LOCAL:
Guest today – Josh Lamb of The Beggar Folk
“The Beggar Folk are Josh and Trista Lamb, a band of folk singer-songwriters from Lancaster, Pa. Their music is mellow and intimate—finger-picking, warm harmonies, thoughtful lyrics, and a fierce love for both man and creator have all lead to The Beggar Folk’s ability to stir their listeners. Their distinct blend of modern folk+old country lends a natural avenue to their strong storytelling and minimalist roots. Classically trained and seasoned instrumentalists, recent additions Taylor Brandt & Meredith Shaub (violins) & Allison Farris (cello) bring new depth to The Beggar Folk’s emotionally driven writings. Their ability to personally connect with each song and translate lyrics to strings is both rare and highly moving.”
“BACKGROUND: Josh has been writing songs since his teens, but it was during Josh and Trista’s recent 7-month internship in Alexandria, Egypt, that his lyrics began to mature. Being so far from friends and family back home, entering a foreign culture, and witnessing the injustices of war and prejudice led to a lot of healthy introspection. As a parting gift, Josh and Trista had one of their songs, “The Rug, The Shovel, and The Gun” translated into Arabic and sang it to their Egyptian neighbors as they shared one last cup of tea. Since moving to Pennsylvania this past June, Josh and Trista have been spending their days writing, performing, networking and enjoying the beauty of all that Lancaster has to offer.”

Stuff Max found
Time to get your Dyngus on
Monday, April 5th, 2010Where’s Anne? Where’s Max?
Like that elusive Waldo, Max & Anne have made a game of today’s podcast. Anne’s not here (boo) so Max has to go it alone. Max decided to broadcast from the wrong station so none of the live audience could find the video cast today. Major fail. But we did rebroadcast on the proper channel and, of course, you can always watch the archived video or listen to the audio version on iTunes.

This past weekend was Easter, how was yours? Max celebrated with a bike ride.
A beautiful spring day, perfect for a ride. But Max needs to get a "big boy bike."
WHAT IS DYNGUS DAY?
from DyngusDayBuffalo.com
Historically a Polish-American tradition, Dyngus Day celebrates the end of the often restrictive observance of lent and the joy of Easter. Over the decades, Dyngus Day has become a wonderful holiday to celebrate Polish-American culture, heritage and traditions.
This is a yearly debate among Dyngus Day revelers. The tradition holds true that on Easter Monday boys would sprinkle the girls with water and tap them with pussywillows. On Easter Tuesday, the women would return the favorite. At modern Dyngus Day parties it is common practice that both men and women trade water and pussywillow equally.
WHY PUSSY WILLOWS?
Pussy willows playa (sic) big part in Buffalo’s Dyngus Day celebrations as men and women flirt with playful “taps.” Branches of the plant are used as the pussy willow is one of the first “budding” plants of spring. But how did the pussy willow get its name? According to Polish legend, many springs ago, baby kittens fell into a raging river while chasing butterflies. The mother car (sic) sadly wept at the river’s edge, pleading for help for her drowning kittens. The willows heard her mournful cries and swept their long graceful branches into the water. The kittens grabbed the branches, held on tightly and were safely brought to shore. Every spring, from that day on, the willows sprouted fur-like buds where the tiny kittens once clung.
Guest hosting The Lancast
Max filled in for Daniel Klotz this weekend on our sister podcast “The Lancast.” He and David talked about the iPad release on Saturday and look back on a year of podcasting and the creative scene in Lancaster.

Creative House of Lancaster
Next meeting Thursday 18 March 2010 at Annie Bailey’s. Grant Rissler from MCC will be there to talk about the group’s work all over the world and answer questions about how the Lancaster for Haiti donations will help out Haitians in need.
The Eris is pretty slick
The Eris is pretty slick
Anne finally got a new phone. No, not the iPhone. But she did get a pretty sweet Eris by HTC. So far it looks like a great phone and a good solution for those Verizon folks reluctant to make the switch to AT&T. The gauntlet’s been thrown by Anne so watch for a head-to-head, battle of the phones between the two of them in the near future. Can’t figure out how to do screen captures on the Eris yet so you’ll just have to wait until Anne figures that out.
Forum on PA House Bill 300
Max will be attending the Forum on HB 300 tonight at the City Council Chambers, Southern Market Center tonight from 7pm-9pm. Join him if you can and show your support for the GLBT community. Look for video from tonight’s event coming this week.
From the Facebook event pageOn Monday, March 8, 2010 The Lancaster City Human Relations Commission is sponsoring a community discussion about Pennsylvania HB300, which is proposed legislation to amend the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act to extend protections to residents who are discriminated against on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. This forum will take place from 7:00-9:00 PM at the Southern Market Center, City Council Chambers, 100 South Queen St., Lancaster, PA. The public is invited to attend. For more information on the forum, please contact Linda Martin at 717-393-2883.
First Friday at The Infantree
Max stopped by the Infantree Friday night for the Help Haiti Heal: Poster Show and caught a little video. The guys over there always put together great shows and this was no exception. And it was for a good cause, the Haiti relief effort. Max couldn’t get the video cut together for today’s video cast (#MaxFail) but will post is as soon as it’s ready.
From TheInfantree.comWe have asked designers and print makers to create limited edition posters. They will be sold for $25 each at the gallery and online. The show will benefit Build-A-Bridge, a Philadelphia-based non-profit arts organization that uses the power of the arts to bring hope and healing. Its Haiti response includes art therapy to help children who may not have the emotional outlets or tools to cope with the tragedy. The show will also feature 20×30-inch, large-format black and white portraits taken by Lancaster photographer Matthew Lester on trips to rural Haiti. Lester has made six trips to Haiti over the last 10 years. For Lester, the portraits are an opportunity to show a perspective he is not seeing in mainstream media coverage of the earthquake’s aftermath.
Picks of the week
Anne: Double Twist – syncing for the rest of us non-iPhone users.
Max: FAIL (no pick this week)
