The String Cheese Incident: Food For Thought
We know that Fuji Rock Fest will have its share of extended jams. Sure to bring a few surprise guests onstage (we hope) will no doubt be popular jam-band The String Cheese Incident. The Colorado-based sextet will play the Green Stage on Friday morning (11 to 11:45am), and they and all their phreaky phriends will be at play in the Field Of Heaven on Saturday night from 7:30 to 11pm.
With "jam" meaning something a little more important to the hungry all over the world, including SCI's present-day U.S. of A., their 2006 Summer Tour is aimed at helping out.
According to the band's website, SCI will be holding food drives at nearly all of the dates on their 2006 Summer Tour across America. They will be offering free, limited-edition tour posters by artist Michael Brown to each fan that brings 10 non-perishable food items to the show.
What does this mean for Japan? Well, since Conscious Alliance is a grassroots American charity, it probably means good intentions and raised-awareness. Which is a good thing.
If you live here in Nippon, you can help feed some of our own. Head over to Second Harvest and lend a hand. Or better yet, send them some "bread" for their extended "jam".
