From mp3s to sweaty tees - Team BFM Digital Trains For The LA Marathon and raises money for Aids Project LA.

 

As you may or may not know, my label, Warrior Girl Music (www.warriorgirlmusic.com) is digitally distributed through BFM Digital: www.bfmdigital.com. Our SKILLZ cd for youth www.skillzcd.com, my Christmas Song (you'll have to wait till Dec to hear that again) and our Warrior Girl Music and Art Of Men compilations www.warriorgirlmusic.com/compilations are distributed by BFM, and soon my upcoming brand spanking new album which isn't ready yet. Patience… om…..

 

Now the boys at BFM Digital are so - ACTIVE - that their staff will even run the LA Marathon, and that's no mean feat! That's right, Steven Weber and Steven Corn, executives of BFM, will pull off their ties and polished shoes, and don sweaty tees and runners.

 

And it's all for a worthy cause - this is where I come in. I want them to raise over $3000 for the Aids Project LA, which is why they are running the marathon, so that they can get this over and done with, get to the finish line, raise the money and get back to the office and get on with chatting to iTunes about my fabulous CDS!!! He he.

 

But it means YOU reading this and clicking the link below and making a pledge. Even $1. Whatever you can, so that they can pull this off.

 

 

Read what Steven Corn from BFM had to say about their RUN:

"Here's something that I never thought that I would say: "I'm training for the LA Marathon!" Last year, Steven Weber joined the Aids Project LA training program for the LA Marathon and I wimped out. He completed the 2008 LA Marathon which was just amazing. When October rolled around again, he hounded me to join up. Without any running experience, I hesitated. But ultimately, I said, "Yes." So for the past four months, the two Steve's have been getting up early every Saturday morning to do our group training runs. They started at 4 miles. Today it was 20 miles!!

 

"The training program is being offered by Aids Project LA to help raise money for their various programs. We have pledged to raise over $3000 and we need your help.

We realize that times are tough out there. But just imagine how hard it is for people suffering from Aids. We would greatly appreciate any contribution you can make. Just click on the link below and you can make a donation (which is, of course, tax deductible). THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!"

 

* * * * * PLEASE PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE CAUSE and HELP THEM RUN at: http://tinyurl.com/bfmmarathon. More info is on this link too, especially the part about where your money is going.

 

 

And make sure you get out and exercise a bit today yourself! Get off the twitter, facebook, myspace, ning, pro tools, guitar, keyboard, guitar hero, blah blah, and go RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

 

Peace out,

Latest gilli moon newsletter online now

G'day peaceful warriors... Really nice to have your email company for a moment as I share with you my monthly newsletter.

I've just arrived back in L.A from a sojourn in France and Italy where I got in touch with my soul in a different way. (Me and Monet on the right). You may not know this about me but I studied art at University (Bachelor of Education in Visual Arts), so it was wonderful to feel it all the true way in France and Italy. Also, as most of you know, I am recording my new album, which I've been producing since early January. I'm now diving back into that process. Read my blog and read about my trip, and also be part of my album recording process, at www.gillimoon.com/word

Drum roll please.... I have two important events this month which I hope you can be part of. The first is this coming Saturday, Downtown LA, for our Skillz For Life show, celebrating the CD "Skillz" which I created with spoken word hip hop artist J.Walker. It's at 1pm and it's oriented for youth, so if you have any or know any, bring them down. This CD is by far the most inspirational and revolutionary music project I've ever created and I encourage you to listen to some tracks if you can't make the show, online at www.skillzcd.com. More details further down with a CD review just in!

The following Saturday, the 18th, I am co-hosting a Benefit for my dear friend Deb Flanagan, who has Lou Gehrig's disease. We are doing a benefit concert in Venice, Ca, and it's also on the internet as a simulcast so please log in from around the world. I have held a 6 year friendship with a wonderful human being, Deb Flanagan. Deb has been an active music enthusiast, promoter and business owner, based out of Austin Texas, for many years. She has given SO much to my artistry and my label Warrior Girl Music over the years, and I was saddened to hear that Deb had been diagnosed with ALS, known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease", which has turned a vibrant, active woman into someone who has lost many abilities of her body and degenerating every day. With lack of medical funds i decided to do a Benefit for her. Please read below about the Benefit and come, if in LA, or log on to the Internet to watch as well as DONATE!!!!!!

A few other wonderful ingredients in my life that are making a great sauce include a new music deal I've made for my songwriting, and the continuation of our Skillz CD launch. All great news and below.

Enjoy the read below, and the ride,
