I worked with Eric Lira for several years at PTMW. He passed on at 45 from natural causes recently, his wife and family have been left with bills that the insurance won't cover. Please come help us remember Eric and give the family a hand. You will make a lot of new friends, and come away feeling you knew Eric, even if you didn't before.

Thanks for caring,
Les (Mutant)

Sound provided by Sonny Heller.

BBQ by Steve Forman.

Counting on that the weather will be clear, we are looking at having a jam session type thing going on at the separate inside facility throughout the day and during main stage break in the evening.

Given that, we are looking for a "host band" for the jam session. Please contact me asap if you are interested.

All musicians are encouraged to bring their tools and be ready to sharpen them.

The event will be at the World Famous Lessman Farm/Truckhenge complex, Ron and Linda have been gracious enough to make it available to us.

Spread the word and keep an eye out for more details!
