Didn't breast cancer have the month of October? I mean, I can only focus on one horror at a time! -------------------- I don't suffer from my insanity. I enjoy every minute of it!

Amy had to schedule her chemo-therapy so that her "good days" between treatments would fall on this weekend. Almost 3 years later, on Feb 28th, she lost her battle with breast cancer. Amy's birthday was on January 28th, her wedding anniversary was Feb 4th, her major surgery was feb 14th, 2000 (coinciding w/ my parent's 50th wedding anniversary) February sucks. The weather sucks, business always is down, and there are some pretty bad recent memories also. Amy's husband, Willie, sings with us in Gil's. Gil's other singer, Keith, is married to a breast cancer survivor. I discovered that Rik Vayo, lead singer for Afterlife, lost his mother to breast cancer. This is where the idea for this event originated. Steve Shamsi at Molloy's had a date for us, so it was decided we'd try to generate something positive from all this. Bob and Brian Benintendi are my cousins. They took a big load of responsibility off of us when they volunteered to MC this event. (they also got a pass from the wives to stay out late and party) If any of you remember "Psycho Benny" from Q-102, that was Bryan. Bryan made his debut on stage at the Cincinnati Grille back in December http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb2KUUFdF8s After a few beers on the 12th, we'll try to talk him into an encore This is not a GCSO or a "Greenhills" sponsored event and I don't want any of the great people who always give of themselves to feel excluded. I didn't ask all you great volunteers to help because I know you would have said yes. At the same time, I would be amiss if I didn't point out that a large number of people who are unfamiliar with Greenhills will be coming to the village for this event. This represents a great opportunity to make a positive impression. The network of BC survivors and their families is huge in this area. Anyone who wants to be a part of this can PM me to get plugged in. Gil's and Afterlife have volunteered to play this event. We will also have "Restless Day", a new band made up of some members of the Brookbank/Bedingfield/Kissel families. I have never heard them, but I look forward to their performance and hope we can get them in the mix for some of these local musical events. I went to high school with their parents, so this is a great chance to get some fresh meat into the lineup Uncle doesn't miss a thing. He was promoting this event before I could do it. I appreciate the great job you do.

My mom died from breast cancer, too. It's a nasty disease. -------------------- I don't suffer from my insanity. I enjoy every minute of it!

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

I know it is not part of your regular attire and you always harrass me for wearing one so I thought I would return the favor. Everyone Else, Dazed does more good things for more people than most know. He likes to fly below the radar. Can anyone tell me a better way to thank him than to show up? Glenn

I wasn't going to be looking at my wedding pictures for the rest of my life only to notice my necktie looked like a slip knot. I figured a former captain in the US army could tie it correctly. -------------------- Dazed comments do not in any way, reflect the Community Standards of the residents of the Village of Greenhills, and to assume otherwise would mean that you are a total jackass (and chief spokesman for the GHS).
