Spotty. Today it was gusty. Previously it was snowy. Kind of a crap shoot.
One of the best artists that nobody knows.
Open for business…..
He does serious slappies. Show up, have fun, help out:
“Greetings all,
Sweet Cobra’s guitar player, Mat is going through his second battle with cancer. He had 3 major surgeries in January of this year to remove tumors from his liver and spine. In addition, he spent 3 weeks in the hospital and is set to do 4 weeks of radiation as follow up. The long term prognosis is good, but he still has a lot of treatment yet to go.
Even though he has insurance, he’s been out of work without pay and the bills are starting to flood in. He wont be back at work for at least another 2 months. Long term disability at his work has a long grace period, so he’ll be paying for a lot of the bills out of pocket.
With all that said, our good friends at Kuma’s Corner in Chicago
http://www. kumas-corner. com/ will be lending a helping hand, as they have done for many of their friends in the past-
Friday, March 28th all tips left at the bar with the
bartenders (Alex and Rose) from 6pm to 2am will go to
a fund to help with medical expenses.
There will all kinds of neato stuff going on-raffles, give-aways,
beer bongs, party balls and guest Dj’s. But mainly it will be eating excellent food and drinking top notch beer.
If you’re not familiar with Kuma’s, they are one fucking hip ass bar/eatery right now, with an amazing
selection of beer and, as Playboy recently announced-the best burger in the lower 48…Maybe even
all 50 states.
Plus, they blast metal and like minded tunes all day, every day.
Our point?
GET THERE EARLY.”
I’ve been hibernating so I’m pretty much out of the loop but the word around town is there’s also an end of winter skatejam/fundraiser down at the carwash on Saturday. Not sure what time it kicks off but bring some money to donate and rip it up on the new ramps.
Charlie is moving, Nick is back and Suhail just got older.
Weirdness.
