with Your Hole Out" shirts, men's large, and we'll make a feeble attempt at making it worth your while. For those about to rock, we salute you.

Now that The Coroner has spoken, your weekend plans are set!
In case you were planning on something else to occupy your weekend (perish the thought), here are a few more deets that might change your mind:
The Funky4Plus1More (which includes TeKillYa, No Namey, Sol Train and two other brave, though not Heartless funksters) are launching their craft into the foul Willamette River at the Red Bull Flugtag on the waterfront all in the name of raising funds for the Sherie Hildreth Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. Definitely follow one of the links above, cheer them on, and if you can, consider contributing to this worthy cause. Last I heard they had already raised in the neighborhood of $4000 (!) for the SHOC Foundation, but with your help they want to get that number even higher!
Speaking of putting the "fun" in fundraising, as The Coroner mentioned, Rogue's 14th Annual Bones and Brew is a benefit for the Oregon Zoo (well, it also benefits those quaffing the tasty brews and delicious BBQ). But what you may not have known is that the Heathers benefit too! When you tip the kind Heather (or Heather's Widower) who pours your beer your gratuity goes straight to the team; so you can feel good and tell everybody that you're getting your buzz on to help not one, but two worthwhile causes!
Hope to see you all there!
