On the wrong side of the country for kulfi?

Don’t fret, my pet- the mutiny has even more ways for you to help donate to the victims of the brown quake (Thanks, Yasmine and Raj). If I were back home on the left coast, there is no doubt about what I’d be doing this Saturday night (after getting two sublime mango lassis from VIK’s, that is):

————————————————–

BEYOND BORDERS A Benefit for the Survivors of the South Asian Earthquake

————————————————–

Saturday, November 19th, 7PM
Wheeler Auditorium
University of California Berkeley

100% of the proceeds go towards grassroots earthquake relief efforts in Pakistan and India – specifically, Edhi Foundation (Pakistan), Sungi Development Foundation (Pakistan), & Association for India’s Development’s Jammu and Kashmir Fund (India).

Get your tickets, visuals and other info here. The line-up looks as good as the aforementioned lassi:

A night of solid culture and the opportunity to help people who need it, who are the victims of a vicious natural disaster AND donor fatigue? That’s some cocktail of goodness. May you get intoxicated and then donate even more.
