Hey Huffs! After a long slog of work, Toby and his architecture team, in concert with the MTA, are finally able to share with the public some design plans and alternatives for the renovation and expansion of Penn Station. If you feel compelled, you’re even invited to comment! Although proud of the work, one glaring compromise on the design is the inability to accommodate one of Michael’s Krupp Baggers or Jet Trains in the future station.

A warm Happy Birthday, on a cold night.

From Huffbunny Davy:

Pickathon is opening their vaults to premiere A Concert A Day to help musicians in need. Any contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500 every little bit helps. Spotify will match your donation, dollar for dollar, up to a collective total of $10 million with a majority of donation proceeds going directly to Recording Academy / GRAMMYs’ MusiCares Covid 19 Relief Fund initiative.

And don’t forget #saveourstages.

Friends, December 1 is Giving Tuesday this year. Here are some of the places the Huffbunnies are giving to and supporting. I haven’t included any of the go fund me type situations supporting the staffs of our favorite local spots, but as Covid numbers climb again these might become important again, too.

• Black Voters Matter – voting allows a community to determine its own destiny.
• CHiPs food pantry and women’s shelter in Brooklyn- we played at their party last March, just before the quarantine. It was the last time we played together indoors & without masks.
• Common Justice – develops and advances solutions to violence… without relying on incarceration.
• Cooke School and Institute – Huffbunny Jonah’s school.
• The Cooper Union – Huffbunny Steve G is a Trustee
• Creative Commons – Overcoming legal obstacles to the sharing of knowledge and creativity.
• Doctors Without Borders – Medicins Sans Frontieres – Medical care where it’s needed most.
• Electronic Frontier Foundation – defending digital privacy and free speech.
• Fair Fight – Voting is the bedrock on which our community’s future and your ambitions are built.
• National Independent Venue Association #SaveOurStatges
• Southern Poverty Law Center – Fighting hate. Teaching tolerance.
• Tanksounds.org – Huffbunny Jim is the exec director, and Huffbunny Stumpy is on the board.
• True Colors United – solutions to youth homelessness with a focus on LGBTQ young people.

Huffs, you know that Huffbunny Jim Paul is the Executive Director of TankSounds.org, and a number of us have been out to the Tank and want to be there again. Here’s a chance to have fun & support the Tank from a couple thousand miles away. Stream Taj Mahal live this Tuesday night, and a portion of the proceeds go to the Tank when you buy your ticket here. Doit!
