DJs for Peace
Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Short notice but I wanted to shout about a benefit tonight for DJs for Peace (a new initiative being brought to you by local peace/hip-hop activist Cindy Diggs). As a local DJ/Peace and Global studies graduate and Cindy fan I am definitely there. Not only that but the lineup looks amazing.
Here are the deets. But even if you can’t go, send some love Cindy’s way. She is doing amazing work as always.
