My I'm chatty today. I'm just having time between queries to do other things, so I guess the result is posts in here.

I read an article about this group in yesterday's local paper. Knowing how many of my friends are live music fans and some of them metal music fans, please help out in any way that you can either by donating or signing their petition for a memorial http://www.stationfamilyfund.org/

unfortunately,
to date,
the legal efforts on behalf of survivors
have focused exclusively on
suing the club owners and Anheiser Busch (sp?)
rather than the performers
who created the disaster in the first place...

that's something i have a hard time getting behind.
especially as a musician.

Have *all* of them done this though? I agree there are lots of sue-happy people. I don't support them, but can feel for people that just want to get back to normal living, as possible as that is. I'm definitely going to do some more research on this group before throwing cash their way (I'm hoping this won't be too difficult since a couple of the group's members live in my town, hence the article in the local paper).

Apparently Great White is doing a tour and proceeds are going to The Station fire victims (according to this group's site). To date though, I don't think they've taken any kind of responsibility for the thing, which just makes me ill. Why the hell do you need pyrotechnics in a teeny local club? Geesh!

if there are -any- suits against the band,
they've gotten zero press.
