Anthem Magazine Host Bone to Party


Hello friends!  It has been a good week here on the elephant front: Jasmina (my old boss's daughter) has found a good match to donate bone marrow!! (Well, she personally didn't find the match, y'know, she's 6...) This means that she will receive a life lengthening (and hopefully life saving!!) transplant some time in the next month.  I am so pleased and relieved, and I know that many of my friends joined the registry as a result of my little cause (read: my incessant nagging).

I just read that Anthem Magazine is hosting a party at Santos Party House on Saturday night to register potential donors, and raise money for DKMS.  DKMS is a wonderful organization that spearheaded the hunt for Jasmina's donor.  They tirelessly worked with hundreds of volunteers over the last few months organizing events coast to coast.  

Guess who's playing at this party?  Real Estate!  Remember them?  Okay, well you should, because I think that they might get big...they have a lot of shows scheduled around the city this spring.  I'm not sure if that means anything, but i like them, and I like that they are involved in a bone marrow event.  And now I really like Anthem....So if you are in the city this weekend, you should go!  I'm going to Boston so I'm going to totally miss out, which makes me sad.  Open Bar from 7-8 PM, free give-aways (including tiffany's jewelry? jigga whaaa?)....   

Ok friends, happy hump day, see you soon*
