Now, normally I don’t shill on my blog. I’ve had offers of things to “review” or links to add, but I always turn them down because I don’t believe in promoting things because, well, I just don’t. That’s not what you come here for. (What do<\/em> you come here for, anyway?) However, one of my top three favorite honorary Jews asked me to plug his benefit show (not sure who the other two are, but I don’t want him to get a big head), and I don’t want to be a grinch about the whole thing. Okay, here’s the truth: I’m plugging him because in his very personal (read: form) letter, he called me “an influential local blogger.” Who am I to turn down flattery like that? Plus, it’s his daughter Mimi who’s going to be living with Pie at NYU, so I need to be his good graces so he’ll take turns with me hauling our asses down to NYC to bail the two of them of jail. Here’s what my buddy has to say:<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m the guitar player in the Vivs<\/a>, an Arlington-based band of some modest renown. To help out the Children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Room<\/a>, a non-profit organization in Arlington that provides support to bereaved children and teens, we put together this holiday benefit show at Arlington\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Regent Theatre.<\/p>\n

We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had some nice press already, including a piece by Jonathan Perry in the Boston Globe<\/a>. But we certainly can use more, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m reaching out to ask you if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll tell your readers about the show this week.<\/p>\n
