Celebrate Crystal's Birthday!

... by funding In for a Penny :)

Penny for your thoughts It's Crystal Keith's birthday,* and all she wants is funding for her original play!   From experimental theatre to classic rock to children's music education, my amazing wife now levels up her playwriting career by self-producing her first standalone play, coming to the Hollywood Fringe in June! Already more than halfway to her goal of $7000, we'd be so grateful for any amount of support you can give to make her dream come true for this time-travelling investigation of the victims of Jack the Ripper. Whether you can donate or not, please stop by the Broadwater Plunge tomorrow 4/13 for Happy Hour birthday drinks starting at 5:30!   SUPPORT IN FOR A PENNY *ok it was yesterday IN FOR A PENNY GOFUNDME Listen to Conference of the Birds on Bandcamp! Support Semele's Music Education Forward to a friend! Life is painful. It has thorns, like the stem of a rose. Culture and art are the roses that bloom on the stem. . . . The flower is yourself, your humanity. Art is the liberation of the humanity inside yourself.  - Daisaku Ikeda Copyright © 2024 Jacob Sidney, All rights reserved.

Support Semele's Music Education Forward to a friend! While celebrating the unique characteristics of different peoples and cultures, we must create solidarity on the level of our common humanity, our common life. Without such solidarity, there will be no future for the human race. Diversity should not beget conflict in the world, but richness.  - Daisaku Ikeda

"Goodness" can be defined as that which moves us in the direction of harmonious coexistence, empathy and solidarity with others. The nature of evil, on the other hand, is to divide: people from people, humanity from the rest of nature.  - Daisaku Ikeda Copyright © 2023 Jacob Sidney, All rights reserved.
