Blue + Green Ball – A Benefit for Todd Blair
at SOMArts, San Francisco, CA
8pm-1pm
Longtime Survival Research Labs member and CCA teacher Todd Blair suffered a serious head injury after the SRL show at Robodock in Amsterdam. While he is slowly regaining the use of his body and trying to speak, he has an arduous road ahead of him, including heavy medical costs. To that end, SRL is throwing him a benefit event with entertainment, food, and an auction of crafts, art, and SRL memorabilia. There will be steampunk cars by the Neverwashaul gang, fire art by the Flaming Lotus Girls, the Extra Action Marching Band, and bellydancing with Kristen, Kyrsten, Gibson Pearl, and Janice with her Sol Studio student dancers.
