Take Steps, Be Heard for Crohn's and Colitis 2011

My roommate has Chron's disease and will be doing this fundraising walk at Solider Field on Saturday. The walk will take place on the Great Lawn on the east side of the field. Darkside and I will have to shake our Katie O's hangover quickly, as we will be hitting the Main Stage near the Field to provide the musical entertainment for the evening. We should be starting around 4-4:30. If you can come on out for a bit, that would be great. If you can donate a couple of bucks to a worthy cause to help some good people, that would be awesome as well!

My purse was stolen last night and because I have to deal with related issues I won't make it today.

Also my credit cards have all been cancelled.

Will I still be able to donate later in the week? IF not I may be able to give someone cash to put a donation on their card.

bump...


I'll be doing this again. I know its a long way off, but it was really a good time last year. Was a great venue to play at, and the people that walked said it was very nice to take a stroll up and down the Lakefront. There will be live music by at least part of MFD. My roommate's page is linked below, so if you could donate a little bit that would be awesome.

I'll be bumping this from time to time as events pop up for this and more info becomes available

The Walk is Sat June 9th at the 'Great Lawn' just east of Soldier Field. MFD will be playing along with my Dad and his drummer friend, Ron.


There will be a benefit party in the Oak Lawn area on Saturday June 2nd that anybody is welcome to attend. Booze, food, games etc...and music by part of or all of MFD in the early portion of the evening. No "admission", but everybody does something to help out; buy a Tshirt, raffle tickets, a straight donation, etc.

Sooo... can we go electric for the 9th? I mean, there's no reason to be acoustic, is there?

i don't think the songs (in the set list) that were written originally on the acoustic would translate to electric...i also think this should be in an email. :wink:

i've thought about it previously....at best it's a trade-off of both, but I don't think it could be all electric.

I'm pretty sure we played a dozen or so of our acoustic songs last year and it was fine. Its just background noise anyway for the most part. I'll likely be playing an acoustic guitar fwiw

I think you mean 2010...
It's not out of the realm of possibility, but i'm really only seeing 3-4 songs that could be done full on electric.

Nah, cause I remember Frank saying he'd go to Mikeys sometime wed to drop off something, like the speakers or the pa or some damn thing, and I said "I really don't think you'll be going to Roselle Wednesday"

Jan 29th 2011 if memory serves, but my memory isn't what it used to be. now it's all full of crazy formulas.

Yup. I made sure I knocked a couple of knobs off that amp too.


Anyway....yeah the party will be a blast. The walk is fun too. We will likely be partying back on the Southside after the walk as well.

Darko and I played for a benefit party yesterday that raised almost $5000

MFD will be playing at the Chron's walk just east of Soldiers Field next Saturday...we will be starting about 4pm. If you are in the area, stop by! Listen to some good tunes and donate a little bit for a worthy cause.
