Could a sober person even have fun at this show? It's great the Blackwells are doing this, but it's so sad. I get teary eyed every time I think about the horrible tragedy they're going through.
I think I'd buy a ticket to help their cause and wouldn't actually show up at the show. Luv & Peace, Alex Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w. Prince | |
