💥 Cat shelter benefit sale! 15% off TMBG merch!💥US tour is SOLD OUT! 💥UK and Australia tour! 💥[edit]
Greetings everyone –– John F. of They Might Be Giants here. Very excited to report that all of the gigs on our Big Show Tour of the midwest this summer have SOLD OUT. Our fall FLOOD shows in Australia and the UK have mostly “gone clean” but there are some malingerers there (including London?) along with NEW SHOWS ADDED in Australia. Go to http://www.TMBG.com for direct links—no chiseling reselling fees!
But the big news round here is that we are raising money on our merch website for a very good cause—the Waterloo Alley Cat Project. Go to http://www.TMBGshop.com and use the discount code CATNAMEDDOG and get 15% off anything you purchase. All the profits raised in this week of sales is going directly to the shelter. I have personally visited one of their two cat colonies in Cleveland (in back of the fantastic Blue Arrow Records) and I can assure you they are doing very good work helping out some kitties that would have some very cold winters and long summers without the Waterloo Alley’s help. This is their site: http://www.waterlooalleycatproject.org/about.html
This sale is on right now. We are putting some items up on super-sale just to sweeten the pot—20% off including the discount code for BOOK, the always beloved Flood shirt in Kelly green, the very popular Fingertips shirt on white, and the Flood flyer poster and green shirt.

About Waterloo Alley Cat Project of Cleveland directly from them:
Trap-neuter/spay-return programs (TNR) have proven to be effective in humanely managing feral and stray cats while at the same time reducing their numbers. With TNR the cats are trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated for rabies, ear-tipped and, if they are feral, returned to their original territories. A trained caretaker then provides food and shelter, and watches for problems, or newcomers. Feral cats originate from pet cats that were not spayed or neutered then abandoned and have kittens in the wild who are fearful of humans.
The Waterloo Alley Cat Project is currently managing two cat colonies by making sure all the cats are spayed/neutered and healthy. We have helped hundreds of cats since we began our mission. We are not a rescue organization or an extermination service; we help the cats to live healthy lives outdoors by providing food daily along with shelter and veterinary care. Our project has garnered the support of municipal officials, residents and local businesses in this important cause. WACP is a non-profit volunteer initiative committed not only to improving Waterloo's community cats' lives, but also to the people who live and work in North Collinwood.
Our mission is to humanely reduce the growing number of homeless/feral cats and kittens roaming the streets around the Waterloo business district due in part to the housing foreclosure crisis in the neighborhood. These cats undergo the excruciating physical pain that comes with hunger, cold, and injury and we aim to humanely end the needless suffering.
