Autie benefit show...

Post Reply New Topic

at about midnight, we got back from an autism benefit show. 6 bands, silent auction, and various shirt/cd sales to benefit one of the guys in the band who's son just turned 9 and has full on autism.

my ears are ringing, and i'm entirely worn out, but we had soooo much fun. i talked for a bit with Vince, who put the show on. we compared notes on the whole autie/aspie thing. the singer for my friend's band decided we should maybe do an aspie benefit show. heh.

it's a shame how many people were mad about the $10 cover charge. i, personally, thought it was cheap for the entertainment. money flowed freely last night. would have probably flowed a bit more freely had i been designated drinker, but it wasnt my turn.

looks like about $1000 was raised. i'm kinda proud that the weird, ozarky, metal and rockabilly community puts such efforts forth.

...now if only i could hear. everytime someone says something, the hubby and i are yelling "WHAT!?!?"

i was going to get angry and join the Thread Killers Society...72 views and no comments?!?!


...then i realized i was expecting comments from the anti-social aspie board.

duh

i forgot where i was. thanks for reading though.

Nice avatar. Did you make it yourself?

thankies. nope, i stole it from someone. i made a few of my avatars myself, but no one talks to me when i have tattoo avatars...

That's really cool. Where is the money going to?

When I went to a nearby "gig" at a folk music place down the street that also hosts bands for jazz and alternative, etc...it costed $5. They also sold candy (Skittles, Hershey's, etc) for $1 and the same for pop cans..

Money went to little Anthony's medical bills and to Delaware Autism.

Dang, sounds like a good show...I would've gone if it had been within driving distance.
