Dear All,
We are having another
Shannon Leigh benefit. Yes, another one. But this time there's a twist. We are celebrating her musical side. Come enjoy a night of fantastic music featuring such acts as
Wammo and his new country band,
Shane Bartell,
Bill Davis,
Oliver Steck,
Gary Graves and many more! You can't afford to miss a line up like this!
We will also have a silent auction! Featuring such amazing items as massage gift certificates,
Austin Slam gear and DVDs, tickets to the 30th
Big Star Burlesque, editing sessions with local poets! The list just goes on!
Read your poems with a live band and
Christopher Lee!
We'll re-air
Mike Henry's memorial video and have Shannon T-shirts, CDs, and books for sale.
Please post this flier on your blog and/or Myspace. Print out five copies and post them in five of your favorite local hang outs. Forward this message to anyone and everyone you know. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your wallet. And, most importantly, bring your love for Shannon.
We really need to bite these bills in the ass and love Shannon back as much as she loved us.
The Where:
Headhunters @ 8th and Red River (caddy corner to Stubbs)
The When: Tuesday, August 19 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.
All proceeds benefit Shannon's family.
Also: anyone who has any items for the silent auction or can spend a little time at the merch table or some time posting fliers all over town, please get in touch with Panika Dillon immediately: panikamcd@yahoo.com
Thanks, I love you all and look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.
Love,
Panika p.s. It's okay if you don't live in Austin or won't be here. Be here in spirit: let your Austin friends (connected to the slam or not... if they like a good show or a good party, they'll enjoy this night)
p.p.s. I'll post the flier I talked about tomorrow.
