Feel the Fielder tonight at Station

Okay, maybe not literally, but tonight you will want to be at Station in Ballard for the Feel the Fielder benefit concert.  As discussed in my last post, Jeff Fielder had his instruments stolen when he was on the road with Sera Cahoone and tonight is the benefit concert to help him get back on his musical feet.  It’s going to be a great time with a lot of great musicians (click for the flyer).  Additionally, there will be a silent auction featuring cool local art and a raffle including great prizes by such sponsors as Pyramid Alehouse, Ocho, Tilth, Sonic Boom, Highway99, SwirlyGig, and more!  Come on out, have a great time, and show your support.

The CrapMonkey Podcast Episode #130

Fielder Toon

It’s the first day of Fall and what better way to celebrate than with a CrapMonkey Podcast.  First off, I want to invite you to a benefit for Jeff Fielder who recently had some of his favorite instruments stolen while he was on the road with Sera Cahoone.  It will be at Station in Ballard on October 3rd (download flyer) and you may also make a donation to the Fielder cause via PayPal (note: I accidently said Oct 4th in the podcast – please note my slip of the tongue!).  In this episode, we chat about technology topics including the Democratic National Convention Online Media Gallery, Chrome, Internet Explorer 8 beta 2, and Zune 3.0.  We also chat about some low tech but useful gadgets including the SwirlyGig and the Ring Thing.  In beer news, Budweiser released their newest beer American Ale (strangely released shortly after being bought by InBev).  Finally, I want to encourage you to check out the History Hackers pilot which airs Friday on the History Channel.

The song of the day is (fittingly) Rob You Blind by Jeff Fielder and the show closes on Last Disguise, also by Jeff Fielder.  The website of the day is ThrilltheWorld.com.
