Bands all day, food for sale to benefit the Woodland Sexual and Domestic Violence shelter. There's also a raffle! Tickets are only a buck each and you can win rad stuff including coffee sets, gas cards, gift certificates, t-shirts, gift baskets, art, music and even a TURNTABLE that can burn vinyl directly to a CD.

There's also a bunch of 50% off items in the store that make great holiday gifts. It will be an all-around awesomely fun day, so you should come out and support Gearhead Records and give me job security!

Gearhead Records and Stuff, our retail boutique, is celebrating our One Year Anniversary! On Saturday, November 8 2008 from Noon - 7 PM, come by the store located at 39 5th St. Suite C Woodland CA 95695. This is a free all-ages, non-alcoholic event! We'll have live local bands playing all day, hot dogs and pizza for sale, and a raffle, all to benefit the Woodland Sexual and Domestic Violence Shelter! Go Girl Energy Drink is supplying free beverages while supplies last.

The first band, Mickie Rat's Rat-O-Matic will kick off the party at 12 Noon. The Pizzas will come on at 1 pm followed by The Bathtub Gins at 2 pm, Rat Damage at 3 pm, The Bottom Dwellers at 4 pm, The Jim Rowdy Show at 5 pm and local favorites The Losin' Streaks closing things out at 6 pm. All the bands are local, hailing from Sacramento, Woodland and Vacaville. The music will be a mixture of rock n' roll, punk, and country. Children are welcome and dancing and having fun is encouraged! Goodie Bags will be available for the first 50 attendees to encourage people to arrive in time to see the first band.

Raffle prizes include gift certificates, gift baskets, cds, DVDs, clothing and the grand prize is a Crosley Radio CR248-PA: A record player that records your vinyl to CD as you play it! WOW!!! But you can only enter to win this by coming to the party, so DON'T MISS OUT!!!

Please come out and help us raise some money for the Shelter. I can personally attest to the tremendous service they supply in the area of education and support when dealing with an abusive relationship. If you would like to send donations please make checks payable to Sexual and Domestic Violence Shelter and mail them C/O Gearhead Records PO Box 1386 Woodland CA 95776. We are grateful for your help and support! For more information, call us at 530-662-7877.

Go Vote!

It's election day! Fit time in your day to drop by the polls. I've already voted via absentee. If you have your absentee ballot and didn't mail it, you have to drop it off at a polling place IN YOUR COUNTY. That's important- it's too late to mail it, but you can bring it to any polling place that's in your county.

In California, please vote on the props.
Some of the important ones are:

Prop 2- Vote Yes (Give animals more space)
Prop 4- Vote No (Keep it so minors do not have to report abortions to parents)
Prop 8- Vote No (To keep gay marriage legal)


I would comment on the other props, but I'm no expert, these three are extremely important.

Have a great day! Don't forget, there's a Midtown Monthly party tonight at the Press Club and th' Losin' Streaks play at 10pm. I don't think I can make it, but you should!

Mo' Music Blogs

Although I'm on the internet a lot, I don't know too many music blogs and am trying to extent that. I've been too busy and trying to save money that I haven't visited any record stores (gasp) besides where I work. I'd love to sample some new music and add them on to my purchase list. I just discovered OngakuBaku, which is great, and have been keeping up on System of Romance. Speaking of which, you can get the whole Algebra Suicide collection, which is super hard to find. Great minimalist synth-post punk.

If you know of other great ones, please post them in the comment section.

I'm still in the process of house-hunting and drowning in work. More blog posting soon.........
