Are you Beastie? Performers needed for cancer benefit



Buffalo based independent hip-hop label DTR 45 brought Allentown "Being B.I.G.," a Biggie Smalls inspired fundraising event.  They're at it again this September with a night dedicated to the music of the Beastie Boys and hopes to raise funds for blood cancer awareness.

"Being B.I.G. was so successful that we wanted to figure out where to go with it next. In the wake of Beastie Boys founder MCA's untimely passing after his own bout with cancer, Damon [Bodine] and I both agreed it was a good time to pay tribute to one of the most popular musical groups in history… and Being Beastie was born," said DTR founder Tony Caferro.

Do you have what it takes to be Beastie?  It's a night meant for community and togetherness, thus the event is open for local performers to do their favorite Beastie Boy covers.  Whether you're a practicing performer, or can recite all the lyrics to "Brass Monkey" while you drive to work, everyone is welcome to sign up. Just email your information to being.signup@gmail.com.

  1. Eat a healthy breakfast. Eating after a good night's rest is essential for keeping your body fully charged. Choose complex carbohydrates such as oatmeal with milk, or whole wheat toast with cheese for a positive start to the day. Breakfast reduces hunger and prevents unnecessary snacking. Thanks a lot.

  2. Ovarian cancer is a cancerous growth arising from the ovary. Symptoms are frequently very subtle early on and may include bloating, pelvic pain, difficulty eating and frequent urination, and are easily confused with other illnesses. Thanks.
