My sincerest wishes of health and safety to everyone in the Gulf States.

Props to my homie who, due to a misplaced digit, donated $1500 (!) to the Red Cross on Friday. I know it's no Puffy-Jay-Z million dollar split, but you still did good, mang. God bless you.

The folks over at Stones Throw Records are auctioning some of their wares toward relief efforts.

Organizations for Hurricane and Flood relief:

Everyone take care and do what you can.
