BTW, if anybody wants to help, or perform, or keep me sane, I'm sure I could use you. I mean, utilize your presence.

Fundraiser to Benefit Paul Burns
Local Actor, Scarred in Brutal Attack, Will Get Help Paying Medical Bills
The Alcott Arts Center and friends of Paul Burns will host a fundraiser at 8 p.m. on November 20 to assist the local actor/director with medical bills incurred after a savage attack.
In the very early morning hours of Sunday, November 8, Kansas City Actor/Director Paul Burns was thrust into the middle of a physical altercation that left him with one hundred and fifty stitches in his face. In an effort to try to protect a friend who was physically incapable of protecting himself, Paul nearly lost his life, the blade that cut him missing his Jugular by a couple of millimeters. He was treated and released at a nearby emergency room, and is recovering very nicely.
Curtis Smith, long time friend of Paul’s and organizer of the event said, “Because Paul has no medical insurance, he not only has to suffer the emotional aftermath of being attacked and scarred for life, but he also has to suffer the financial hardships of being on the hook for emergency room fees. That's why his friends are helping raise money to help alleviate the additional stress of that financial albatross.”
The fundraiser will be November 20 at the Alcott Arts Center, located at 180 South 18th Street, Kansas City, KS, doors open at 7:30 and admission will cost $12 at the door. There will be performances by local musicians Dean Vivian, Vi Tran, and Lezlie Revelle, with a special performance from Sony recording artist and one of the three American Tenors, Nathan Granner.
There will also be an auction, and other activities to be announced. Proceeds from the benefit will help Burns pay medical bills that resulted from the attack. Proceeds that exceed Burns’ needs will be donated to the Kansas City Free Health Clinic.
Please note that that this is a cash only event, and the Alcott Arts Center is not handicap accessible.

Curtis Smith is a local Actor, Musician, and Vice President of the Kansas City Horror Club.
