Hey Jammers!

I just wanted to drop by and leave a link for my blog. I had a brain tumor removed 2 weeks ago and I am just resting up and started writing a blog, I would love it if any of you could take the time to come over leave a little love word or donation. I love this band and am so excited that they are finally coming back to SLC!

    Hey Holly,

    Hope your feeling better. That surgical scar looks all kinds of nasty, but I am quite sure that it's better than the alternative :? ;):D

    ((((Good Vibes)))) coming your way for a speedy and full recovery.

    "Fight to get it back again"

    Cheers,

    Hang in there girl!

    I'll be back to check on your blog, so keep it fresh.

    I gotta ask though...

    Blue or Red???

    I root for the lowly Prairie Gold :oops:

    Hey thanks for the kind words! I personally am not a huge fan of either blue or red I usually just go with what my man likes and I am pretty sure all that matters to him is the line.

    People you have no idea what 5 dollars can do to a $313.00 charge for all my drugs I picked up at the pharmacy today. So please if you can do! Keep on rockin' in the free world and oh yeah The Fixer is my new favorite song!

    I just stumbled across this thread sifting through the message board, not something I usually do. My heart goes out to you and your family. I will do just about anything I can to help you out. My wife is a massage therapist and once I tell her your story I am sure she will invite you over for a free session. Maybe we can organize some sort of benefit that coincides with the release of the new album or the upcoming show. Let me know of anything you need help with.

    Thank you so much! I'm so glad you stumbled in tonight. My man, Eliot Rosewater on the board, is working with Foxy Mop as I type to organize the pre-show party and fundraiser for the SLC show. We would love some help as I'm sure it is a lot of work. I love local jammers. Thanks again.

    I have been in contact with the Puck in West Valley. They said they would do a private party on the roof for a group over 25. If you need any help planning, organizing, contacting, or anything let me know. I was getting close to doing something , but this works out even better.

    I would love to see a pre-party happen. I have enjoyed the work Foxy has done for the two that I have been to. Please try to get it all ages, as I cart my teenage future generation with me!

    Is it possible to donate something to the party with the intended benefits going to you? I will donate some items either way. If the party looks like it might be on the small side, I could just do a Pit-wide type raffle or donation of a poster of two or three and see if the benies are better that way.

    Just keep in touch.

    I'm working on getting this shit started. I do not want the funds to go directly to Holly and me. Holly may have mentioned she's out of work for a while now and has no health insurance. It's a blow to our income that she's not working, to say the least. And we're definitely struggling to pay some bills, and we will deal with the collection calls that should start rolling in any day now. As far as the medical bills, which are a plenty, we are working to qualify her retroactively with medicaid. We're asking the hospital and surgeon to give us a break financially and write some/all of the expenses off.

    So my intent is for this fundraiser to benefit either the hospital, the surgeon's office, or whatever entity that is helping making it possible for lowering our cost for the life-saving care that has been provided for Holly. We would really love to see any funds go to the surgeon's office or an entity close to him. He has been simply amazing. Cannot even begin to describe the awesomeness of this man so I won't even try.

    We'd love some help getting the ball rolling on this party/fundraiser. If you can help please drop me a line.

    Thanks,

    Bryon
