From Ms. Katy Bell:
Our pal Mark Growden, the music man who has entertained us for so many years, needs our help. Mark was injured somewhat seriously in a bicycle accident a few weeks ago. He was riding his fancy roadbike, training for the upcoming AIDS Ride, and the frame of the bike snapped. He broke four or so bones in his back, and dislocated his shoulder. He cannot play his music, nor train for his ride, the two things he was focusing most of his time doing. The former was how he was paying the rent. He has lost his place to live. This is all on the heels of his efforts to get his health and his life back on track.
I’ve spoken with Mark some, and he is, in his own words, “spiritually strong,” and keeping his recovery on track which I find awesome in the face of this setback. But he does need a little help from his friends. A couple of us folks have taken up the case. I hope we can count on your help.
Here’s what we’re asking:
First, the easiest and most timely item, getting some cash in Mark’s pocket. He has a paypal account set up through his email: markgrowden@gmail.com)
If you can afford to send him some scratch, please do asap.
Second, Mark had scheduled a benefit at 12 galaxies on March 29 to raise funds for his AIDS Ride. This is now, as Sister Mable puts it, A Benefit for the Being of Mark Growden. Please mark your calendars and attend this show. It will be amazing.

Wed, March 26, 2008 - 2:36 PMWait, I'm confused. Several people at Uncle Mikey's art opening last Monday were all saying that this event is going on this Thursday which is the 27th. Is it really Saturday? Or was it moved? -
