Para sa Gawad Kalinga

Bionic Leg Music presents "Para sa GK" a benefit show at Frazier's on the Avenue.  All proceeds will go to Gawad Kalinga.  It just hit me that for a mere price of a Gibson Les Paul or a PRS Custom, you could build a house for the poor in the Philippines and make a difference to one family.  To be able to make a small sacrifice and change a famiy for the better forever is something very worthwhile.  Ok, so wait, no I'm not selling my guitars, I simply just can't part with them.Laughing  But hey, the next best thing is on May 10th, 2008 when some of the best and newest bands in the Baltimore area will be performing and donating all the money to Gawad Kalinga.  We are hoping to raise enough money to build at least one house.  Come join us.

Goodbye, Tagbilaran

To all my Pop Times and Infamas friends,

I was on my way home to Seattle, WA. I left DC on Mar. 2, 2008. Stopped by Ohio to help out with the Hillary Campaign on the 3rd and the 4th. Left Norwalk, OH on Tuesday night.

At approximately 10:25 pm on March 5, 2008 , I was driving down I-29 in Iowa and was rear ended by a Semi. My car was totalled including my beloved Tagbilaran. I guess it was not meant to be. Now, I just have to build me a new one.

As for me, God has just given me a new lease on life. I got away with just bruises, head, neck and backache.

Let's rededicate ourselves in helping each other to grow as artists and people. Thank you for all the support. More power to all of you.

Nate

P.S. Presently, I am now back in Silverdale, WA with my family. Its been a strange road trip but worth all the experiences and people I have met, some of which belong to our beloved Pop Times and Infamas.

Questions about our future

NOBODY said it is going to be easy.
There will be detractors. There will be hardships. There will be tears.
Yet, what joy will any victory be without adversity and pain?

Our Filipino-American music scene is on the brink– it hangs in a balance that could tip towards life or death. It is so dynamic, just as life itself.
New artists are being born, while existing ones are facing their ends. Emerging scene players are pulsating with possibilities, while old timers are now looking back at the days gone by.
The very scene that we hold dear is faced with a question: What will become of the future when the ones making it happen now fade into the horizon?

Every little community in our scene from San Francisco, to Chicago, to Maryland, to New Jersey has to answer.
The ones who have gone before us and laid the foundations of the scene that we now know, have given their appreciation to all of us who have continued what they have started.
However, nobody can ignore the writing on the wall: Our tenure is not forever.
Who then will take the beloved scene to heights only we can imagine?
