Green Sunshine, Stick Martin team up to fight hunger
As you prepare to chow down on your annual Thanksgiving smorgasbord, keep in mind that not everyone will be able to down an entire pail of stuffing this Thursday.
A pair of local hip-hop provocateurs -- the nine-persojn collective Green Sunshine and do-it-all wildman Stick Martin, above -- are doing their part. On Dec. 10, they'll team up at Dunedin Brewery for an event called Hip-Hop Against Hunger, benefitting F.E.A.S.T., a food pantry in Palm Harbor.
The event is free, but the bands ask attendees to bring a non-perishable food donation -- peanut butter, canned foods, soups, etc. The F.E.A.S.T. folks will be accepting donations at Dunedin Brewery all night.
The gig is at 9 p.m. Dec. 10 at Dunedin Brewery, 937 Douglas Ave., Dunedin. Click here for details.

 Why would anyone voluntarily attempt to see 50 concerts at 50 different venues in a single summer? Jay Cridlin shrugged and thought: Eh, why not.
