well, it’s going to be another fun friday. i’ll be in the hospital for most of the day tomorrow getting my liver biopsied – which i can’t imagine is especially pleasant. but my docs want to know the extent of my liver damage before we start the trial on the 13th.
and now, here’s a special guest post from kathryn! please help her out if you can.
Dear Friends and Family,
This past January, I submitted a dance piece I had choreographed to the Winter Follies program at Spoke the Hub, a local Brooklyn arts space. Audience members had the chance to vote for their favorite piece and amazingly, I won! I was awarded 50 free hours of rehearsal space as well as a produced weekend in the fall. I have been working all summer to choreograph my first full evening of work and I am very excited to present it to everyone.
As lucky as I am to have been awarded such a generous amount of resources, I still have some expenses that I need to cover. I have 7 very generous dancers and a composer who have been offering their time, energy, and extensive creative talent to me since June and I would love to be able to pay them!
Here is where you come in! I need to raise approximately $1000 to cover costs for dancers, costumes, and extra rehearsal space. If you have an extra $5, $10, $50, $500 lying around and would like to make a donation to keeping the arts alive and well (at least in this household), please consider making a contribution to my project. You can donate through PayPal tobosley07@aol.com. Or if you like old-fashioned mail, you can send a check to:

The piece features original compositions by Amir Khosrowpour; Doug Wilkening and Josh Summerville; and Kathryn Wilkening and Jonah Eller-Isaacs as well the music of Andrew Bird, Yo La Tengo, LCD Soundsystem, and Mrs. Elva Miller.
