SCAR Project

We're so excited to be heading to Cincinnati this weekend for The SCAR Project exhibit and afterparty. The SCAR Project is "a series of large-scale portraits of young breast cancer survivors shot by fashion photographer David Jay. Primarily an awareness raising campaign, The SCAR Project puts a raw, unflinching face on early onset breast cancer while paying tribute to the courage and spirit of so many brave young women."

Why this project means so much to me (Christina) is that one of its portrait subjects is my sister Vanessa, who's been dealing with breast cancer since 2006.

We'll be the music at the afterparty on Saturday, October 1, at the Avenue Lounge in Covington, KY. We can't wait!

A Yearbook Committee wedding

On October 23, Christina and David got married! In the extraordinarily (some may say overly) YBC-saturated evening, Jon sang a song, Rachel read a poem, Travis MC'ed and Brad rocked the dance mix. All in all, a good time.

"Don't Hide" - New Folked Up! (in Terre Haute) video

New Yearbook Committee video filmed by Jet Kaiser as part of the FOLKED UP! (in Terre Haute) music video series. The song is "Don't Hide," written by Jimmy Rinehart, and we filmed it inside the colorful Thriftstore Cowboy Vintage in downtown Terre Haute.

HUGE thanks to Jet, who also filmed videos in the same night for Yearbook Committee's own Jon DaCosta (Marquette Ave. — "Hospital") and Christina Blust ("Sudden Amaryllis").

(Jet also does super-cool wedding videography. Check it out.)

The Zombie Connection

As a few members of Yearbook Committee spend way too much time contemplating zombie apocalypse, we were super excited when Joshua Hull, writer/director of the zombie film Beverly Lane, asked us to contribute a song for the final credits. The film, produced by Arsonist Pictures and 3 O'Clock Productions, will be released at an October 29, 2010, premiere in Noblesville, Indiana.

According to its Facebook page, Beverly Lane "follows a local metal company as they celebrate the retirement of their longtime boss with a 'Coney Island' themed party. Bored & angry, the workers find themselves stuck with clowns, a magician, a mime, and one very sick barbershop singer. Then all hell breaks loose...literally! Stuck between zombies and a sideshow, the workers must learn to survive with each other or die trying."

Our song, "Concerning the End," was written especially for the occasion by Brad Lone. We'll keep you up to date about the film!
