Our Friends Helped Us Raise A Whole Bunch of Money and Food for The Mercy Center of Asbury Park

The Jolly Daggers sent everybody home smiling last night at Porta.

Thanks!

I just wanted to say a few quick words of thanks to everyone who played, donated to, worked on, and came out to our show yesterday at Porta in Asbury Park. Together we raised $1100 and an Escalade full of canned goods to donate to Asbury Park's Mercy Center. We also had a wonderful time doing it.

Thanks to Porta and their entire staff for giving us the room and for letting us shake their whole building for about seven straight hours.

Thanks to all the performers -- Chris Brown, The Rock N Roll HiFives, Renee Maskin, TV Tramps, Dan Waszay, Black Flamingos, Overlake, Dentist, and The Jolly Daggers -- for donating their time and putting on great sets. I'm happy to call all of these bands friends, and you should absolutely check them out whenever you see that they're playing.

Thanks to everyone who donated to our charity auction: Augmented Asbury Park, Chunksaah Records, Phil Shepherd Photography, Rebel Supply, Big Slick Pomade Company, Scotch LaRock, Russo Music, Coffee Haüs Studios, and Little Dickman Records.

Thanks to Charlie Schafer for running the sound and managing the show.

Thanks to my partners in crime on this and several other cool things that made this year very special for me, Chris Yaniak and Amy Dickman of Little Dickman Records.

And Thanks to everyone who came out to support such a good cause on a Sunday afternoon along with anyone I, in my absent-mindedness, may have forgotten to mention. Let's do it all again next year!

I'll post some more pictures later, but also be on the lookout for shots from our great buds, Phil Shepherd and Mike Petzinger.

Happy Holidays, and keep rocking!
