It's the initiative "When the saints go marching in": a bunch of NYC jazz joints will donate portion of their sales to the Red Cross relief fund, starting Sept, 11th thru the 18th. If you can't give up your nightly jazz - completely understandable if you ask me - at least make it work for a greater cause: pay the music cover, get a 5$ drink. Or buy a tix to Jazz at Lincoln center Higher ground benefit concert (on sale Thursday, Sept 8th - www.jalc.org). It would be nice if you could do that AND something else too, say, donate directly to the Red Cross or use on of the many links posted by Pookalu on her malamorian.blogspot.com.
