is proud to present their 5th, yep, 5th annual benefit for the Mission Hill
Little League. For those of you who have come to "The
Pig" in the past, you know this is our biggest party of the year! The
band does two sets, everyone gets fed and loaded and throws money in the can -
last year y'all raised just over $700 in voluntary donations for the kids - we're
shooting for $1K this year!! And to think it all started when we found out about
the Rastafarian kid whose dreadlocks wouldn't fit into a batting helmet- well,
by coming to the show (which is FREE) and donating whatever you can directly to
the kids, you can help get the kids to bat!...not to mention off the streets,
etc….Ok - details: FRIDAY MAY 7th @ THE PARADISE 8pm Doors - FREEEEEE!
