End of Summer :(

Well guys, the time has come. Time to face reality that summer is almost over. ): Does going back to school and work affect your RSD? Do all of the weather changes affect your RSD? For me the hardest season change is fall going in to winter. The cold makes it really hard. How do you handle the pain? People handle it in very different ways. Some people like to work through it; some people have to distract themselves etc. I’m one of those people that has to distract themselves. Whenever I’m in pain I like to lay down and blast music through my ear phone or read a book to go into someone’s world for a little while. What do you like to do? I would really love to hear from you! Feel free to comment on here or contact me through facebook and email: kait@rsdsupportandhope.org or http://www.facebook.com/RSDSupportandHope (: Okay, Love you guys! Have an amazing weekend (:

RSD Support and Hope's First Fundraiser at Burlap and Bean!

Wow is the only word that comes to mind when I think of last night. The whole night was pure perfection. RSD Support and Hope had their very first fundraiser! It started with the speeches! That was probably the most insane thing I’ve ever done. It’s an amazing thing when people finally realize that RSD is real, and we all have to do something to stop it.

Then Vilebred went on…seriously one of the most talented local bands. Sam Vile’s voice is one of the best I’ve ever heard and the band completely rocked. They opened with some original songs, such as their newest song, "Wine N' Cig." They also played a cover of The Beastie Boys "Sabotage," with a puppet! It was amazing.

After Vilebred finished their set there was a 15 minute break and then Tom Curtis went on. Tom started with one of his best performances of Stars. He then went into a whole set of purely amazing music. He used the fundraiser as an opportunity to release his new Single, "Passion." Make sure you check both of them out of Facebook, MySpace or their websites:

RSD Support and Hope ended up raising over $1,000! It’s our intention to pass that along to someone in need. Thank you guys so much for all of your support so far and I’m looking forward to bigger and better things in the future!
Love you guys!
