Tuneage from Grady, Sleater-Kinney, The Black Keys, Jackpot, Xstereo, Ghetto Pony, Velvet Revolver, Joe Canada & Five Iron Frenzy.

This show costs $10...read the fine print for more info, or just click the damn link.

On August 11, 2005 I am embarking on a bicycle trip of 522 miles in support of the Tour For Kids ride to raise money for the Cancer Camps for Children charity. In Canada approximately 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer annually and another 10,000 are already living with cancer or its long-term effects. Cancer Camps gives them the support they need to enjoy the summer camp experience.

If you regularly read this weblog, or listen to my podcasts, I'm asking each of you to donate $10 to this worthy cause. If all of you podcast listeners do this, we will raise over $25,000 in donations.

To make a donation via PayPal, simply click the donate button below.

Thank you for your generosity.

    Dear Ross,
    Today I was having a look to your blog, I find it very interesting and I saw what you are doing...
    I really would like to thank you for doing this wonderful thing for kids with Cancer, for a simple reason: I was one of them...
    3 years ago here in Italy I was diagnosed with a sarcoma in final stage, and after one month in the "Gemelli" hospital (the Pope's hospital) doctors decided to send me to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC.
    After one month in Rome and one month in NYC doctors were able to start to make some analysis
    I was very lucky because in the end that sarcoma turned to be a carcinoma, which is so much easier to cure, and after 6 month of therapy and a 10 hours surgery: I'm still here!!!
    Since those days I doscovered a completely different world hidden behind the word "cancer" and for this reason I really want to thank you for what you are doing... I hope that your help can de a relief for a lot of kids...
    A very big hug from Rome!!!!
    Daniel
    P.S: I really wanted to be there running with you the 11th; actually after all the hell that I passed through 3 years ago, I'm fighting now next to my dad, now he is the one who is fighting... After the Icann meeting he will start quemo, and I have to be with him...
    In Lux if you have a second I really would like to tell you my story, I'm sure that you are a person that will appreciate it...
