        Following the tour and dinner, Public Enemy will board a flat-bed
        truck en route to Lisner Auditorium for a performance to mark the
        designation by Congress of November as National Homeless Youth
        Awareness Month, as sponsored by Virgin Mobile USA's (NYSE: VM)
        RE*Generation initiative to help homeless youth.  All proceeds from
        concert ticket sales will benefit the Sasha Bruce House.

        "One Warm Coat" initiative will receive a V.I.P. upgrade, as
        available. Public Enemy will also invite the homeless kids staying
        at Sasha Bruce House to attend the evening's concert as their
        special guests.
