Well, tonight was a night to remember. The benefit at Saxy's was a sight to behold. Mannequins and friends, art and destroyed art. Details to follow, but here's a shot of the scene. If you missed it, no big deal. Catch it next time if you can. (That's a joke, this was, fingers crossed, the last time I'll be participating in a post-fire benefit in my honor.)
Highlights:
The Return of Vince and Emily Horn. Halleluiah! Back from the far East.
Ricky holding the mannequin's crotches.
Love One Another's Compilation Fire CD (featuring such classics as Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire") blasting through the cafe and neighborhood.
Waylon's cameo and subsequent trying to feel up my dress.
The Red.
The Smell of Fire.
The Mac (and someone's offer to rescue the hard-drive. It's already been rescued. Thanks, y'all).
The wine.
The art. Found, rescued and created for an evening of classy coming together and loving.
If you'd like to hear more about my experience in the fire in a dialog, check out the most recent Zen is Stupid podcast. Patrick and I talk fire and impermanence in a sad but not at all demoralizing show. Zen is Stupid: Fire! Tune in here.

After the podcast I could imagine the Forest Gump character Jenny yelling in your head, “Run, Gwendolyn, run..,” and off you go. LOL! Get the MACS JEN-NAY! ; )
Happy to see the Concert for Gwen & Friends Compilation Fire CD was a highlight. ROCKIN' Like the cover art expresses - beautiful flowers from the flames…
Again sorry for the losses you guys have suffered but very glad for everyone's safety.
To new Beginnings!…
“no,no sir. I loved that condo. I loved every stick of furniture. The lamps, the chairs, the rugs, WERE ME, The dishes were me. the plants…” - my favorite line from my favorite movie.
BTW you should have the renters insurance line at the end of every podcast…like how bob barker does the pets spayed or nutered line PSA at the end of every price is right. HAH
