    What can you do with $10 - Portland, ME

    I just ran across this video on FB. I don't know anything about the project or the people behind it... but thought it was kind of cool...

    If you've never been to Maine, here's a chance for you to see some of the area near where we live.

    so apparently the video was created for a contest by the band Guster. I know nothing about Guster. Anyone want to help me out here?

    $10 at the Eastern Michigan Food Bank = $140 worth of food. Or there abouts. I can't find the statistic.
    “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart” (Eph. 6:5-6).

    I used to be a big fan of Guster. I still occassionally listen to their first two albums, but I have none of their recent ones. I saw them live a couple of times in high school (and maybe once in college).

    I like their original acoustic sound. Have not much of a clue what they're up to lately.

    I believe that they met at Tufts University and began as a band in Somerville.

    EDITED TO ADD:
    I just watched the video. I'm sure that some can find complaints, but I thought it was great. Using money to solve problems is one thing, but choosing to be present to people while using our money is wonderful.
    Thanks Gina Stevenson, Diane Likens - "thanks" for this post

    The idea of rescuing folks from expired meters was great! Talk about a ten fold increase. I imagine that the tickets given to those meters would have been a lot more than $10.

    Neat stuff!

    To know and to serve God, of course, is why we're here, a clear truth, that, like the nose on your face, is near at hand and easily discernible but can make you dizzy if you try to focus on it hard. But a little faith will see you through.

    Like Jeremy I was a big fan of Guster for the first few albums... and I too saw them live (although I was in my 20s not high school).

    Never heard of them, but good video.
