our dear friend Mollie Fischer, cellist & human extraordinaire, has a family tragedy that we DNN are trying to support her about. She has this adorable 21-year-old brother, Joe, who had a terrible accident a few weeks ago and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Mollie, her sister Rachel, and Silky Shoemaker (of Camp Camp fame & 1000 other creative madnesses) are throwing a benefit this Sunday, Dec. 13, to raise money toward his recovery costs. You probably know Mollie through one of her musical projects, such as Hello Lovers, Amanda Mora, the Dreadful Sorry, the musical Faster Than the Speed of Light, or any other stage-struck moment a performer was lucky enough to have her join in.

She and her partner Erica Nix alone go a long way toward powering the grid that is Art in Austin.

Please join us in supporting Mollie and her family & a big chunk of the creative community they have fueled. You are welcome please to re-post!! If you would like to help in additional capacities like bringing food, donating art/ gifts for auction, or working the door or such, please reply to this email.

- big item 2:

i hear tell you are buying gifts for yr friends, family, co-workers, and, if you're like me, a healthy portion for yourself. in this season i am gaining deep satisfactions from supporting friends' and local art. i mean monetarily, not just lip-service. how 'bout you?

a rewarding place to start (that is both enjoyable for the receiver and beneficially reflects upon the giver as a super-cool individual): "Rocket", the 2009 release by Darling New Neighbors.

*** www.cdbaby.com/cd/dnneighbors ***  -only $12.97 with art, $10 without - (you should really get the art, tho)

- side-issue 3:

have you seen my goddamn bike, mfcker? give it back.

stolen 11/21/09, e. 6th & navasota: brown Motobecane cruiser from the 60s, ~7-speed, with scrubby, peeling paint-job, and brand-new seat and wheels. please re-post!! email darlingnewneighbors@yahoo.com

hey if y're on top of yr shit, maybe you are thinking of some things you might buy some people for the holidays gift-time. i humbly suggest that one of the greatest visual & aural pieces of art from the last year is "Rocket", which you can get online or at Waterloo Records in Austin.

it is pretty ridikkulous cheap & is a no-brainer way to support yr local economy, yr DNN, an array of other helper artist-types involved, plus w/ the undeniable self-indulgent benefit of: ROckin Yr World.

we're playing twice in coming weeks.

-- look out for next week !! Thurs., Nov. 19, at Lambert's, with Buttercup & Tiny Adventurers, 10pm!!

and in the meantime . .

THIS Thursday 11/12
