Greetings friends!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who helped and participated in the Knoxville Bands Together event. We raised right at $5000 and had a great time! A huge thank you to the bands who showed up on time, went on stage on time and gave it their all! It was truly amazing! See - artists CAN organize themselves! I would like to thank the following folks who donated items for the auction as well. It was very successful:
Sapphire
Bliss
Disc Exchange
Nama
La Costa
Tickets from:
Bijou Theater
Knoxville Symphony Orchestra
Artwork from:
Holla John Paul Boltik
Custom Marble
Ironwood Studios
Gift Packs from:
WUTK
Writer’s Block
The Cottage
Personal Training Sessions
Guitar Lessons from Jack Aikens
An autographed CD from Allison Krauss and Robert Plant from Katie Granju
There were also some last minute submissions for the auction that arrived mysteriously and I want to thank you for those - whoever you are!!! Some things just appeared on the table while I wasn't looking - AWESOME how that happens! People were really in the spirit for giving!
Thank you to Magpies for the sweets for the bands! Nama/La Costa for the dinner! Tomato Head for the pizza for our late night munchies!
A super thank you to Jim Harb for being the task master and keeping me focused AND for running the auction. Thank you to the folks that manned the auction tables and took care of everything.
A big hug to John Bohstedt for being the master of ceremonies - John, it really went downhill after I had to get up and talk!
Thanks to RIK'S MUSIC for providing backline for the bands. WOW! There's NO WAY we could have pulled all this off without you!
Kisses to Jane Crow!
Last, but certainly not least a huge, huge thank you to everyone at the Valarium for providing a venue for this event. You are incredible!
I KNOW I have forgotten to mention some of you by name, but your contributions did not go un-appreciated or un-noitced. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It was beautiful!
