BENEFIT: Help keep Pirate Cat Radio on the air by attending the Pirate Cat Radio Benefit Oldies Dance Party. After being fined $10,000 by the FCC, the station has only been able to broadcast online, but they need help broadcasting at it's home, 87.9 FM, again. Can't make it to the party? Stop by the Pirate Cat Radio Cafe some time -- every purchase benefits the station.
