This sounds terrific and I'm afraid it got buried, so I'm kicking it back up to the top. I have my tickets.

This thread is not getting much traffic. Think it needs a new subject line...

Allow me to take my theory out for a spin...

Kate Shindle is a MAJOR SWEETHEART! She did a couple of shows in 99 here in Chicago to promote her Christmas CD that benefitted the National AIDS Fund...and then got to see her again when she toured as Sally in Cabaret.

BRAVO KATE! BRAVO TO ALL!

Darn it! I'm missing this concert by a few days (my flight out of NY is on the 17th)! It's such a great cause, though and I hope it's a HUGE success.

Here's a link to a nice article about the event, including some of the songs that people will be singing, and about the Matthew Shepard Foundation. http://www.gaycitynews.com/gcn_307/embracingamission.html
Is anyone going to the benefit on Thursday? It sounds like a great concert for an ourstanding cause.
