What You Missed (Pt. 1) || December 4, 2006

Review and video clips from last night's Picnic Fire Benefit are available at the top-left link, so do check those out. Some thank you's are in order, since I depended on the kindness of more than a few people to host the affair.

Thanks to: Tahiti for being the organizational mastermind (when he wasn't chattin' with ladies, anyway); Shanghai 5 and EZ Eddie D for manning the BBQ and buying/cooking food for everyone; the Double Wide and its staff for allowing the benefit through their doors; B Smoove and Chris X for manning turntables throughout the night; every one of the acts who performed; every person who contributed to the nearly $1,500 that was donated at the venue; Dream Fund for ponying up an additional $1,000; that dude who freestyled with me while we were killing time; Jose Cuervo; Chee-tos.

Oh, right--Pt. 2 of "What You Missed" will be uploaded tomorrow. Can anyone say "best folk-rock band in town"? You will in less than 24 hours. -SM
