Many of you know my dear friend and former housemate, Pete Greenberg. If you do, you know that he is simply one of the best, friendliest, and funniest humans God saw fit to put on our planet. He is the #1 Honorary Nonfamous Nonstranger. [Honorary because he finds our whole blog thing kinda silly, in his young-curmudgeon way.] I think it fair to say that every single one of us who writes here knows and loves him.

Many of you may not have heard that Pete has been really, really sick. He’s definitely on the road to recovery, but you can imagine the bills. His experience has really brought home for me the ridiculous waste of time, money, and most of all LIVES that the current healthcare situation causes. That’s a longer-term issue… in the mean time, I just want Pete back on his feet in all senses of the phrase.

Luckily, his friends at Sonic Boom and the Stranger have pulled together a great benefit show. The details are below. I will be there with many friends… it will be a tremendous show and a hell of a party. If you can make it, please do!

Even if you can’t make it, please share this with anyone who might like to. There is also a fund in his name at US Bank, if you’d like to help out in a more quiet fashion. Both are greatly appreciated!

There will be another show in May at the Croc… details soon, but David and I will be in Australia then.
