…And are very happy with the results. We managed to raise $570 so far, and if you still wish to make donations then it will be possible until the 4th. We did better than what I personally expected, and I’m sure other band members as well. We had lots of fun playing with and for you guys.

We’d like to thank everyone who donated, played, and even just watched. Thank you to everyone that stopped by in person, especially those that brought stuff! Also thanks to the Calabros for letting us use their house. We may just consider doing this, or something similar at least, again next year.              ~BlackPawn

The stream has begun!

You can catch us playing at the Ustream link to the right.

You can request songs, add XBlackPawn to play with us or against us.

Don’t forget to donate!

Well the marathon starts tomorrow, and everything is looking good. All the A/V details will be worked out tonight (you might even catch the test stream on our ustream page if you are lucky).

At some point tonight I will be taking the last song requests and posting a more official schedule for the marathon.

Stay tuned!

thanks again to our sponsors!

So after many emails back and forth, the creators of the “Premium Rock Band Drum Covers” are going to be sponsoring our event! Here is their website

During the marathon we will be sporting custom printed shirts created by the Premium Drum Covers team. They will feature our band name, the company name, and some other sponsors.

Also, they will be hosting a sort of prize give-a-way for people who make donations to Child’s Play for the event. Check out the “About” page for the details

I will update with a complete list of sponsors / co-sponsors soon, and possibly a picture of the shirt desgin.

So the Video Stream / Chat pages have been merged and updated. It features an embeded version of our Ustream.tv page (which can be found here) that displays video and a chat room.

Also, the image at the top of the website can be used as a link back to the website homepage!

So we have gotten our first song request on the forums, thanks mike!

As you can see this website is still coming along. We have added the donation function on the right side, so if you already want to donate go right ahead!

Soon there will be a forum for you to post ideas on songs and playlists for us during the marathon. Basically we will be just running down the list of songs for our marathon. But we will also play requested songs / playlists that have been posted in the forums.

So keep a lookout for the forums, they will be up soon!
