« When the world is bringing you down | Main | That time of year »
Remember how riled up everyone got about the 3rd Floor Club this summer, how people either loved it or hated it with the fiery passion of 1,000 suns? Well, in an attempt to promote the cooler acts there, in hopes that it will no longer be the cheese-ball locale that it is, I am advancing Lord bass and Kinetics' next show.
Thursday, Feb. 2
Portsmouth Gas Light
3rd Floor Club
DJs Lord Bass & Kinetic
Progressive house & techno
21+ | 9p | $5
I also have to give a shout out to one of my favorite non-profits in the area. On Friday, Feb. 3, the Kittery Youth Connection/Kittery Chemical Awareness and Prevention will be holding a silent and live auction at their head-quarters on Shapleigh Road -- across the street from Brooks and next to the Post Office.
This group is a great after school program that gives kids a place to do their homework, play games, work on art projects, have a snack and hang out with their friends. It's a wonderful service, especially to single parents who don't want to leave their 12-year-old home alone but can't afford to do anything else.
The organization's overall goal is to promote an anti-drug message, not only by telling kids that drugs are bad, but showing them there are other things to do after school besides raid mom and dad's liquor cabinet.
About 50 kids go there everyday and up until recently, functioned on small private donations and grants. Now the grant money has dried up and the community has stepped forward to help raise money.
The items up for auction include spa gift certificates, ski packages, antiques, free dinners at local restaurants and lobsters. If you feel like doing something nice for the community before heading out on Friday night, please, swing over to Kittery and buy something, or simply make a donation. Thanks!

What's the Lord Bass and Kinetic show and how will it detract the cheese-balls? Obviously since I don't know who they are I'm still too old to fit in there anyway!
