thefruitlands:
XVX Chicago Core. Essay about their album that is linked is below. Boycott Everything is the embodiment of Poison Planet. At face value these two words may seem absurd in conjunction with one another. You can’t possibly boycott everything and why would you want to? But when taken in context the premise is sound. If you don’t believe in something don’t support it. Within...

Great serving tonight. About 15-20 youth in total. Spaghetti with ground round sauce, salad, garlic bread and tomato soup. We set a new Almond Breeze record - we brought about 20 ish cartoons and there was 1 left when we were gone. Huge thank you to our volunteers; Crista, Jaimie, Dylan and Kim as well as our donors Jill and Jennifer.
Good kids win.
