GOODBYE HAROLD

Harold Hunter died a few days ago. He was a really nice guy I used to talk to in the office when my friend worked at Zoo York and who I'd see out all the time and say hi. You probably remember him from that movie Kids. He was a really sweet kid and a part of the downtown community. He's going to be sorely missed. I hope he's somewhere comfortable and nice now. UPDATE: The Harold Hunter Fund has been established to off set the funeral and final arrangment expenses. We have received some soulful donations, but are in need of additional funds to cover these costs. All possible donations may be made through: Paypal.com haroldhunter@rockstarbearings.com in the interim as the infrastructure for the HH Fund is set in place. We thank you in advance for your generosity and know that Harold is loved and survived by many. The site www.haroldhunter.com is up and will be updated constantly with information on Harolds wake/viewing and forthcoming events. As we prepare to bid farewell to a brother we are reminded that: Legends Never Die

IT'S OVER!

The event I've been working like crazy on is finally over! It was a smashing success and now I can blog again and maybe start to have a life again. This is a pic of me and Gideon who is such a sweet guy and agreed to host the event. He did an incredible job and John Legend gave a wonderful performance. DJ's Nickodemus and Rekha did a great job spinning and Claire Danes and Billy Crudup came. I have now learned how to grovel like crazy to publicists for their celebs and I have gotten MUCH better at being an aggressive nag to them. I've also had a fucking rad time making this event happen. But I've missed antlertown TERRIBLY and now I'm back. Right now I'm off to boogie down for girls night out with Sammy, Pammy, Leah and I couldn't be more excited.
