Shannon couldn't make it because she got snowed in so I ended up hosting the event pretty much at the last minute.  It so was fun, though.  The screaming contest was hilarious.

AND we were able to raise a decent chunk of change for Project Safe. 

Incidentally, if you get a chance to check out the VISCERA DVD (you should) watch MOCKINGBIRD.  That is one of the freakiest and most effective shorts I have ever seen.

Once again, darlin - I wish you and the event all the best - go make me proud!
Keep a seat in your lap open for me in spirit LOL

Everyone wish us luck tonight.  Since Shannon had to cancel and I'm co-hosting the show now, lord only knows what could happen.  lol

Already today, I got stranded at the university after our radio interview and had to hoof it all over campus in the rain.

And of course it's still raining full force so my hair looks like a tribute to Piper Laurie (guess it's fitting LOL)

I've got about two hours until the first show.  We'll see what shakes loose. 

gotta work that alcoholic demographic for ya, mave LOL

Get your tickets for the show online right now!  They are on sale until 5PM.  Don't miss out.  You know you wanna be there.  Canadians, you have an excuse so I'll let ya slide.
