Wow, what a night. Our second-annual Holiday Blowout was an absolute blast, and with the exception of a few production-related hiccups, it went off without a hitch! Also, the final tally isn’t finished yet, but it appears that we almost DOUBLED the amount of cash we raised for the Food Bank last year. NICE!
First off, huge thanks go out to all of the performers from the evening. We were absolutely thrilled with Telegram’s long-overdue return to the stage, and the fact that the always-wonderful Kitty Snyder joined them onstage was just icing on the musical cake! And even though the drunken revelry of others in the room threatened to drown them out, Adron, Old Custer, Blair Crimmins, Lera Lynn, and Daniel Clay all performed their holiday songs beautifully. And big ups to the Judi Chicago boys for keeping the party going into the night with a perfectly-paced DJ set.
We are truly proud to count the best musicians in this town amongst our friends.
We’d definitely be remiss if we didn’t thank Malissa Sole of 4th Ward Heroes for her promotional and organizational help – hell, I think she Twittered and Facebooked about the show more than we did!
And most definitely we must thank the Highland Ballroom crew for so generously allowing us to commandeer their venue once again this year – Mega, Josh, Val, Adam, and Mary were as accommodating as humanly possible and we appreciate it more than we can say.
Last but not least we want to thank our wonderful friends, family, and fans for not only supporting our band, but also for joining us in our support of the Food Bank. You guys really make all the hard work worthwhile!
See you all in 2010…
