FRICTION NYC

Hey everyone, CrackersUnited is proud to announce our upcoming:

When: Tuesday, September 27th @ 8pm

Where: Rothko (Suffolk & Rivington)

Why: To benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina by donating all proceeds to Oxfam America’s hurricane relief efforts

Who: “Special Guest” • Other Passengers • The Diggs • The Go Station • The Upwelling • and DJ Nora K

How much: $10 @ the door (cheap!)

We have all seen the devastation and horrific conditions that the people of the Gulf Coast are suffering under. Many of us here at CU are from the south and have many friends and family from across the area, and — like most New Yorkers — we have felt a strong need to do something big to help those who perhaps aren’t being reached by the traditional relief groups.

In selecting Oxfam America to receive this show’s benefit, we aim to help the rural and urban poor who are traditionally underserved, marginalized and un-noticed by this otherwise wealthy society. The Gulf Coast suffers under poverty rates nearing 20%, and now — in this moment of need — their plight is only highlighted. Here is our chance to make a big difference.

At the show, we will be selling event-related t-shirts and mardi-gras beads to help raise money. So come with your wallets open and your ears ready to hear a great show for a wonderful cause. Every little bit helps.

And don’t forget to grab a goodie-bag, either!
