Just thought I would do my part to help spread the word in addition to, you know, doing my actual job spreading the word.
Rather than stay home and play Wii Tennis when her Japan tour was canceled last week, Hilary decided to perform for Japan if she couldn’t perform in Japan. She will play four concerts to help raise money for Direct Relief International (MD, GA, and NY concerts) and for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (VA concert). 100% of the proceeds will be sent to these charities and both charities have pledged 100% of the money will go to Japan relief and recovery funds.
Here are the dates, times and cities. The Brooklyn show includes friends of Life’s a Pitch Chris Thile (who once decided my nickname would be “The Spinster”…groan), Josh Ritter (who named my company!) and Caleb Stine (who’s seen me Duckpin Bowl).
