Save Daptone

Hello neighbors and soul revivers,

SaveDaptone's neighborhood "bar tab" is officially closing -- after a few weeks of "drinking," it's time to turn the lights on and head home (or to your local record store...hint hint). If you were so kind as to put up a button, please take a minute to take it down. We don't want to have to refund someone FOUR dollars now that we've closed donations... I'm sure you can imagine - it would make us feel pretty silly.

The SaveDaptone site will very soon be updated with all the details on where your drinks went, how they got there and what they'll turn into. For more updates, there's always twitter!

You've helped one of America's neighborhood record labels heal a little. Yes, there will be other neighbors who'll need to lean on you, but hey, this was an ok place to start. Besides, you're good for it.

We thought that $4 times a whole community of soul enthusiasts could help...and you did.
$4 at a time.
And that is cool.
So, what's the total??

Our neighborhood bought Daptone 375 drinks!

(Here, do the math! )

Tell your friends and neighbors, whether they bought Daptone a drink here, a ticket to a show, a tshirt, or a 45 from the label, & even if they're just generally good friends and neighbors like you - Thanks from SaveDaptone.

Seriously, THANK YOU.

This has been pretty cool to witness.

See you on the dance floor!
