Relay for Life (05.14.08)

My good pal Haroldthe Burrel hit me up a couple of weeks ago to perform at one of his Relay for Life events in SL. For those of you who don't know, Relay for Life is a fundraising event for the American Cancer Society, and I'm happy to support them in any way I can. I mean, what could be a better cause than helping to fight cancer, fer gawd's sake, I ask you?

I think the show was really fun, though I did spend a wee bit too much time complaining about a) my sore back and b) being hot in my little oven of a studio. But besides that, everyone seemed to have a great time. And, of course, the tips I made were instead funneled into the donations kiosks for RfL.

Song Sample: "What I Got" (Sublime)
