Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm still alive, apparently. I've just been, uh, busy or something. But now I actually have something fun to tell you kids about. So listen up.

It's called Cause for Drinks, hosted by social-action-brand-for-the-cool-kids All Day Buffet.

What is it, you ask? It’s a pretty simple idea. People in various cities across the country gather for happy hour at their local watering hole, and $2 from every drink goes to a selected charity.

Step 1: Show up at All Day Buffet's bimonthly happy hour.

Step 2: Buy a drink.

Step 3: Buy more drinks.

Step 4: Save the world.

So far, Cause for Drinks is in NYC, Seattle, Austin, New Orleans, and a few other cities across the country. Check out their website for more information about their next happy hour or bringing Cause for Drinks to your city.

If you're in the New York area, All Day Buffet is joining hands with Education Through Music to host a Battle of the Bands next Thursday, May 15th at Canal Room. Proceeds will benefit music education in inner-city schools. Details are on the website.
