Well it was not my intention to disappear off of here for 12 days, but I guess life happens. I can think of no better way to restart the blog posts than to talk about the fundraiser I attended along with my girlfriend and about 175 other people last night at Universal Preservation Hall.
The event, as previously reported on here, was called "Rust Rocks the Hall", and included the Rust Brothers Band, a fun and talented group that kept the crowd dancing the whole night. It was really a great party and I enjoyed meeting many of the guests and of course being a small part of the fundraising that will be used to continue repairs and renovations to that beautiful and historic building on Washington Street. It was a fun and successful night for a great cause!
Next up on the UPH schedule is an a cappela concert on April 19th. The Hall's web site has this information about the concert:
This event will feature performances by many local a cappella groups, such as the Bandersnatchers
, Drastic Measures, Sonneteers and Accents. The groups will be performing at the first of a series of concerts being held at Universal Preservation Hall. A 50/50 raffle will be held with some excellent prizes! $10 tickets are available at the door (children 10 and under FREE) and all contributions will go towards the restoration and operation of UPH. Contact Mary Beth McGarrahan at the UPH office for reservations.
The Hall will also hold a raffle at Siro's on Kentucky Derby Day, which is May 2nd. I hope to be able to attend both events and continue to be a part of the Hall's future.
