Big Show = Benefit

Still not sure of the true lineup order...but I wanted to get this benefit up on the front page again. As BobDead says on the forums:

"The show is a benefit for Alex Svoboda. Who, on August 11th 2007, was the victim of unnecessary police brutality while participating in an IWW march against Jacky’s Galaxie restaurant in North Providence. After the cops had asked the group to move to a certain designated area several officers took the opportunity to make a vicious example of Alex by beating her, breaking her left leg, pepper spraying her, and then having the nerve to charge her with assaulting three officers, resisting arrest and obstructing *justice*. All the procedes will go towards her legal defense and her never ending hospital charges. Band together!"

The bands and other artists will be selling a bunch of stuff too, which will add to the Benefit fund to varying degrees.

Oh...and did you notice...OLNEYVILLE SOUND SYSTEM is playing!
