New York City DJ Jonathan Toubin is in critical condition after a runaway taxi crashed into his hotel room in Portland Oregon. Toubin was scheduled to perform that night.

Toubin is well known for his “New York Night Train” DJ series  & “Soul Clap/ Dance Off” in NYC and has taken his act on the road including 2 performances at the Beachland this past year with DJ Hot Trash.

There will be a donation at the door & 100% of the proceeds will go to assisting with Jonathan’s hospital & medical bills. Like so many in our music and art scene he did not have health insurance. There will be a raffle (including a WCSB gift pack and the coveted WCSB Beer).

Each year, WCSB holds a contest to find a design to grace our limited edition Radiothon T-Shirts. This year we will be celebrating our 35th Anniversary (1976-2011), so in addition to receiving the luxurious prize of $89.03 (& a free shirt), the winner will also have the honor of designing the shirt that marks this milestone. The original artwork can be anything that you feel represents WCSB – no holds barred. In the past winning designs have featured: cassette tapes; a toilet; B-movie posters; and an overweight Australian man with a mullet and a pencil thin mustache feeding cockatoos – just to name a few. All submissions become the property of WSCB.

On August 21st, 2011, our friend and host of WCSB’s “Music of Macedonia”, Milka Simonoski was the victim of domestic violence. She was life-flighted to Metro Health’s Trauma Unit and remains in “critical condition” in its Intensive Care Unit. Her family asks that you keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

If you would like to send cards or letters, you may send them to WCSB and we will forward them to her family. If you would like to donate to the fund that has been set up for her, you can go to any area Charter One Bank and ask for the “Bilyana Simonoski Fund”.
