WOW - we're still reeling from Sunday's Record Fair + Second Chance Art Sale at Radio Social (and our PERFECT spot in front of #thatradiowall ). A huge thanks to Needle Drop Records and Flour Pail Kids for putting the event together, as well as Croix, Chores , and Aweful Kanawful for providing live tunes out back. There was so much amazing #ROC creativity everywhere you looked!

WOW -- we can't believe how much fun we had at the WAYO Benefit Record Fair at Lux Lounge this past Sunday. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us and buy records, and an even BIGGER thanks to Russ from Needle Drop Recordsfor organizing the fair, getting raffle prizes, coordinating vendors... we can't thank you enough. The fair helped raise over $1500 for WAYO -- that's enough to run WAYO for a whole month and then some!
