On the bright side of storm-related news, the 2009 hurricane season just ended, and to say goodbye Evacuteer.org is throwing a big party tonight at Republic. The Stooges Brass Band and MyNameIsJohnMichael will perform, and there will be an open bar and food provided by Langenstein’s. The party goes from 7-10:30, and there is a $20 required donation, 100% of which will go to Evacuteer.org.
