Julia Roberts has been announced to introduce pal Dave Matthews and his band at a Stand Up For A Cure 2008 concert at Madison Square Garden on Sept 10.

Julia is a fan of the band and has referred to herself as their “mascot.” Stay off the tour bus, Hotpants. She also starred in their video for “Dreamgirl” in 2005.

“The charity is honored that she will be introducing the band at the
concert,” says a rep for the event. “Her support will make a huge
difference.” Stand Up For A Cure benefits lung cancer research.

Let me break it down for you what a Dave Matthews concert is like. I’ve been dragged to one. There’s a LOT of hackey sack. And frat douches in backwards baseball caps. But not always the beefy (and cheesy) kind I like. It’s more the tall curly-haired ones in manpris and rugby shirts who haven’t washed their balls in ages. And they’re trying to convince 10 graders who are at their first concert to give them oral in some secluded part of the outdoor concert area. And there’s a lot of people smoking hash (don’t ask). And it all sounds like one big long song. And there’s some of those extended jams that just cause me to drink more and more beer so I can forget what’s happening.

But if you are gonna go to one, go to this one. Because charity’s good.
