I djed for the group in the previous post tonight, Fallen Whistles. The guy who’s behind it all really spoke well about his cause. Apparently they took the whistle as a symbol as young boys who are too weak to carry arms are sent as the front line into enemy territory in the congo with whistles as their only defense, to die. Sean was able to involve the UN in efforts to stop the killings, but some how related to recent births and deaths in my life it all falls into perspective. Here it is musically; Who do you love?

you can buy a whistle at Fred Segal Santa Monica this Thursday Oct 22nd from 7-10. All proceeds go directly to the rehabilitation of the people of Congo and efforts to bring peace.

I’m Djing the event. Learn more about the effort. Great blog with classic photography. www.fallingwhistles.com/

When my brother and I lived in India as kids, I remember reading cartoons like this one.  They were in stark contrast to the GI Joe style stuff we had too, always very spiritual and entertaining (versus mind numbing and entertaining).  It always felt like you would learn something from them.  Seeing this image makes me think of the fact that I must have learned from them somehow.
