Lmao you're a real piece of work. The reason homeless services go on the north side is because we haven't lost all semblance of humanity up here while still pretending to be better than everyone else. Keep your pretentious ass and your rose smelling bullshit far away from the actual human beings who just want to help.

We want them to be treated like human beings. Period. Your exaggerated, condescending attempts to paint people who want other people to be treated like people are as transparent as your attempts to make advocates out as naive idealists.

Go peddle your bullshit somewhere else, or come be a part of the solution. As it stands, you're the dude standing in the middle of the road bitching about cars wanting special treatment.

Even as a non-profit, that isn't nearly enough. At that point, find somebody who believes in whatever cause you're supporting to donate their time. Offering $50 to a band is an insult.

Edit: just saw "20 minute sets." They'll spend more time setting up than they will playing at that rate. Also, is a PA provided? Sound guy being paid?

My advice? Get one act, pay them everything you were going to pay the multiple acts, far less headache and hurt feelings.

The Blue House Project involves buying houses around the Fairbanks, gutting and remodeling them, and then getting low income families into them. I know of at least 5 houses so far, the latest one is their biggest project yet.

The Fairbanks has a multitude of community programs, from food distribution to community meals to a cheap bicycle shop to hosting AIM outreach events to running the Springfield Community Garden's market garden. Oh, and a program teaching community members how to handle finances, that also provides cash incentives and material things like new computers for participation and completion of the program.
