On November 19th, we will hold a very special party at Offbeat (151 Wesley Ave) to raise funds to help our favorite shop and counter cultural gathering spot defeat the MAN once and for all.

The MAN is trying to hold Offbeat down with inflated ASCAP and SESAC music licensing fees that target small businesses. Further, Offbeat lost a business partner in the first year and needs to raise some money to pay some back debt off.

How can you help? It’s simple! Come to Offbeat on November 19th, pay the cover at the door (plus any other donation you’d like to make) and then enjoy the night. We’ll have music, food, special sales, contests, and more, with all proceeds going straight to Offbeat’s effort to take the MAN down once and for all.
