Thursday, December 20 at 8:00PM

Tonight at the Free Speech Zone Reading Series at the House of Hamez (the former Daily Perks) don't miss Bobby Maville's return to the stage! YEAH! I have seriously missed this boy!

Free Speech Zone Reading Series happens on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of every month, hasted by Ed Downey and Frank Judge, and alternating with Norm Davis & Rick Petrie's Pure Kona series on the 2nd & 4th.

Confusing, huh? But you know what? It doesn't matter ... every Thursday something's going on there, so it just adds to the surprise if you happen to get the dates mixed up ... I say celebrate not knowing!

Some upcoming events at House of Hamez are listed below.

The $5 cover charge is a suggested donation. The proceeds will go to benefit Sojo Walker, details below.

Also appearing will be Nate Coffey and Pete Mugnolo. There may be more surprise guests.

The benefit's going toward Liza's friend Sojo Walker who is volunteering for an organization called the Institute of International Cooperation and Development www.iicd-volunteer.org , affiliated with UNICEF and Humana People to People. She is going to Benguela, Angola to work at a Teacher's Training College.
She will train teachers to teach in primary schools in rural areas that have been decimated by decades of civil war. Her project works in accordance with the United Nations Milleneum Development Goals of Universal Primary Education.
She will be in Benguela for six months. She'll have secondary projects that include an English language club, a Malaria Awareness club, a yoga club, and a HIV Hope garden project. So she needs all the help she can get! Liza plays an interesting blend of folk, jazz and Latin American guitar. In addition, she sometimes sings in Spanish or Japanese. Sometimes joined on stage by the likes of Nate Coffey and Shawnee Boyee, Liza's performances always offer the unexpected.
