GROINSTRONG

On the 13th of November at The Bell House in Gowanus, my friends here in New York threw a giant benefit to support the GROINSTRONG cause and to help me cover my mounting medical expenses. The party was a smashing success!

Dozens of donors generously offered items raffled or auctioned off in between stellar sets by Hawk and Dove and The Mugs. The loving audience helped close the night with a live band karaoke auction, paying for the right to rock out their own versions of our favorite classics. Most importantly, people had a fantastic time coming together to acknowledge the power of our own communities to heal those among us in need.

Endless thank yous to everyone who had a part in making this happen! Very special thanks to Katharine, Lynne and Steve for all the planning and prize gathering, and to William, Skippy, Sara and the rest of the folks at The Bell House for sharing their marvelous space.

Chris Michael was kind and talented enough to create a video documenting the evening for those sadly absent. It so accurately captures the loving positivity and TOTALLY FUN TIMES! Even if you were able to join us for the -a-thong, it’s definitely worth a look!

The final piece of the Groinstrong-a-thong puzzle was live band karaoke with Bunnie England & The New Originals. Check out these performances from myself and my girlfriend Kathryn… that is, if you think you can handle the blazing firepower of rock and roll!!
