Tonight & This Weekend in Rock: Benefit Me

Flight of the Conchords hit Amoeba Records in Hollywood
The Flight of the Conchords play two sold-out (boo!) concerts this weekend via their MySpace page

There are two upcoming music fundraising events of interest. At King King on Sunday, Ben Lee, Crash Kings and DJ David Roberti will all play a benefit concert to raise funds for a school that will serve the children of the Tashirat Orphanage and the impoverished children in the surrounding community of Tepoztlan, Mexico. Enough funds need to be raised by June 2nd in order for the school to open. The school will provide a safe haven where children receive basic necessities as well as the tools they need to flourish as individuals and achieve their dreams and highest potential, says organizer Marisa Godoy. It goes from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., but the open wine bar will only serve from 7-9 p.m. ($25)

Then on Thursday, June 5, The Indie Rock Easel featuring Buddy, Waz, Arrica Rose, The Deadly Syndrome, and Miss Derringer will play at Red Heat to raise money for local charities. 100% of the profits will be donated to Sojourn Services for Battered Women and their Children, and The Silverlake Conservatory of Music, according to their website. There will be an open bar and t-shirts designed by local bands ($7).

Please enlighten me about the Hollywood Bowl's BYOB policy... I've read that is only allowed at LA Philharmonic events and not 'leased' events. BUT I saw plenty of people with booze when I was there for the Jay-Z show.
Trying to decide whether to bring stuff tomorrow for the cure... thoughts?
