show is scheduled for augutst 1 at the rudyard kipling here in louisville. my band is playing and i’ve got a couple other lined up. i’m trying to find someone from louisville with a decent following that would be willing to play for free, but i’m having more luck finding bands from lexington.
i may eventually try to do a fundraiser in lexington as well, but since i’m in louisville i figured this would be a better place to start. but i’m beginning to think otherwise.
anywho…i’m also going to have a silent auction. greg martin from the kentucky headhunters has agreed to send me some autographed stuff which is bad ass, and i’m sure i can get some movie tickets. if anyone has any ideas of individuals or organizations i might want to contact, please let me know.
this is something i thought up while visiting my brain cancer buddy a few weeks ago. i’ve been blessed with all kinds of good health and most of the time i don’t deserve it. three of my closest friends have either come down with cancer themselves or in the case of my friend adrienne, her 18 month old daughter has lukemia. not to mention my father who is a colon cancer survivor and my brother in law who had melanoma.
it’s all around me. and it’s tragic whenever anyone gets cancer, but when it’s a small child. it’s truly heartbreaking. that’s why i’m thinking of starting my own non-profit and calling it “save the babies”. all the cancer societies i’ve contact including locks of love all want at least half the money raised if i am to use thier names. greedy bastards. i’d rather give the money to my friends. i know they need it.
so anyway, that’s what i’m up to.
