Hey everyone,

You may have heard me (Beth) on WHYY’s “Voices in the Family” talking to the wonderful Maiken Scott about Girls Rock Philly.  The March 12th show looked at the problems caused by sexualizing young girls & proposed GRP as a solution! Check out GRP on NPR to hear why you should never bike anywhere right before talking on the radio.

Reminders:  GRP will be representing at the Philly Roller Girls East Coast Derby Extravaganza this weekend, March 17th & 18th. It’s the start of a beautiful friendship between lots of strong women.

We’re also thrilled to be seeing & hearing some great music at the next Sugar Town, Friday March 23rd at Tritone. See you there!

Hey everyone,

Thanks so much for hanging out at Philly Sound Clash last week — we’ve got a dozen new volunteers & met lots of people supportive of what we’re doing at GRP.

Stay tuned — we’re moving closer & closer to confirming the venue & dates of Girls Rock Philly camp week. As soon as we do, we’ll put up online & printable volunteer & camper applications. We’ll also debut some GRP shirts soon, since we’ve got a designer on the case.

And we’ll be making some more appearances at some soon-to-be-announced events all over Philadelphia, including our own silent auction in April.Â

Girls Rock Philly has been repping hard around town — catch us next at Philly Sound Clash on Thursday, February 22nd at World Cafe Live. We’ll have a table all night where you can meet us & come away with all kinds of info & free stuff. Â

Girls Rock Philly will be back in the new year, ready to work. Till then, happy holidays!

Our December 2nd dance party helped us in so many ways: we recouped all of our startup costs, we had our name in nearly every media publication in Philadelphia & we had some serious fun. Good times.

Check out photos from our event here — more to come as people send in their own shots!

We’re also on MySpace — be our friend!

Girls Rock Philly holds its first fundraising event on Saturday, December 2nd at The Parlor (1170 S. Broad St.) Shake and Shiver – a frosty formal to benefit GRP – will feature music by DJ Girls Collective and Adam Sparkles (Making Time, Click.), film screenings from Small Change Collective, a holiday photo booth, snacks and spirits.

Hope to see you all there!

Girls Rock Philly is in the news with a profile in the November issue of Philadelphia Magazine. On stands now, our first piece of press coverage is also available in the Press section, so check it out for the full story!

Scenes from Girls Rock!

Hi folks! Maria here, I’m Girls Rock Philly’s web person. While we’re in the early stages of getting prepared for our own camp, I wanted to let you know about Girls Rock!, a documentary by Arne Johnson and Shane King, based upon the experiences and community surrounding the Portland Rock’n'Roll Camp for Girls.

Check out the website for the trailer — it’s fantastic. Can’t wait to see the whole thing!

Hey everyone — big changes are coming soon, so be on the lookout for:

*Paypal, for tax-exempt giving without leaving your seat
*Our first serious piece of press (9 months before camp, no less!)
*Girls Rock Philly’s first major benefit

…and baked goods to commemorate at least one of those big deals. What’s not to love?
