im hoping both camden, msg, boston, and maybe a fla show. i think i haave phillies tix for dc show...but maybe i could swing it
Are you kidding me?? Phillies over a PJ show??? Ummm...ok Im thinking of making a weekend out of the DC show. Maybe head down on the train on Saturday andgo see some sites then the show Sunday night and head home Monday. Been wanting to go down there and do some site seeing so figure this would be the perfect excuse.
An interesting fact about white people is that they firmly believe that all of the world’s problems can be solved through “awareness.” Meaning the process of making other people aware of problems, and then magically someone else like the government will fix it.
This belief allows them to feel that sweet self-satisfaction without actually having to solve anything or face any difficult challenges. Because, the only challenge of raising awareness is people not being aware. In a worst case scenario, if you fail someone doesn’t know about the problem. End of story.
What makes this even more appealing for white people is that you can raise “awareness” through expensive dinners, parties, marathons, selling t-shirts, fashion shows, concerts, eating at restaurants and bracelets. In other words, white people just have to keep doing stuff they like, EXCEPT now they can feel better about making a difference.
Raising awareness is also awesome because once you raise awareness to an acceptable, aribtrary level, you can just back off and say “Bam! did my part. Now it’s your turn. Fix it.”
So to summarize - you get all the benefits of helping (self satisfaction, telling other people) but no need for difficult decisions or the ensuing criticism (how do you criticize awareness?). Once again, white people find a way to score that sweet double victory.
Popular things to be aware of: The Environment, Diseases like Cancer and AIDS, Africa, Poverty, Anorexia, Homophobia, Midde School Field Hockey/Lacrosse teams, Drug Rehab, and political prisoners.
Camden for sure. I'd love to hit up MSG, but it's earlier in the week and would be hard to get away.

I like this part the best... reminds me of people I know....
Wondering what the chances are of these "2nd shows" having 10C tickets..... and I'm damn tempted to hit the first MSG but I have to be on the road by 7AM on the 25th.

Might end up skipping camden though, and starting in DC as it is alot cheaper airfare wise...
