friends and co-workers would like to help them get back on their feet.

Come Drink and Eat, Dance, Drink, Dance, and Donate.
Give us money to help Reggie.

Free, but bring $ to bid on the auction and buy drinks, please.

*The fun starts at 7pm with cheap dinner plates and a silent auction.
Vegetarian Jamaican food (from Veggie Castle) and Meatasaurus African
plates. Photos, furniture, art and other good stuff to buy cheap. Drinks.
Bike Blender Margarita Madness. Charming and bizarre atmosphere in a
functioning metal fabrication shop.

*Live music starts @ 9pm: Dylan Oakley (folk), Phil not Bombs (folk punk), Team
