ok support and prayers for yet another.....

[keepingthechange]

Ok everyone, Im working on something big, and am really close to making it happen.

Im working on a benefit show that will benefit The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Most of you who know my story know how important this issue is to me. And lately I have gained the resources to help me do someting to help others who cant find hope in their life on a broader scale.

I am very close to four local Austin bands, and I have asked them to do this show, and so far two have agreed, and I am waiting to hear back from the other two (one has said they will discuss it soon). The venue I am looking at to hold it has said they will hold the date for me which is November 22nd.

Here is the importance of that date. It is the day after my birthday, and the day Im celebrating my birthday with my friends (which means Im tying in my b-day party with this benefit show). Heres why Im doing this. The day I conquered suicide was the day I had my life "rebirth" so to speak, so what better day to have it than on the day I celebrate my birthday.

Anyway, now that I have probably totally confused yall, heres what Im asking...

for your prayers and support that at least one more band will say yes. The band im waiting on right now, will most likely agree, and if they dont have any scheduling conflicts, than the show is a done deal.


Thanks everyone!!

You told me about this yesterday over IM, and I wish you luck! As we all know suicide is a very important topic that must be brought to the forefront, and more importantly, prevented!

Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate it, it means a lot. Im just axiously awaiting an answer from Mothers Anthem, some very close friends of mine. Theyve got a packed weekend of travel, so I probably wont hear anything until next week. It should happen as I mentioned, unless they have some kind of scheduling conflict, which is the only thing Im worried about.

Thanks again for the support!
