We had a great time opening for Joe Louis Walker on the 16th. It was a special night for sure with a surprise guest.

A friend of mine approached me the other day regarding a benefit they are having for his friends daughter. Jessica Whitson is a 20yr
old girl from Melrose, MA. When she was 17 in an instant, the world changed for her and her family. On the morning of June 29th, 2006,
Jessica suffered a serious spinal cord injury - the result of a tragic car accident. In that brief moment, Jessica's life was transformed
and she awoke to a long and difficult road to recovery. You can learn more about her here: http://angelsforjessica.com/index.htm
Update:
Jessica
L. Whitson passed away unexpectedly on Saturday November 7 at Merrimack Valley Hospital in Haverhill,MA at the age of 20.
We are still
having this event and all proceeds are being donated to Spinal Chord Research. A $10.00 donation at the Door. Live Music from The
Mighty Bad Habits http://www.themightybadhabits.com, Evenspeak http://www.myspace.com/evenspeak and others. We hope you can make it..
We
are still looking for donations. If you can help us out that would be great! Jon Butcher from the Jon Butcher Axis has sent us two
autographed CD's that were his first releases back in 1983! They are not available on CD to the general public and the only people
who have a copy are the original band members and what I have here! This will be a true treasure to any hardcore collector of Boston
music!
Special letter sent from Travis Roy:
I'm so sorry to hear about Jessica's passing. I hope her family is doing OK. Those of us
who are paralyzed try and make the best of the abilities we still have, but there is no way around it that this is a difficult way
to live. My hope (and personal belief) is she has more peace where she is now. I wish you nothing but the best with the fundraiser.
Best wishes, Travis Roy
