Saturday's Magic For Marissa event was a huge success and I'm very thankful to everyone who came out and made the event happen. The show was sold out and we raised lots of money. Biggest thanks to Martha and Denise for co-producing the show with me and making all the details go smoothly.
When all is said and done (and collected) we'll have raised over $3000 for Marissa's medical bills.
Justin McClure, Yayne Abeba, and Beth Schumann all had great sets. Jonah and Mid-One rocked the crowd despite some technical difficulties. Those two are total pros though. They didn't drop the crowd once in the 15 minutes it took to get their tracks up an running.
And my band, if I do say so myself, slayed the joint. :) Not only was our normal percussionist Rafael filling in on drums for Joe, but we were playing some of our most difficult cuts with only 3 rehearsals. And my guys pulled it off beautifully. :)
I will have some video up in the next day or two. I'm also considering putting the show together on DVD for sale, with the proceeds also going to help Marissa pay for her treatments. If you're interested in getting a copy, let me know so I can gauge demand.
I need to go update the website, but we are still taking donations if you haven't done so yet. Visit the Magic For Marissa website for details.
Thanks to everyone involved!
