The benefit show was FANTASTIC , all together we raised over 1000 dollars! I want to thank all the bands that came down and played well into the night to rock out and get everyone a dancing. Also epicureevent.com for keeping the whole thing moving during the night and star sound studios for recording it all. It will be available in a few days!! It was a great turn out and I am SO happy with the way things went, this means I'm only a few hundred away from my goal.. let's get there !!!!
