TUNES AGAINST TURMOIL 2: THE MEGA POST

It’s all over. Lots of money has been raised. Tunes Against Turmoil 2 (Or Tunes Against Turmoil II) has been a great success and it’s been over for days now. Every post is complete, and just about everyone involved is resting now. In case you missed it, or if you just wanted an easy listing of what each post did, here it goes:

The first post– explains the goals of Tunes Against Turmoil 2 and the pictures were of people there and events going on

The second post– explains more of what people did, along with the Committee of Conscience table, Dr. Jerry Ehrlich, and Leon Sangster’s poem, “What Courage with Ink and Blood Spilt”

The (intermediate) post– a link to a YouTube video of all of the pictures from the event (made by JerseyMic.com). Unfortunately, Google cut out the song I had in the background. How does everyone else get away with it?

The third post– was the first one to cover bands from the event. Total Failure, Class 6, and Ocean the Legend

The fourth post– was the last coverage posting and covered Marc Ribler, My Name is August, and Alex Siniari & Christian Glomb

That’s all folks.

Double Post Sunday! EHT Jamz on Saturday, May 03, 2009 (pics and videos)

Pratt's Outside

Pratt's Outside

This was my second time going to EHT Jamz ever, but my first time reporting on it. I grabbed a good chunk of pictures (some covered in the Review of EHT Jamz at Pratt’s Hill Of Beans in EHT, New Jersey). So without further ado, here are some pictures from EHT Jamz on Saturday, May 3rd 2009 at Pratt’s Hill Of Beans in NJ:
The night started out with a set from Adam Shaber and his dad, Matt on bongos.

There was a card game going on in the back

They said it was called clock!

As you can see, it must have been SOME kind of game. I asked Adam what his favorite song was from his set. “Ripple by the Grateful Dead“. I caught Vince March tuning outside of Pratt’s before his performance:

Which followed,

Devon Kelly joined Vince in the first song. There are two videos on facebook that (with permission) will be posted to this blog, so keep your eyes open for them! VIDEOS BELOW! I caught a “Panda” outside:

Right before I left, I grabbed a shot of Matt Shaber holding down the beat on the bongos:

And thanks again to Adam and Matt Shaber for bringing out the PA system and making it all possible!
