Hello to those dedicated to domestic democracy!

I announce a happening that will get your seratonin simmering:

The second fundraiser for Gov. Howard Dean, MD at Ringside, home of the
best party in town is on New Year's Eve's Eve, December 30th!

The last event on July 31st was a total success, raising close to
$5,000, with live music by The Sames. This new party is presented as the
Primo Piatto to July's Antipasta.

Live music my go*machine sets the climate perfectly for internationally
minded attention to the potential richness of life. Here are reviews of
their music from www.gomachinemusic.com:

"GO MACHINE is epically unafraid of sonic risk, implanting turntable,
Theremin, and violin escapades ... amidst refrains that are almost too
memorable, leaving one absolutely breathless!"
~The Independent Weekly

"With well-received discs by Radiohead, Grandaddy and Broken Social
Scene already making this a great year for brave pop music, GO MACHINE's
sad-eyed country-electro-rock fusion should not be overlooked. This is
excellent stuff that doesn't deserve to be underground for much longer.

The fundraising goal for the December 30th party is set at $1000. We can
hit this mark with everyone's support, and there's no need to wait!

I look forward to seeing all of you there, (if not at Ringside Sat, Dec
20th for the Lineaist artshow and FAME "Naughty or Nice" Christmas Party!)

Continued thanks and holiday cheer,
Jonathan Blackwell
