THE DREAM

KAFE KISKEYA creates a comfortable space for folks from various parts of the city to meet in & share time together. ~ KISKEYA is the Taino Indian word for Mother of the Earth & is what the Island of Hispaniola, including Haiti & Dominican Republic, was called before Columbus arrived over 500 years ago, a time when all of the inhabitants lived in harmony. ~ THE DREAM is for all of humanity to once again live together peacefully on this Earth. By spending time together, we can make that dream a reality!

After that we are going to head over to Main Street Cafe and play a show we were asked to be on kinda last second. We are playing with this really sweet band called The New Frontiers. They are on The Militia Group (Copeland, Appleseed Cast, The Rocket Summer) and are about to head out on tour with Manchester Orchestra soon! So we'll be playing there around 9:00 approx. So come see us play acoustic then follow us over to mainstreet for a full band sound! It will be a good time.

Saturday night, we are playing at The Record Bar with Story of the Sea (Minnesota) and The Belated (Another KC band)... so that will be fun as well. This is a 21+ show, so all of you who are under 21 should come hang out with us Friday. Older crowd is welcome Saturday night. This show will start at 10:00 and we are playing first so come out early and hang out!

Life is Fair by Sam Davidson

In honor of Fair Trade Month, make sure you shop a bit differently this weekend. Fairly traded products allow those involved in the process to earn a fair wage. As such, your choice to choose a certain kind of coffee, chocolate or clothing means that someone else can live a little bit better, send their children to school, and afford adequate medical care. However, 'fair trade' means more than pricing. It also means that democratic processes were used in the negotiating process, and that the environment was taken care of properly during production. Celebrate by shopping with a conscience.
