Tomorrow at the Rabbit's Hole in Dallas, OR!

4/6/2012

0 Comments

 
So, tomorrow is the big night for the first benefit concert.  I have to admit that the number of people who really do care is astounding me.  While I contemplate it, I get very quiet and solemn.  Words fail me in the expression of my gratitude.  Other than a quiet, slightly teary, "Thank you," I think I'm toast when it comes to putting it eloquently.  Given the way my life has gone so far, this means that there is a piece of music that will be the expression of this.  I only hope that I can do the sentiment justice.

The other night I was working on a separate webpage for the concert, but it never got put up.  So, I've copied the code and embedded it below.  It's going to be a great time.  Very many of my social realms are going to converge in a bar.  This could get interesting, especially for all my armchair sociologist friends. :)  And I promise, you don't have to "behave".  If you've known me a long time, then you know how to forgive some pretty serious social weirdness.  So, come on out and if you're feeling werd about not knowing me too well or whatever, then just come out be yourself.  Trust me, it's easier that way. ;)

The Peters Family

While they haven't donated anything to the auction as a company (the services provided by the company are not your everyday kinds of services), I must thank them for the incredible support during this time. It's been super amazing to walk into the office to turn in paperwork for insurance and other generally mundane tasks and find so much care and concern. Partnerships in Community Living, Inc. Perhaps I shouldn't be so amazed thinking that it comes from a company who's employees are professional caregivers. But as we say at work, "Work at work, home at home". I've heard of several co-workers who are planning to make it out. Thanks! See you there!

There are more to post. I'll put them up asap!

 

Benefit event for Kevin Elmore

Kevin Elmore is an area musician whose life drastically changed in the past few months when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and told he needed surgery to remove it. He went from playing in several area bands, doing what he loves, to shifting his focus to the treatment and healing of what turned out to be a melanoma tumor. His surgery on March 8 of this year was a success, but his journey is not over. He still has recovery ahead of him and will be undergoing gamma knife treatments followed by very close medical scrutiny the next couple of years to make sure that all cancerous cells have been removed. Kevin has remained brave, positive, and kept perspective on the important things in his life - music and the people close to him - throughout this ordeal. His musical community, friends, and family are inspired by his courage and perseverance (he played guitar as soon as he got home from the hospital!).

How Your Donation Helps

As you can imagine, Kevin has lost time from work and accrued other expenses not covered by insurance. It is times like this where as a community, people can step in and lend a helping hand. A donation of goods and services for our auction, or just a cash donation can make a big difference. It truly is all about community these days. We can accomplish great things when we all pull together!






Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love. -Lao Tzu

    It's me, Kevin, but with a brain tumor.  Disclaimer:  I have a very dry and twisted sense of humor.  This is a scary situation.  The jokes ("tumor humor") could be a little dark from time to time.  I intend to keep this rather interesting for you, but if I get a "how could you SAY that?!?" response from you, know it's just, well, I hesitate to use "gallows" humor, but I don't have better phrase for it.  Enjoy, and thanks for your support through this time.
