311 / HURRICANE KATRINA:
At this time, we want to reach out to our friends, fans and family in the Gulf Coast. We are thinking of you and we are taking action.
311 has been active with the Red Cross aiding in donation drives for cash, food and supplies to be shipped to New Orleans and Houston, as well as providing public service announcements for everyone to get involved and help; whether donating time, money or supplies to those in desperate need.
At the last two weeks on the Summer Tour, 311 had donation buckets at the venue merchandise booths collecting cash donations for hurricane aid. In addition, during this time, 311 has donated $1 per every t-shirt sale to the relief effort. It's time to unite and make a difference. Please check out these links:

This season has been a great one for women's tennis. Sony Ericsson became the sponsor of the WTA Tour. I love their W800 Walkman™ phone and listening to "Kick It Up" by Lyndrea Price, "Can't Fade Me" by 311 and "One Spin" by Zack Hexum. These songs represent the soundtrack of my life as a player.
