So somebody emails us and goes, “Holiday time is more than just stupid f’in holiday cards, isn’t it?” and we sigh with relief and go, hell yeah it is. And then we realize this is actually a plug for what they think holiday time is all about.
The cause is KCA Rebels, a liaison between Keep a Child Alive and Blender and the usual college hipsters who all want to be in bands and get famous. The winning band gets a record contract and a feature in Blender, but mainly this is to “promote awareness” (we love that phrase) about … hm. Something related to keeping children alive. We’re almost sure of it.
And because we were asked to, we’ll link to this FLiP article too. Upon closer inspection it occurred to us the article has little or nothing to do with KCA Rebels and more to do with giving for the holidays with a web 2.0 tie-in to Facebook. And since this is completely fucking all over the place anyway, guess what? We’re listening to Madonna’s “Lucky Star” right now. And to give this an appropriate philanthropic tie-in, we’re thinking of donating something to the kids at St. Jude. And for the requisite hipster 2.0 tie-in, lookie lookie – we’re blogging about it.
