So as the 12.325 readers of the AMI blog know, we here are many things:

• We are fathers.
• We are brothers.
• We are pseudo-rockstars.
• We are leaders of the anti-Dave Navarro movement.
• And we are, um, doctors (which, by the way, requires 8 years of, um, medical school).

But mostly, we are givers.  Yes…givers.  Givers of what you ask?  We’re not sure….

Anyhoo, as a little philanthropic warm-up to this year’s ‘Stache Bash ’08 extravaganza, AMI is   “getting our charity on” by making sure that those of you that currently and blissfully live in St. Louis – home to the world’s largest mustache with an elevator in it – know about another 3^rd annual event happening at the Off Broadway Nightclub on Friday, October 3^rd.

Indeed, little can be as much of an oxymoron as the term, “Corporate Rock.”  We know this.  Perhaps “Dave Navarro Macho” comes close, but this Friday, October 3^rd, five of St. Louis’ best corporate rock & roll bands will go head-to-head to see which can raise the most money for The United Way.  The past two benefit shows have raised close to $9,000, and this year’s show will be bigger than ever. 

Please click here for the all the details on the show. 

Now, a few bits of important knowledge:

• Did you know that one million people are helped each year in the St. Louis-area by United Way supported agencies?  Us neither.  That’s 1 in 3.
• Did you know that more than 90 cents on every dollar goes to help over 200 agencies?  Yeah.  Seriously. 

So call Corporate Rock what you will, but of all the bands that think they’ll change the world…these guys come pretty close.

We hope you can come out and say hey.

See?  It’s not always about the ‘stache.

P.S…yes it is.
