Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

On Saturday October 2, 2010 at the Beacon Theater in NYC we went to Comedy Central's "Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert for Autism Education" charity event. Before going into the theatre we went to the red carpet where we snapped photos of several performers and attendees including: John Oliver, Sarah Silverman, Ricky Gervais, Olivia Munn, Jim Gaffigan, Steve Carrell, and Lewis Black (more photos in my Flickr gallery). Watch for our interview video with several of these folks.

Jon Stewart hosts this event in support of autism education as done by the www.NewYorkCenterForAutism.com. The performances that evening were amazing, and well worth tuning in when the show broadcasts on Comedy Central at 9pm on October 21, 2010, with live auctions, call ins, and additional performances. Text STARS to 90999 to donate $10 to the "Night of Too Many Stars" charity.
