On the night
of a Bowl
that is Super,
there will be
5 people of poetry,
in a station,
on the
UCSD Campus,
reading poetry;
on the radio-
for a crowd,
so come one,
come all,
bring a friend-
dress nice
and be American-listen to poetry.

Giraffe Catcher Poetry is all about using the inernets to bring people “together to read, write, walk, happen, perform.” We can get behind that. They host a bi-weekly radio show Sundays at 5:00 pm at ksdt.ucsd.edu…also check out Giraffe Catcher Poetry on Facebook. (submitted by Jared Muscat, Photo Misha Johnson)

Pure Water Made Portable

Now, we all know that buying new shit isn’t the answer to the world’s problems. Regardless, TMY is proud to present you with the opportunity to have clean water on the go and support a worthwhile set of organizations at UCSD. We’re peddling these radical water bottles with built-in filters that are suitable not only for everyday use with tap water, but camping, emergencies, and apocalypse preparedness as well! Dip it in a river or lake, snap the top back on and enjoy. Check the specs here.

The student organization responsible for this fundraiser, Aquaholics Anonymous, states that “All proceeds go towards developing a low-water irrigation system for the Urban Farm, Compost Site, Neighborhood Garden, and Native Plant Garden at UC San Diego.”

As a member of the Sustainable Food Project at UCSD, the push for an Urban Farm on campus is a project I’m currently working on. In the wacky world of student politics, I’ve learned that a little bit of dough has to stretch a long way, and that every opportunity to fund a sensible project is valuable. Our goal is to create a rich learning environment at the school where students have the opportunity to learn biointensive organic farming methods, and reconnect with the food cycle.

If purchasing one of these bottles and supporting a noble cause interests you, please contact me via email. We are selling these BPA-free bottles for $20 each (They’re up to $25 plus shipping online!) and have a life meant to last over 300 refillings.Â Max and myself will be offering free bicycle delivery of the bottles within San Diego City (Anywhere that falls South of the 8, North of the 94, and West of the 125). If you live elsewhere, delivery can be easily arranged.
