The Surfider San Francisco Chapter will have a presence at the Sunday, June 7th, 2009 Rogue Wave show at the Independent. We are very excited to have this opportunity to talk with fans about Surfrider! Thanks Rogue Wave, Zeitgeist Management, and the Independent!

This is the 4th Annual Benefit for the D.A. Taylor Charitable Foundation.
On March 20, 1995, D.A. Taylor died from meningitis as a teenager. His family and friends founded the D.A. Taylor Charitable Foundation in 2006 to honor D.A.'s spirit and the quintessential and symbolic good that he represented.
Rogue Wave is a Bay Area-based indie-pop band with Brushfire Records. They are also a Clif Bar & Co "GreenNotes" artist partner.
GreenNotes supports emerging musicians - passionate about the environment in their own right – who may not yet have the resources, expertise, or funds to integrate environmentally friendly touring practices.
GreenNotes provides artists with the resources and the technical assistance required to integrate several eco-friendly touring practices. These include: fueling their buses with biodiesel, printing on recycled paper using soy-based ink, selling organic cotton t-shirts at shows, working to provide locally and organically grown foods backstage, and buying renewable wind energy credits to offset their remaining carbon dioxide emissions (CO2, a greenhouse gas, is the major cause of global warming).
Rogue Wave contributed the song "Chicago X 12" to GreenNotes' album "Protect the Places We Play." A portion of the sales of this album benefit the Surfrider Foundation!

Last Friday I went to see the premiere of "D Tour" at the San Francisco International Film Festival. What an amazing film and story. If you have the opportunity to see this film, then don't miss it!
D tour chronicles Rogue Wave's Pat Spurgeon's search for a living organ donor and the challenges associated with finding a viable match. Pat’s choice to keep touring and working toward the band’s goals is put to the test; the absolute need to perform dialysis daily and to focus on his health became top priority while being on the road. D tour also addresses issues with the health care system, the lack of affordable insurance, the importance of organ donation, plus much more.
We hope to see you at the Independent on June 7th!
