Tibet Tones (now for free!)

I’m planning to “relaunch” the ringtones and wallpaper service I launched a year or so ago. I’ve renamed it TibeTones (or maybe its “Tibet Tones”), and am working on a new website.

In the meantime, all the existing tones and pics are now available absolutely free! You can also easily download them and send them around to friends, upload them to your phones (for Verizon users), and do basically anything you want with them!

So, go have some fun right now at Tibet Tones

And if you have any ideas for a new ringtones or picture, please send them to me, or write them here in the blog comments!

ITSN in London

Here I am in London at the annual meeting of the Steering Committee of the International Tibet Support Network… good folks from Tibet Support Groups (TSGs) from all over the world.

ITSN is a coordinating body made up of TSGs around the world. The Steering Committee consists of representatives of TSGs from every region of the world. Good work happened this weekend and I predict that it’s going to take off this year!

SFT Fundraiser in Boston

Friday night, October 20

SFT Board members Rick, Dechen, Nyesang and Wangyal hosted a house party at Rick’s very old house in Boston (the house was built in 1867, soon after Rick’s ancestors saw the end of the American Civil War). Besides raising enough funds to temporarily postpone SFT’s constantly looming financial predicament, the party was one crazy mix of pleasure and pleasure. See for yourself!

The party has begun

Rockin’ Volunteer Crew at SFT HQ

We had an amazing volunteer crew here at the SFT office today and this evening helping us to get out a big (verrry big) mailing. We’re sending out the fall/winter edition of Banned in Tibet, the SFT Newsletter (available online as a PDF for the first time here) to all of our members and supporters. That’s a lot of labels and stamps and these silly little perforated circular stickers the post office demands we seal each Newsletter with before we put ‘em in the mailbox.

Grassroots Coordinator Tendor has also been workin’ overtime (which in SFT terms means double-overtime) getting a big pakage together… and then duplicating it a few hundred times… to send out to all of the SFT chapters worldwide. No small task.

And of course, the whole thing would have been impossible without the extra hands here today (and yesterday, and last week, for the last 10 years, etc.). Thanks again everyone. Below (L-R): Yangchen, Yankey, Tsomo, Tenkey, Tendu, Chime and some guy who apparently thinks he’s pretty lucky. Yeah, that would be Tendor.

Previous Concerts

These pics are of concerts long past. See how fun they are!? Number 1: 2004 spring

Our next concert will rock you on November 5th of this year in Neff Recital Hall at 7pm. There are three bands scheduled to play; Rehab After Party, Moser Woods, and Color By Numbers. Don't forget that all of the SFT merchandise you could ask for will be available for you to buy at very affordable prices! (We as students, understand the low incomes you all have!) T-shirts, bumper stickers, buttons, and CDs of the bands will be there. Hopefully you are too!



Here's a sample ticket for this awesome event!
