Right now there’s a good guy named Josh with way too much medical debt messing with his life, but this Sunday is your chance to strap on some heavy boots and help kick a hole in a $70,000 bill. Besides the bands—punky ska act the Originalites, punky punk band Hardship Anchors, rockers Eddie and the Reckless with Eddie Nichols of Royal Crown Revue and more—there’s some truly inspiring community cooperation on display here, with dozens of sponsors and helper-outers pitching in for a raffle. (And the prizes from an army of notable local bars, businesses and brands give winners a chance to eat, drink, skate and play guitar at never-before-explored levels of Long Beach luxury.) It’s a welcome chance to have a good time while doing a good thing.
