divineMAGgees : female rock duo

I just got back from Nashville, TN a few days ago, and while I was there I went to go see some music acts at Third and Lindsley. The first band, Divine MAGgees was a female folk duo who were really great. Their vocal harmonies and guitar/violin combo sounded great. Plus they seemed very nice, one of them smiling and thanking the 10 person auidence after every song. They have recently moved to Asheville, NC and are playing gigs around the southeast. I hope they make their way out west sometime!

Shop to Fight Poverty

My favorite grocery store, Whole Foods, just gave me even more reason to shop there this Tuesday. 5% of sales on Tuesday will be going to help fight poverty through micro-lending! I'm just going to have to do without milk this weekend until I get a chance go buy some there.

Eco-Luxury car service in NYC

Check out this car service in NYC that allows you to cruise around in a Hybrid instead of a normal taxi! Its "Luxury" since each car is decked out with an i-Book and satellite radio, and a little on the pricey side.
