On Saturday, September 24th, 2011, Faiz Zeppelin, The Blue Line Riders, and The Columbines performed live at a Pig Roast benefit in Chicago, Illinois. This particular Pig Roast has been going on for a half a decade, and was put on by forum member RFF, his family, friends, and neighbors.

The Pig Roast was a benefit for Friends of McPherson whom help support inspired education at a local Chicago elementary school, National MS Society, and the The Merit School of Music, which is a non-profit school that nurtures the talents of under-privileged youth. Donations were made in memory of Eric Jasper.

On Saturday, September 17th, 2011, friends gathered for the celebration of the release of Panic Kit, Laura A. Lionello’s breakout collection of poetry, showcases the author’s deft hand and mastery of voice in dealing with universal themes and truths, such as joy, heartache, loss, suffering, and triumph.

To help celebrate the achievement, Begin By Gathering Supplies, The Columbines, and Mayor For Life performed, and all welcomed Laura on stage to read selections from Panic Kit.
