Callahan Family Fundraiser - Two weeks ago over at the Gulu you helped raise over $11,000 for the Jocelyn Callahan fundraiser with the money slated to build a fence in the hopes a similar tragedy can be avoided. It turns out that the city has already funded the building of a fence with construction to begin shortly. The Callahan family is consitering putting that money to good use in the form of a scholarship. This Sunday September 14th Dodge Street will be hosting an all day fundraiser for the family. Swing by for some great music, stories and to put a few dollars to good work.

Insider Picks

I say this all the time but if you haven’t checked out Rocky Horror here in Salem get your butt over there Friday night. If Rocky isn’t your thing you can’t go wrong tonight at Gulu-Gulu, DJ Seth is always a house favorite. Saturday in Salem is all about the rump shakin’ so it’s off to see Search Party at Rockafellas and sing cover songs at the top of our lungs. Sunday swing by Dodge Street any time after 1PM for the Callahan Family benefit, its a worty cause.
